Broken Triple Triad Competition System

[Xorianne]

I am on Tonberry and every single tournament, a guy named Jin Seven will always come top place with max 40/40 wins and I am sure those of you from other servers must have experience something similar as well. It is clear that these "top players" did not get there by skill, but by cheating. I have seen players paying other players to lose to them and also those who (may) have different accounts to cheat as well. These players are often playing against the same character every tournament (eg Jin Seven always play against the same guy at reset every week, getting all wins and top rank). This system is BROKEN to say the least and its really unfair for those of us who want a fair go.

Needless to say, many people will also try to cheat because its the only way to get the platinum cards and lots of MGP every tournament.

So yes, PLEASE FIX IT OR REMOVE THE TOURNAMENTS ALTOGETHER BECAUSE THERE IS NO POINT OF HAVING ONE IF CHEATERS AND EXPLOITERS ARE GOING TO COME FIRST PLACE EVERYTIME!!!

Assume you are not aware, but the tournament system has been like this ever since it was introduced, ie a complete joke. it's quite worrying how SE did not consider it would turn out this way when they introduced it, a scoring system where you can choose your opponents and is largely swayed by how early after reset you play your matches, rather than, err I don't know, who is actually a batter card player

tbh I don't know anyone that actually bothers with it any more

It's very telling what the devs think since they nerfed how many points you can score from NPCs in order to "encourage" people to play with others.

I have only been playing for about 4 months or so so I don't know how long this has been going on for. But all in all, it is really broken and my main aim is to raise awareness about this so that SE MAY do something about it because there is just no point in playing triple triad competition at the moment because the top winners almost always have complete win every single tournament.

So yes, the more people agree and discuss with this post, the better. Hopefully SE will see that 'a lot' of people are really upset and annoy with this broken system and do something about it.

What I think is absolutely pathetic also is just how many points the feeder accounts get for losing. The current tournament I just finished my matches for so far has one win trading duo. I won 42 of 50 matches against NPC's because I'm bad and just started to get in to triple triad. The losing account with 0 wins out of 50 matches has 97 points less than me. Zero wins got them over 3,000 points... Two people got less points for winning 32/50 and 28/50 of their matches. You're not rewarding people for playing others you're rewarding players for cheating and taking the easy way. It is obvious that win trading can't or won't be fixed so lets at least try to make something better and greatly reduce the points for losing in player vs. player matches similar to vs. NPC losses.

Alas, it has been broken from the start. And people have been pointing this out to no response since then too.

On the bright side one can pretty easily earn 2 or 3 packs of cards per tourney to get a shot at the four cards locked in there. Over the last year I've gotten 3/4 of them, and three dupes also. Works out to 6/60 drop, or a 1:10 chance. Not too shabby.

People still do TT tournaments?

Seriously this hasn't been fixed yet? I've been gone for 14months..... wtf has yoshi been doing? This was requested by many players near the launch of the tournament... and guess what the dev team were goofing around with that minion rubbish verminion and it turned out trash when they could of fixed the Triple Triad Tourney -_____- They always seem to keep wanting to add more and more instead of trying to fix or improve/update the current content.

What did you expect? Their idea of a challenge for playing against NPCs is to make every new opponent in each patch play with Chaos and/or Random.

My two consolation platinum packs for playing this week coughed up the Lightning card, giving me the last of the four rare cards from the Tourney.

It took 67 packs to get all four cards, and I had four duplicates also. So 8/62 was the hit rate for me on the rare cards. It took me just over a year playing all the Tourneys to do it (I had a few good weeks with four pack rewards).

It feels so very good to know that next Tuesday I can ignore playing the 30-50 matches, and need never grind this again. Free! Huzza!
