Dev blog: New Feast rewards

[Alleo]

put in the effort and you'll realize its not as hard or impossible as you think it is.

But effort is not enough..if only 100 people from a whole datacenter will get it. You can have 200 people that put in a huge amount of effort, time and are skilled and yet only 100 of them will get it. At the same time some of those in the top 100 just do a lot at the beginning and then stop doing any matches anymore to sit on their position since there is no decay and like other people already wrote you kinda just need enough time...because you might still land before someone with a worse win ratio just because you had enough time..

I would say the main reason for that is that it's the only mode that was explicitly created to be competitive with it's own limited time competitions, hence it features a competitive reward structure.

How can you call something competitive if there is still win trading, cheating and no rank decay? How can it be truly competitive if there is no max amount of playable matches like TT Tournaments? Right now you will get there if you have enough time at your hand (and yes skill is a factor too) and can still be 100 even if someone else has a way bigger win ratio than you. I know of no competition in the real world where the guy with simply more matches will win instead of the one that won the most. As long as these things are still there I cant just accept this as any kind of e-sports.

My solution:

-Introduce a rank decay so that people cant just sit on their wins all the time or/and
-Introduce a maxium amount of matches and the top will only be those that win the most of them
-Give the mount to the top first but make them achieveable with the new currency for others. This can take some time to get and people might need to still rank high to have a chance but this would at least take some of the limits of and make it more fair.

This will still gave the top 100 the exclusivity of having it first but does not demotivate the rest of the playerbase..this might make the feast alive again because people would now be able to work towards the mount on their own pace and make it not something that took work, time and budget for only a really small amount of people..
