No Tourny Reward fix?

Isn't Lightning just as good as Squall, that you get from 30 cards? Just different stats?

It's better than Squall (I think), its on par with Vaan/Tidus in my opinion though how powerful I think the card is subjective I admit. The stats work out the same as Squall but the position/spread of the stats I like more since once the opponent plays their double A sided card the 7 vs 6 becomes more important, the 9 is more than adequate to handle most other cards and the 7 is more than enough for handling a lot of 3 star cards while Squalls 6 not so much, the 1 is great for when a reverse rule pops up and the (1,7,9,A) I consider more beneficial in plus/same rule matches then having two A's. If go by numbers alone like total then yes power wise it's same as Squall but preference wise I think Lightning is more beneficial/powerful. If had to pick card for a 70 card achievement I would pick Firion or Cecil to fill that role. Lightning I would put at 80 currently or 100 later.

If thats your passion, thats perfectly acceptable, but to ASSUME everyone thats on top cheated their way? Don't whine about the current situation, find ways to fix it and give some constructive feedback.

Very nearly everyone at the top did cheat. While certainly not 100% (across all servers), it does come quite close to ''everyone at the top cheated''

Quoting this again b/c it's so great! IMO it deserves it's own thread. A player legally making SE look like complete idiots deserves it's own thread...

Not sure why you think making SE look like idiots is a good thing, SE already acknowledged from everyone's feedback that there is a major issue with the tournament system and they said are looking into fixing it for future tournaments. The only good thing you should be doing and everyone else is trying to come up with ideas of how to make it better, not trying to make them look like idiots which is just petty and not helping anyone at this stage.

As far as I've seen, there was like 1 post from them saying 'Yeah, we're looking into it...' w/o any type of real apology. And yes, green-lighting something that lets that youtube exist deserves an apology.

The more noise made about this, the more SE is going to want to shut ppl up.

Almost every single 'this is how I think the tourney should be' is a better idea that what they made. So take your pick...

I don't get paid to make their game. I pay for them to not make laughably poor mechanics in the game.

Your original comment did nothing good, helped no-one, not even SE or the rest of the player base. They already said trying to fix it for future ones...it was like metaphorically you saw an old lady fall down in the street and stood there and laughed saying "stupid old lady". You never even offered any suggestion as to how to fix the situation in the comment so it would be like in previous example you never even said to the old lady to look where shes walking or helped her get back on her feet, you just laughed, pointed and called her stupid. How about you help the rest of us come up with better ideas of making the tournament better for all instead of just calling SE stupid. If you cannot come up with any suggestions then take part and discuss other peoples, helping improve theirs perhaps. SE is going to probably look at these threads and take on board suggestions so maybe put some out there instead of just pointing and laughing a them.

So SE is as helpless as a "stupid old lady"? Now who's pettily insulting SE???

And spare me the 'what have you done to fix this' nonsense. I don't have to be part of fixing it. It's not my job. Sending SE money every month is my job.

Anyways, we have one week to see what SE will do ...which I don't understand why there isn't another 'tourney' this week??? It's not like the game is going to get flooded with MGP and Cards if it's a weekly tourney...

I honestly don't expect SE to make any sweeping changes at this point. The damage has been done. That said, the very least they could do is make a formal public apology & acknowledge how big of a mess this was. Its a big deal. The raid equivalent of something like this would be if a brand new raid was released (lets say Alexander) & players found a way to circumvent the encounter, were rewarded for it, & then the loot they acquired was not available to anyone else in the game. If this happened, how would it be received? People would be outraged & probably cancel subs. So quit sweeping it under the carpet SE, own up to it, apologize to the community & find a way to make it up to us.

The biggest problem with the Lightning card being a tournament prize, in my opinion, is that it makes it too extremely rare for what it is. So we have four prize cards, right? Lightning was this past week, no tournament this week, Cecil is next week, then no tournament, then another card, then no tournament, then another card, then no tournament, and then we finally get back to Lightning. So if that assumption is correct, and my quick count of weeks on my calendar is correct, then the tournament starting April 28 will be the next chance for Lightning. That's almost two months before anyone can even have a chance to get it, and then only three people can get it.

I like the idea mentioned about of having more tournaments.
