    I can't believe there's a server that doesn't have the bracket full every time.

    ... that's what the bracket looks like right after a new tournament starts (and also why their post is utterly meaningless). The rest of the server still has nearly a full week to fill out that board.

    That's pretty much the 'best' you'll see the top 2 for the week. Passing that up will take too much effort/friends/alts.

    But considering you're doing that by the same process, even if you're not maxing it out as much as you could, is there really any sense of accomplishment in that?

    I have like 3 5 star cards about 8 4 star cards about 8 or so 3 star cards, a bunch of 2 star cards and a bunch of 1 star cards.

    My deck is 2 stars and one 5 star. I always manage to get the Nidhogg card every time I beat him.

    Also the accomplishment is getting a card I don't have + mgp to add to my 1.1m Holding out if item prices nerf/new items introduced to swing my dick around.

    Lainette at the Rosehouse by Cloudtop plays at night (stops at 2 AM, I missed her window)
    Voracious Vath at Loth ast Vath, idk if he has a window, plays Coeurlregina, Ravana, Iceheart, Alphinaud & Alisaie, Bandersnatch, Estinien. I couldn't get a drop after like 20 wins so I gave up, really easy to beat. (Ascension + Swap)
    Seika in Idyllshire plays with Chaos + Reverse, likely drops are either Crawler, Roundrox, or Poroggo

    Just checked tourney board since i have not done this in forever. People are still getting 6.9k scores immediately.

    How do you legit get a score that high without boosting off people letting you win or w/e?

    I thought maybe most people would have won these things enough to stop caring by now.

    You don't, since it would require more than 30/35 wins against people with similar scores. I just assume people are multiboxing and/or using FCmates to boost themselves. The highest rewards is a pretty decent chunk of MGP and rare cards, so there's some value in it. I didn't even make the board last tourney and still was given 25k MGP and 5 platinum cards, two of which were Nanamo.

    Considering the insane MGP cost of Cloud, Sabotender, and the MGP you have to waste trying to get the rare Gold cards I'm not surprised people are still fixing it. If it didn't require such a timesink I'd probably still do it too since glamz is endgame and MGP has some unique glamz. I think like 250k? was the highest 1st place pot I've seen? and that means best case you need 9 tourney wins occurring every other week and if you might be then trading the other people who help you etc.

    If the only prize for winning was the cards, they would have vanished long ago, and a stream of card collectors would slowly be filtering thru picking up what they needed to pick up for complete collections. But the MGP payout as other note above is what keeps them coming back. No questions. I farmed the Imperial for the 1.2 million coins for cloud and the cactuar cards, and it was 3+ hours a day for about a month, so I can see why people would be willing to "exploit the system" to do the same in a fraction of the time.

    The only real way to fix the tourney is to remove the MGP reward, and limit one from playing if you have the card already. OR let it rot, and make sure the 4 cards that are Tourney rewards can be played for from an NPC somewhere (Put Taru back for the two she had, and add a new one next to Rowena for the other two) which will remove the pressure on fixing the Tourney from the card folks.
