Dear Yoshi & Team: About Current TT Tournament Model

[Zanarken]

Ready your friends, ready your alts, ready your gil. It's almost time again.

Is SE really going to host another tournament using the existing rules prior to making adjustments? Considering how poorly the first tournament was received I can't imagine why they would want to repeat the same mistakes.

They will do it.
The "fix" will occur in the next patch which will be after the next tournament is played.
So the Cecil card goes to another cheat.

How is this acceptable? This would never be tolerated if it impacted the raiding community. Imagine if the new Alexander raid became available, the first static to enter found a way to circumvent it, then were rewarded with exclusive loot that no one else on the server could obtain. Then were allowed to keep said loot. That is exactly what is going on here. Seriously, just cancel the upcoming tournament SE. Its what you should have done with the first tournament on day 1, when reports from every server suggested match fixing/buying wins took place. Hosting a second tournament under the same conditions will only further damage the Triple Triad community. Anyone who possesses a Lightning Card is treated with disdain as there is a strong likelihood it was obtained through dishonorable means. Do not do the same with the Cecil card.

It's already happening. Can't beat them, become them.

You can't beat gil sellers, either. Are you going to start selling gil as well?

Just because someone else is rolling in the muck doesn't mean you need to get dirty as well. Cecil cards will come again and again and again. Your character and reputation, on the other hand, can only suffer so much.

Hopefully, this will be the last time that this sort of behavior will be going on. It all depends entirely on what changes are coming on the 31st.

Even if you become a gil seller you still get tells from other gil sellers anyway. Your example is a bit far fetched.

You need to get dirty to win it, especially with this kind of system. And you're right, Cecil, Lightning and all the other cards will come back again and again so why get mad over something you can't get now but can get later.

Character reputation over tournament cards... Hehehe that's cute.

[Madigari]

Why cheat over something you can't get now, but could get legitimately later? There's absolutely no point to sullying your reptuation.

I personally know of at least two people on my server alone that are regarded poorly (shouted about, warned about in Triple Triad linkshells, etc.) because they solicited people to throw matches for them, and I barely interact with other people on my server. I don't know why you think it's so far-fetched that people who show poor sportsmanship would suffer a backlash for it, especially when that poor sportsmanship garnered them a very exclusive prize that they didn't ethically earn.

It's not like these matches are Duty Finder, where you probably won't see the people in question ever again. They're all from your own server.

Cecil cards will come again and again and again.

Only 3 cards every 2 months, Or one chance at a card every 2 months if you will.
