Oh my God, the Excalibur board just screams exploit :O

And that's exactly why I just sat this one out.

From those scores posted it is interesting to see top 10 leader spread out across the worlds..

Excalibur highest score was 3rd place but has 6 out of the 10 top spots.

I would not be surprised if we scores of 2000-2100+ unless this is patched. The lightning card really should have been awarded to the top 20 players. Not top 3.

2: 2008 - Midgardsormr

At this point that would just give the cheaters more cards. On Zodiark nearly all of the top 10 gained their score that way.
The only reason I managed to get second place was because as a smaller server its apparently harder for them to find people capable of winning enough. (apparently 1 draw against a player and 14 wins against Elmer gives a respectable score)

When the tournament was most active early on, and people werent cheating yet..third highest at the time ended up being 16th or something in the end.

The problem is the exclusive reward and broken system that people can abuse so easily. Even a matchmaking one can be abused by waiting till it dies down and then doing it while its at its lowest queueing against each other.
