Chocobo Racing Tournament?

[Dyvid]

How come this isn't a thing?

Honestly, untill SE fixes tournaments, i'll skip on this. TT is fixed, Someone offered me 1kk yesterday to lose in the new vermillion thingy? Not sure how that works not even touched it yet, told him to f' off in any case.
But if its indeed the same as TT and they just threw it in like that.

I'll pass for sure.

I'm not sure how TT is fixed. There is basically no way to win first without trading. It's only "fixed" in that a lot of people already got their card so they don't bother.

Sorry i ment fixed as people losing on purpose i.e selling/trading wins.

And pretty much the same people are still on the list on my server every single time. And regardless if people slowly stop doing it now or not. It should never been accepted by SE.

It'd be more difficult to implement since everyone's chocobos have various levels and there'd be some cases of unfair matches.

I'm not sure if players would like this, but a selection of "tournament-sanctioned chocobos" could bypass this.

It would have to be incredibly incentivized to get eight people in there at once without long queues. That's really the only way it would work because anything less than eight people and it's TT/LoV cheat-fest.

I just figured since it's DF based it would be harder to win trade than say TT.

it's not really duty finder based. only people of your own server are matched with you. and it gets worse: you have to be at the chocobo square. so... you can take a look around. and if there is nobody else than you and your win trading partner there will be nobody else than you in the race too.

but it will be harder because of the NPC racers x)

I think you hit the nail on the head with the current system of Gold Saucer DF. I think SE needs to think careful about expanding Verminion and Chocobo Racing to Data Center DF and able to queue anywhere.
