Dear Yoshi & Team: About Current TT Tournament Model

[CompSci88]

Cactuar.

2nd and 3rd place: 19 wins out of 20 matches with roughly 1900 points.

1st place: 9 wins out of 20 matches and 2000 points..

Don't worry. None of these guys will win

[Devils_Lawyer]

thats nice i suppose but still getting that much points with so few wins clearly shows how broken the system it :/

[ServerCollaps]

dont forget that draws also give ~90 pts

even a person with 0 wins and 20 draws can reach 1800 pts

if you beat 20 players with some wins you can get up to 2.8k or more

2. Since this tournament uses a system that follows a set rotation schedule, if we were to stop a tournament midway through, it wouldn't be possible to obtain the rare cards that are available from the current tournament until much later, and this would disappoint many players who were looking forward to trying to obtain those cards.

Yeah, 99.9% of the players aren't already disappointed about having no chance at those cards unless they game the system... /eyeroll

[Kalandros]

Yea, its a ridiculous response to give.

"Well for the few players currently exploiting this terrible system we made, it wouldn't be fair"

COME ON, why don't you also promote botting while you're at it.

[Zanarken]

this would disappoint many players who were looking forward to trying to obtain those cards.

As opposed to the thousands of players amongst all servers that are left disappointed because there is no legitimate way they can win without match fixing/cheating for the second tournament in a row? I know your just the messenger Grekumah, so forgive my irritation but this has been a disaster. If this was raid content, it would be hotfixed within hours. This is the equivalent of the New Alexander raid coming out, first static to enter circumvents encounter & acquires exclusive loot that no one else on the server can obtain. Then are permitted to keep said loot. For many TT is an endgame in itself. There are people who are playing FFXIV right now solely for the GS update & addition of TT.

Cant you all think of the cheaters. soo disresptful! they want the cards more than you and are doing everything they can to achieve it. Square aims to not disappoint those that abuse the system!

1. If we were to make adjustments to the active tournament it would affect the development of Patch 2.55 and Heavensward.

What about the useless hotfixes for dyes ? Please.

Is that a joke ? Please, tell me that's a joke...

Nothing wrong with virtually shooting the messenger when the excuse he brings is the higher-ups pooping is his hands....'hey yeah guys, so this is the plan...we're going to leave the easily exploitable system in place so that we don't disappoint those that are going to expolit the system..." Cowards.

See where all your brilliant suggestions went, SnuggleButt?

Well with the random rule in this tournament I managed to get 10 victories, 7 draws and 3 losses all legit matches vs players and Elmer but with the random rule and no plus you can get f**ed up real bad by RNG like vs Rowena or that guy in South Shroud.
Ended up last night 5th in the top20; this morming when I checked before coming to my job I was 13 already, when I get home tonight I won't even be in the top20 ¬_¬


Edit: no, never shoot the messenger; good messengers are hard to come by.
