I'm not asking you to care, I'm telling you what's sensible... You've been here for 1 GST so I'm not sure if you're really in a position to speak about previous ones.

Dude it's a tournament just like any other game. It's not a complicated nor complex topic whatsoever. I've played this game for far too long and it doesn't take much to understand the simplistic concepts of this game. If you know how to count to 10 then you basically meet the minimum requirements to understand everything on Graal.
|
Like I've said, the reality is that (regardless of if it's the current system or a rating system) the leaderboard will primarily be decided by:
-People sparring "carefully" on their tag
-People making temporary recruits to their tag
|
I understand what is wrong with the leaderboard, I just disagree with the auto seeding suggestion you made. I also disagree with your weird logic of "effectively saying rant"... was very weird.
|
That completely defeats the purpose of seeding... There's no arguing against that, every guild does it because they don't want to have to grind out 100 spars against garbage guilds, it isn't fun. Why do people from your guild spar at Belle? Because they want quality spars against good guilds? What guilds are they? The ones I previously mentioned, which are guaranteed to qualify every single GST...
|
And they ultimately do qualify in the end, it doesn't even take much work to get seeded (using the old board). My guild literally did it in just a weekend basically last season.
You'll absolutely hate my suggestion- I think it should be harder to qualify. I won't go into the details though because you'd probably have an aneurysm.
|
You're acting as if it's being suggested that only previous GST winners can enter GSTs, it's seeding. Seeding is literally irrelevant because of how skewed and inaccurate it is (again, because of these pre-existing systems). I don't care if my guild is seeded #1 or seeded #32, it wouldn't matter. The point is that the quality of sparring that happens in the GS rooms at the arena are a joke and it does nothing but promote unhealthy guild activity.
|
First - seeding is not irrelevant. It's irrelevant to you but to some other people they actually do care (PS- I don't care but I know others that do). What needs to be fixed is the leaderboard.
What I'm saying is your concept of using GSTs wins as some excuse to potentially get auto seeded
in any kind of way is just an absolutely terrible idea. You have a lot of good ideas but I do not like that idea at all and I explained why in my other post in a lot of detail. I'm not just saying it to disagree with you, I just don't like the idea and hope it's never considered... ever.
The current leaderboard system should be improved,
agreed. Current leaderboard can be annoying...
sure. I understand you're frustrated with having to work during the season to get placement but believe it or not there is a large # of players outside of the current sparring hivemind and not just people who post on this forum/guilds you care about -- and really guild sparring should appeal to everyone even if they suck.
|
Literally nothing is healthy or fun about that line of gameplay. It's a boring chore. I'd rather be seeded #32 through an auto-qualification than be seeded #1 through spending hours sparring noob guilds or guilds that are temporarily recruiting members at the arena. Those hours of timesink GSing could instead be invested in quality GSing.

Again, I absolutely do not like this idea in any shape or form.
