Dear Yoshi & Team: About Current TT Tournament Model

[Snugglebutt]

Greetings,

We've been reading over all your feedback regarding Triple Triad tournaments and sharing all of it with the development team. They would like to look into adjusting future Triple Triad tournament rules based on suggestions and feedback.

The rules are not the problem the mechanics are, specifically the allowing of players to pick their own opponents...that above all else needs to change. I think almost everyone would be happy (except those who's only interest in the tournament is selling wins) if had three tiers of the tournament, 1 star, 2 star and 3 star decks and make the 'game' select player opponents based on which tier they are taking part in and not let the players pick their own.

Most important thing is remove option of players choosing their own opponents.

Here is what I would do...first and foremost remove the ability for players to choose their own opponents. That is the only way to stop the win buying going on which should not be happening in any tournaments, whether you do that through a roulette system or whatever I don't care as long as you remove the option for players to pick their own opponents.

I would make the tiers something like this...

Tier 1 (The 60+ card category)

First prize for top 3 is the legendary/collector cards + 150,000MGP, second prize for top 4-10 being 10 gold card packs + 100,000MGP, third prize for top 11-20 being 10 silver card packs + 50,000MGP followed by fourth prize for ranked 21-50 which is 10 bronze pack cards + 10,000MGP, the rest get 1000MGP perhaps for taking part provided play all 15 matches in a tournament.

Tier 2 (The 30 to 59 card category)

First prize for top 3 is 100,000MGP, second prize for top 4-10 being 10 gold card packs + 50,000MGP, third prize for top 11-20 being 10 silver card packs + 25,000MGP followed by fourth prize for ranked 21-50 which is 10 bronze pack cards + 5,000MGP, the rest get 1000MGP perhaps for taking part provided play all 15 matches in a tournament.

Tier 3 (The 1 to 29 card category)

First prize for top 3 is 50,000MGP, second prize for top 4-10 being 10 gold card packs + 25,000MGP, third prize for top 11-20 being 10 silver card packs + 15,000MGP followed by fourth prize for ranked 21-50 which is 10 bronze pack cards + 3,000MGP, the rest get 1000MGP perhaps for taking part provided play all 15 matches in a tournament.

So only those who farmed 60 cards gets the right to have a chance to get a legendary card?

No that's a bit unfair especially with how someone can make a deck with the under 60 limit beat someone with over 60 cards especially with the first tourny being All Open and plus rule, what we need is something like the elo system which will sort you into tiers based off your previous experience in tournaments therefore people will be better suited against their opponents and still have a good chance at a collectors card without having to rely on rng bull to get to 60 cards.

It is not unfair at all, they are legendary/collector cards first and foremost so anyone who actually cares a lot about collecting cards would try to get enough to take part in that category in the first place plus the main reason I did not put that in all three tiers is to stop people abusing the system by making quick and easy lvl 15 alts (which takes only a couple hours to do) and spamming the tournament over and over in the lowest tier for the legendary/collector card.

There would be no point fixing the buying wins problem if replace that problem with another kind of problem which is the making alt quick characters spamming the lowest tier for the same level of reward as the highest tier top prize gets. By keeping it MGP+card pack related for the lower tiers that would help them build up a nice size deck through buying and winning of the B/S/G packs so that in the next tournament they would be closer to the top tier and by proxy their chances of the legendary/collector cards through hard work and not through abusing the system whether that is from buying wins or making many quick lvl 15 alts and spamming the lowest tier for the highest tier top prize.

What I am trying to get at is the fact a skilled player stuck with the under 60 card limit could beat someone with the over 60 card limit, it should not be how much you are willing to do the mindnumbing grind to get to 60 cards but how skilled you are which decides which bracket you belong to,I didn't say give the lower brackets the collectors cards I said don't hide the bracket behind RNG bull because there are some people (like me) who have reached the point where to get the 60 they need to grind endlessly on npcs with horrible drop rate or be super lucky.
Actually I mean how dare you say that because I have under 60 cards I don't care about collecting the cards -grumble grumble rng bull grumble grumble-
