    Ok, but I at least showed a correlation (not causation but it's at least a small piece of evidence pointing towards t100 motivating people), but you don't even have any correlation, so what evidence are you basing your argument on? Imagination?

    And I like having exclusive rewards that not many people can get. That newbie would either give up or hype himself and say "that's cool, I want an exclusive reward too" and start playing ranked PvP next season, and really do we want people who give up so easily playing ranked anyways? They will just give up after their first bronze match anyways...

I see no reason to give that cesspool more exclusive items.
    I agree but shouldn't the solution be more enforcement of the ToS, not changing the rewards. It's like saying we're going to stop providing free healthcare because 3 or 4 people go to ER every day for no reason. Do you really want to just remove free healthcare? Or more sensibly we can ban those people from going to ER every day or limit the number of ER visits you can get (which in this analogy translates to 1 t100 reward per account, alts don't get any)

    I also don't know which season you played in but I have never heard any datacenter having scripters win traders or griefers in 50% of the matches, it's more like 2-3% (also let's be real the win traders usually only play at 5am when no one can catch them anyways so idk how you're even seeing them so much). The biggest issue in Feast and now CC has always been alts, the leaderboard is like 30% alts sometimes. And those alts are not wintrading either, they are just from very bored veterans who want to show off they can get top 3 with their 3 characters or they enjoy smurfing in lower ranks... If people can only get one t100 reward per account, the alts will probably still exist but now more players can get the reward and not just the same 60 people with alts.
