Dear Yoshi & Team: About Current TT Tournament Model

[AryaSpark]

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

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.

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?

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...

WHAT?!?!

The only players currently looking forward to "trying to obtain those cards" are the scummy win-traders who have nothing better to do with their time. Extremely poor reasoning. The tournament rewards should have been removed the moment mass win-trading became common in TT - aka straight away. Rewarding cheaters is the worse thing you can do.

for real? you mean all those players putting in effort aka. cheating? Just stop it altogether, no warning no nothing, just. stop. it. then restart the cycle with the changes done in 2.55, those that want the cards legitimately can surely wait another 2-3 weeks for another try to get lightning and then after 4-5 weeks the other tournaments start. at least dont let those cheating guys get the card and the TON (!!) of MGP. even if win trading is not against any rules set up by the game and thus the devs at this point its still a cheap way to win, this is by no means a tournament but a competition by those that have enough time on their hands getting htose others 15 players with 14 wins that will let them win the last game to get max credits. i think this falls into the same category as players using an unintended mechanic in a raid to win it, you punished those and put a stop to it. I dont want you to punish ppl that "worked" their way up the last tournament, but at least make it stop.

The MOST unfair thing about this system is the rare card rewards being awarded to only MAYBE 3 players on the entire server every few weeks. I understand that they are supposed to be rare, but this is pushing it a bit too far, because the more players on your server, the less likely chance that the people who really want those cards have of getting them. That chance which is now none to none. All other Dissidia cards except for those tournament only ones, are entirely obtainable and I've seen many people with them. These ones, it's like they may as well not even exist. It's a huge imbalance and I don't like it ]:
Maybe just change the top 3 prizes to tonnes of GP, while the top 20 can randomly get the cards. That would be a little more fair. :3
Other than that, I really love Triple Triad and I enjoy it greatly!

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.
