Verminion Tournament Points Calculations

[Mayoyama]

I wish to address a long time flaw in the way in which Verminion calculates its tournament points (TT tournament is equally as disgusting also but that one seems to be flogging a dead horse).

Currently, tournament points are awarded based on the RP the losing player has in comparison to the winner. This means that people who have earnt their RP outside of the tournament are immediately penalised against newer players who have next to nothing for RP.

For example, I played against my friend in a tournament match recently who hasn't played a tournament or RP match before (only friendly games). They managed to beat me in a game and achieved 92 points. However, when I then beat them in the next game, I won a measly 30 point for the match.

I understand that they may have originally intended for Verminion to be this huge success (like feast) with ranking etc but it was rather DoA (at least on Behemoth) and so finding tournament opponents who are of a similar RP to me to play in tournaments simply isnt likely to occur that often; and so I end up playing with friends with little to no experience but getting next to no tournament points, only to see others on the board with far fewer wins but an enormous amount of tournament points, likely because they exploited the point I mentioned above

The only thing I can suggest is to lessen the amount of points gained the greater the gap in RP for both players involved to prevent the farming of inexperienced players by experienced ones and the boosting of low ranked players by high ranked ones. That might just favour win traders who keep their RP close together though.
