Grekumah, what is being done about this? How much more proof do you need that this tournament was a disaster & legitimate players were robbed?

That Hurts watching it, after spending most of my time farming 72 cards

Honestly, I didn't expect them to completely fix the issue before prizes were released. However, I did expect them to do something... for example removal of the card, and re-distribution of a more levelled MGP prize...

But to actually hand the Lightning card out. I must say, I am blown away.

I don't know what to say. I love this game. I came back specifically for the saucer and was very renewed with the TT game... this is very disappointing.

Unless I am misinterpreting your meaning, they are not actually handing out Lightning cards. What the video demonstrates is someone who specifically made a character to prove that the tournament could be & was abused my many. He deleted the card in order to prevent cheaters/exploiters from obtaining it.

Yea, this isnt a Lightning Card hand-out at all.
The guy most likely got beaten on his main, dropping 4th or less

He made another character, got enough points to become 2nd place in the end and that alt character doesnt need the lightning card, so he destroyed it while filming it.

You misinterpreted his meaning. :) He was just saying they went ahead and handed it out to the winners (most of whom cheated).

But to add my two cents: what the hell SE? Rewarding cheaters? Have a little more respect for your players.

It really hurts to see something that valuable thrown away. It's probably a message directed toward SE. "I'd rather not use something I cheated/cheesed for or anyone get it. That's not the point of of TT. The point is to collect all the cards and throwing Lightning Card away is probably not one of them. I'm honestly pretty mad I,m gonna cheese to get Cecil next week. I really want the cards, I'm not the only one in this boat.

Can you fix the tournament rules? Like.... make it so we don't choose our opponents at least?

with pvp win trading and no TT win trading and countless other in game exploate being used you think SE would fix some of the problems but as far as i know people still win trade in pvp so ten to one they'll still win trade in the TT tournament. it's not liek SE has a great track record of fix huge issues just my 2 cents

I did some minor editing to help clarify it. No, the Lightning card was given out.

That's what blew me away.

Well I placed 15th, you can see me in that video. 1530. That was all Elmer. 13 wins, 1 tie. Played it all within an hour of logging in day tournament started. I sat at 5th for the last few days, jumped 10 spots overnight as all the exploiters showed up last minute.

I'm a little disappointed because I think if you kick the exploiters out of that pool, I would have finished in top 10. I wasn't going to win the Lightning card with that score. Still, all I lost was some MGP and a gold pack, so whatever I guess. But I'd rather see the tournaments taken out of the game entirely than see them continue like this.

Look at the bright side. The cheaters will be back for that tournament as well, because there's still a sizable MGP reward for placing, even if you already have Lightning's card. This won't stop until SE actually fixes the tournament!

There. Don't you feel better now?
