Thoughts on the tournament! (Merged Threads)

What this tournament tells me is that a great number of players hoarded ally points and/or galactic war tokens. I did not, so my tournament is pretty much a "sit on the sidelines and watch" experience. I'm guessing I'm not alone, but I suppose it's only fair considering the "auction" nature of the last tournament.
Anyway, my point is ... lesson learned! A mistake I will not make again.

As I understand the rules It will still be possible to temporary remove Mods from your Defense Squad, Making them allot weaker.
Two Fixes:
1- Remove the option to refresh Targets.
2- Do not allow players to change Mods for Toons used for Defense.
3- As it should be possible to catch players doing this, Actually punish (I know bizarre concept) players trying to Game the system.
IMO, gimping yourself to give an Allie an easy battle is not "good teamwork". If this crap was pulled in any RealWorld Event, those doing so would face consequences.....

Mods most likely won't be.
Yes but mods may not be.
But we don't know they could be locked for the defense team, and not for the player. So when you see a team in the tournament the defense team is always static.
Second they also talked about fixing matching and this could be part of the fix that wouldn't allow 2 players to consistently attack back and forth.
I just wanted to say that because we don't know all the details and they could have thought of it.
We can hope that this means people won't be able to just collude off the same person back to back.
@Stormy Dude, they are letting you use and talk to a Tinder account of a female gamer for just 150 crystals a message. I don't know where this collusion thing comes from unless she's into that kind of thing.
( On a serious note, do what I did and stalk teams and feed off them. There is nothing better in this world then abusing a mechanic)
For this tournament, I will largely be forced to sit it out since I had recently just used up all of my Ally Points! Crazy that EA would do this. They made mad money off the last tournament and now they aren't going to make any and only the people that saved ally points for a long time will do well. I know one person with 250K Ally Points Saved and another with 216K Ally points. I have just over 5K! It will be impossible for me to compete. Last time I finished 9th and got a 4* Shoretrooper. This time, I will be dead last it seems and get nothing. If I sit this tournament out completely and just save my ally points while everyone uses theirs, maybe I will be able to compete the next time EA pulls this stunt.
No more crystal craziness.
I only have 5000 ally points, so i ll probably win nothing in the first tournament, but it will level out soon
theyll prolly allow you to buy ally points with crystals..
lol
Ok. I was being naive again.
And you will be able to buy a ally pack. For £80 for 5k points and jar jar binks shards.
Oh, I like this!
Not quite, you will still have rank visible, and that's just enough for the coordinated parties. And you can easily find out if you are in the same shard that way, if not, there is just another hundred of your Team Instinct guildies out there to hassle the game with..
Btw, I got your Phil Mitchell joke hobnob, it was funny.
Tournament will be set to 4 days with the first day being the Setup day. Each player will have to set their 6 Total teams (1 Defense and 5 Offense). The following 3 days will be match-up days. Day 1 you face 1 person, day 2 you face a different person, day 3 you face final person.
Characters will have to have mods set on Setup Day and cannot be moved until Entire Tournament is over.
QUALIFICATIONS:
Minimum of 30 Characters
Defensive squad - First 5 characters you choose. These characters cannot be used on the offensive side.
Offense/Battle 1 - Select 5 characters. Cannot be used more than once per day
Offense/Battle 2 - Select next 5 characters. Again cannot be used more than once per day.
Offense/Battle 3 - Select next 5 characters. Again cannot be used more than once per day.
Same for Offense 4 and 5.
Everyone will start in Bracket 4 with players being in certain sections based on player level and # of 7 Star characters and gear etc..
Since this cannot be live PVP, you face the same player on that day until you either win 3 or lose 3. This means if (Battle Day 1) my match up is against XXX. Both XXX and I win 3 rounds we both move on to the next Bracket.
Everyone who lost 3 rounds against their matchup would stay in Bracket 4 while the winners move to Bracket 3.
REWARDS - At the end of the overall tournament.
The rewards last time were Shoretrooper shards and gear etc. Rewards could be something like this below:
Bracket 1 - Won all 3 days - Receives Full 7* Shoretrooper 3 full pieces of Raid gear, credits etc.
Bracket 2 - Won 2 out of 3 days - Receives 5 * Shoretrooper, 2 Full pieces of raid gear and salvage gear, credits etc.
Bracket 3 - Won 1 out of 3 days - Receives 3 * Shoretrooper, 1 full piece of raid gear and salvage gear
Bracket 4 - Won 0 out of 3 days - Receives same as Bracket 3 except no Shoretrooper shards.
In my Opinion, this will help the tournament be balanced and fair by limiting the number of attacks because of no refreshes with crystals or Ally coins or anything. Enabling refreshes at all still won't be fair. There are people with hundreds of thousands of Ally points while some have a mere 5000 or less.
My idea will be rewarding the large rosters because some people may have to go into Battle 4 or 5 and will need those 21 -25th or 26th - 30th characters to help win and move them to the next bracket.
Everyone please let me know your thoughts and if you like it give it a +1
@EA_Jesse
The whales have lots of ally points and GW tokens banked, first place is about 4x where I stopped after 4 hrs so I'm guessing they spent upwards of 250k or more.
Should be a lot better next time but by then the whales already have him to 7* anyway and give the second tier people a good shot. The result would probably would of been the same if it were still crystals but definitely a change for the better, it just would of been a lot better if they used this system from the start.
This was never said, CG didn't say it won't return.
Also I believe they were referring to Shoretrooper and not the tournament itself
