Restricting rewards for alts in top 100 for the Feast.

[Makuro]

I couldn't agree more.

I understand that if someone is good on Feast and knows how to read good queues they'll be able to put multiple characters in a single Datacenter top 100. But I also understand that this is rather unfair and removes other player's chances to get the top 100 while ruining even more our already broken Match Making.

Well, for players who won it in season 1, wouldnt it be questionable why they are in the ranking for season 2 since season 2 and 1 rewards are the same?

They'll be different. And then they'd cycle somehow or just keep changing for next seasons.

This is just an obvious one but there's like 10 or more alts in top 100 atm.

SE posted this directly to us about a month ago:

Season Two Rewards
Some players were wondering if the rewards for Season Two of The Feast are going to be the exact same as the first season as we used the same image on the ranking page. The rewards for Season Two will be another full set of gear, and the design will be somewhat different from the first season. The types of rewards rewarded to the players will be changed every two seasons, as we felt having one type of reward only for one season wouldn’t allow a larger group of players to obtain them. Using current example, this means we have two rewards with full sets of gear for season one and two, and a different type of reward for season three and four, and so forth.

Further, the top end positions of the top 100 also carry their own independent rewards (such as the trophy for being top dog).

That said, even if there weren't any new rewards, it's not like the previous top 100 wouldn't have other reasons to play. Plain old fun would be one I could think of right off the top of my head. A lot of the top players just queue for PvP because they enjoy it. Winning is more fun than losing, so it follows that they would still want to rank up, regardless of if the rewards are still the same.

Someone with alt said they just don't want other people to get rewards so their lone wolf set (which they already have from season 1) would remain rare and unobtainable for general population. Also I've personally seen one of these bard alts in our party just saying 'afk' at start and sitting, checked lodestone and they were with a healer of opposite team in the same FC. So that also opens a lot of opportunities for open or hidden wintrading to increase their main's ratings.

I agree with this 100% as there is someone on my server who has him and his alt at the top 100 atm and he did it last time for 1st season. why is this even a thing and i know a couple of others who do the same, even with the same name just starting with different letters. I say if this was to happen at least give a warning stating that they already have a character doing rankings and if they wish to do ranking on another character the current rank of the other will be reset to 0 winrate and all.

Its fine if some of the top 100 from the previous season is playing the feast for the fun of it and whatnot, they shouldn't complain about newer players trying to get into the feast or trying to rank up.

I have absolutely no problem with them playing but its mostly the same people from the previous season making alts over again, I can understand wanting new rewards for their main but why would they want it on their alt ?

There are two reasonings that come for that:
1. I have and alt, I know I'm capable so I want the pretty gear on my other existing character as well.
2. I have an alt, I can PvP with it to prevent other people from getting the glamour.

For the first, leave them be. They are in their right of doing so. It becomes a bit unfair in the case the player is good because they'll pretty much breakthrough ranks and maybe make able that the parties of you get matched with your lower ranked alt stomp your opposing teams and sometimes boosting not so good players' rank together. But thats not their fault, its the matchmaking's fault.
In the second case they can abuse of the poor matchmaking with a lower ranked alt to make sure he occupies more places on the top 100 list and unless a player openly states the second reasoning in game or in forums, I don't think SE can punish them. Sadly.

This discussion only reflects the Feast comunity toxicity (me included).
