Dance - Can you please start a feedback thread for the new July tourneys?

View PostHoneyRider, on Jul 14 2016 - 12:33, said: I was one of the ones that posted in your original thread of Changes to July tourneys that we should wait and see what WG had to offer before jumping on the Complain bandwagon. Now that we seen two of the new tourneys - Weekly 5v5 and Summer play, I have the following to comment:   Weekly 5v5 vs Skirmish 1. 2 hours per night for 5 nights in a row is a awful lot to ask for a smaller reward than Skirmishes.  Skirmishes were perfect for 3 nights of 2 hour play then a half hour of playoffs for 3 days. 2. The uber teams that represent the top1% of server population will no doubt be in the place to capture 90% of the gold on offer since the payouts for 5000 to 1000 encompass the top 25% of the entries.  Skirmishes at least had the opportunity for the average to above average player to place in the top 30% for the 3 days of group stages which meant at least 1500 day money.  Now these same teams can only hope for best of 500 gold for 2 more days of play.   Summer Play 1. Tournament is over a 14 day time frame so can't commit to any other form of team play 2. No gold pay out for group stages at all - not attractive to any of my clan callers 3. All of the gold payout will now go to the top 1% of players on this server as they are the ones who consistently take home 1 to 4th and usually 5th to 8th as well.   Again - I am not disparaging anyone for being a good tanker and belonging to the top 1% on this server but WG - you MUST find a way to reach the other 99% of us.   So far - the best you have come up with is the Skirmish format.  even with moving more of the gold to playoffs than you had a couple of years ago, AT LEAST the uber tankers couldn't hog more than the top 30% of the field leaving a few gold crumbs for the rest of us placing in 31% to 50%   Until WG comes up with some kind of tourney based on seeding by skill level (God forbid the unicorns having to play each OTHER rather than seal clubbing to the gold), please bring the last weekly Skirmish format back for August. 

dance210: Hi HoneyRider,   Technically, part of the reason I put up a forum post for the tournaments is to receive feedback (the other reasons are for players to talk about tanks, find teams/teammates or for me to make announcements if something breaks). Having a separate feedback thread could be useful, but I would be looking for very specific feedback, mostly focused on tournament format. Things like time of day, single vs. multi-day tournaments, top heavy prizing to few teams vs. paying out less gold to many teams are useful and can be used. I'm not sure if that would be more useful, or if it would simply turn into a discussion about not earning enough gold.   The Summer Play tournament is intended to be more competitive, with the top teams earning the top prizes and the other teams still receiving something for their time. Tournaments are (or at least should be) about more than just gold - it should be about competitive play and working together. It's easier to win a prize in the 1v1 Throwdown and Platournaments - yes, the prize is smaller but so is the effort involved in earning that prize.   As for the Skirmish format....I'm assuming you're talking the most recent version, and not the original 64-team single elimination playoff? What exactly about that format did you like...the prizing or the group stage into playoffs?
