Dear Yoshi & Team: About Current TT Tournament Model

[Espritduo]

SE should take a lesson from this. Next time you introduce a new tournament style event, make the first run of it a testing ground with only middling-tier rewards. If the rewards for this hadn't been so astronomically rare and lucrative, people wouldn't be nearly as up-in-arms about the rampant exploiting. This first tourney should have just had a 10k reward to anyone in the top 20, 20k to the top three, and maybe some annoyingly rare, but not unobtainable, 5-star card as the reward instead. The Cloud Strife card would have been an acceptable first reward, since I doubt anyone has it yet at this early stage, and it would still be there for anyone who wants it someday. This way they work out the inevitable bugs, and no one has to feel like they were cheated out of something truly unique when the inevitable bugs are inevitably exploited.

Congratulations to all the filthy cheaters.

Grekumah, what is being done about this? How much more proof do you need that this tournament was a disaster & legitimate players were robbed?

That Hurts watching it, after spending most of my time farming 72 cards

Honestly, I didn't expect them to completely fix the issue before prizes were released. However, I did expect them to do something... for example removal of the card, and re-distribution of a more levelled MGP prize...

But to actually hand the Lightning card out. I must say, I am blown away.

I don't know what to say. I love this game. I came back specifically for the saucer and was very renewed with the TT game... this is very disappointing.

Unless I am misinterpreting your meaning, they are not actually handing out Lightning cards. What the video demonstrates is someone who specifically made a character to prove that the tournament could be & was abused my many. He deleted the card in order to prevent cheaters/exploiters from obtaining it.

You misinterpreted his meaning. He was just saying they went ahead and handed it out to the winners (most of whom cheated).

But to add my two cents: what the hell SE? Rewarding cheaters? Have a little more respect for your players.

[Curatio_Magus]

I did some minor editing to help clarify it. No, the Lightning card was given out.

That's what blew me away.

[Kalandros]

Yea, this isnt a Lightning Card hand-out at all.
The guy most likely got beaten on his main, dropping 4th or less

He made another character, got enough points to become 2nd place in the end and that alt character doesnt need the lightning card, so he destroyed it while filming it.
