Restricting rewards for alts in top 100 for the Feast.

2. I have an alt, I can PvP with it to prevent other people from getting the glamour.

This is what is bothering me a lot. There are people who really do it because they know they're good and just go in top 100 with it to show how good they are and they don't want others to get the rewards.

2 sounds like a witch hunt honestly. What kind of immature, no life would make/enter an alt strictly for this purpose? I know of several ppl with alts in Feast and none of them think this way. They might not be explicitly thinking about how their alts are taking away spots from other potential players but they definitely aren't making alts for the sole purpose of intentionally seeking to do something as petty and pathetic as actively preventing others from getting rewards.

100% agreed.

I can understand why people would want to queue up with an alt to test the waters. It's like having a throw away character for that purpose. I can understand wanting new gear for an alt that looks snazzy. I can understand wanting to play on alternate jobs that one avi might not have unlocked. I can even understand wanting to play anonymously without any attached stigmas or expectations from a previous character that may or may not be well known on your server/data center. I cannot understand playing purely for the vindictive sake of screwing over other people from getting in the top 100. I don't think I've met anyone who's queued with an alt for that purpose, or had that even cross their mind when they do it.

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 don't have a problem with playing with new players, but I can understand why higher ranked players complain about getting slotted with new players.

Like I said, winning is more fun than losing. No one joins a competition with the intent of getting their ass handed to them every single match. There's nothing fun about that. When you see the same people making the same mistakes over and over and over, it's not unreasonable to get a little frustrated. The matchmaking and point scaling are also problems, because it makes ranking up a statistical improbability unless you do a selective queue or just stop queuing entirely when you reach a half-decent rank. Silver rank (and gold, I'm told) is like hitting a brick wall if you queue regularly. Consecutive losses is a high probability because of the way matchmaking works, so people are bound to get a little pissy, especially if they have a competitive personality.

I said this last season that it was pretty fked up for people to take spots away from other actual players in the top 100 using alts but this season more than last I actually understand why they do it.

Because of match making the quality of your teammates rises the lower you are ranked and therefore you have far less stressful games, a higher winrate (assuming you yourself are at least a competent player), and generally overall less incompetent teammates than when you reach 800+. Its also very important now compared to last season to know exactly when to queue in order to rank up and having alts allows you to test people in queues by sacrificing the rank on the alt while preserving the one on your main. The people using alts dont care as much about getting multiple sets of the gear (beyond their main) as they do really about playing matches that are competitive and fun most times.

And honestly speaking the luster on that glamour gear wears off so fast, no one cares one way or another whether you have it nor does anyone care about you showing it off since most ppl wont even know what the gear is lol. When I got the glamour last season it was cool for like a day or 2 and then its like "meh this isnt really anything special why did i even care about this in the first place?".

People using alts because it's the only way to enjoy the feast without risking losing points. It's because of the terrible match making we have this season.

The current situation is a byproduct of what se implement in match making.

If alts are banned, then say goodbye to feast. No one will risk their points once they get to a good spot in the top 100. Pretty much afk to season 3.

This. PvP here is dead enough without discouraging people for glamour reasons.

But that just makes it worse.

Not really, a lot of silver people still play hoping to get in top 100 and so do gold people that want platinum. The only people that are afk are those who have alts.

There are a lot of alts on Primal DC as well. Especially in the top 50 of the top 100.
I really don't see any way to fix this atm since people play their alts if their mains are in a high ranking.

I know people that are leveling 3rd alts now (it takes 2 weeks) I assume season 3 will be loaded with alts if things don't change.
