    And here's a note, I trade wins with friends because a group of us don't like TT. We still want points for Gold Saucer and TT is just another way to do it. So we trade the wins and get what we need from it.

    In the tournament, if there's a way that people can profit from it, it will be found. Some people want the gameplay element of the tournament like OP and others just want the goods.
    Making an easily exploitable system is SE's fault, yes. Saying it's a "player thing", suggesting that if not for those awful, awful players we wouldn't have this situation is ABSURD. As a developer of an MMO, SE should have more sense than to make things that are easily cheated. You don't make tournaments in the real world where people pick who they play against. It's stupid. The flaws are numerous and obvious.

    If you want, go build a society on the "honor system" and let me know how it works out. Be sure to blame the people and not the system when it fails horrifically.

    If you'll remember, they also didn't want the eternity bands being sold player to player and put people on an honor system and people still sold them. I stand by what I say, if someone can profit, someone will do so. SE should have built around that aspect.
