Feast ratings should be account wide - why are alts allowed in the top 100???

There are people in the Top 100 standings (on Aether) for example that have multiple characters (same account) in the top 100.

Do you think this is fair? I'm not going to name any names but we have many people with a char on primal, aether and chaos.

I don't think that this is fair to other players trying to just make it to top 100.

You got people with a high skill level with 2-3 chars in the top 100 or 1 char with top 100 on each different datacenter.

I don't know how SE should fix this but one suggestion I would make is that feast ratings should be account wide. It will take your char with the highest rating and use that for your final placement. Also the rewards should be account wide as well. So that people aren't punished too harshly for playing alt characters. Fair or am I just whining?

No more Dave's alts on Chaos??? : plsno :

Dan please.

I could agree to max 1 char pr datacenter. Making it account wide seems a bit strict.

You're just whining. It's common practice in every competitive format to have the same people compete under different identities for the prize money.
Neil Robertson, Judd Trump and Ronnie O'sullivan are actually just Mark Selby in disguise. It's a bit tricky when they have to play each other, but it works!

Dan please.

Why not just make the rewards account bound? So if you qualify for it, you get it no matter how many alts you want to make

broken system is broken thats all im gonna say about this.

Because in certain datacentres its easier to obtain said rewards.

As long as someone can earn the reward, there'd be little reason to go back a second or third time and do the same, thus taking spots others might be able to hold besides, regardless of data center. Sure, that could lead to people simply ranking alts on data centers they're not regularly on, but that would be an entirely different matter to fix.

As it stands, the Feast already needs a lot of fixing anyways.

That's exactly what I'm saying, but allowing people to place top 100 in the same dc multiple times is a little ridiculous.

Why should someone be allowed to have more than 1 char in a top 100 per datacenter? It's not fair to others.

Nah, it's fine as is.

It's so easy to break into the top 100, and even top 10 to a certain degree this season. This is due to the volume of matches played being far more important than win ratios. If someone wants to play three different characters, then they need to upkeep those three different characters while another person would just need to maintain one.

Alts are fine but certain players who just level alts to take away spots with like 4+chars on same dc is meh. Max 2chars per DC would be fine Imo if ya want more sure but at least pay sub for a different account. Imagine #1 would make 7alts just to place them all in top10 would be pretty meh too right?

I agree with this. Being very good doesn't mean you need to get multiple characters in top 100 to take away a top 100 spot from someone else who works hard to try and get their main in.

I'm all supportive for more account wide things in general. Shared mounts, titles, and houses would be amazing, so I would support giving the rewards you get on one char for all your alts (Because my desire for this expands further than just PvP)

They aren't even that good, you'll not see them with 3000 Diamond rating like JP players. They just have a lot of time and do nothing besides PvP. No crafting/gathering/glamour collecting. No dungeons, no main scenario, nothing; if you'll see their screenshots they usually still have a MS quest active a few patches old.
So what do they do? They only do PvP, buuut there's a point when they can't climb any higher and they are stuck in one rating. So to feel further 'progression' all they can do is to create a new char, speedrun to 60 and start The Feast anew, which also ruins matchmaking because the game considers them 'unranked' when their skills are not.
It's detriment to PvP rankings, if not for their 50 alts I would be in Top 100 last season, because #100 had 915 score and I was 910. So yeah, they are hurting other players by multiplying themselves.

I made an alt not to take a spot in top 100 but to play with friends (as well as a larger PvP Community) in a different Data Center. T____T

Agreed completely
