Did anyone else have the pleasure of seeing new build going to Kun Shao waiting 12 min for your tourney reward pts. and getting #)(#&[email protected]$*)#!!

I had to LOL epic phail!!

Explanation: In game notification "new build" reload GW, went to balth temple saw 100 ppl zranking Kun Shao, clicked on him he says I will get my Tourney Reward Pts. in about 12 min. Like 100 others in AD2 we waited 12 min. then [fizzle snap] "You did not make any predictions or forgot to register" message or what not. 100 ppl in the dist. simultaneously type "Fail" "?" "WTH" I just thought the whole thing was funny as HELL! no reason for post except to point out a really funny experience.

It doesn't matter to me, I listened to PvPers and lost points in the predictions again LOL. That is such a flawed logic but can't do much when those guys don't win! My PvE friends just randomly pick and win all the time, based on QP. *shrug*

I carry the belief that this is the most f*cking retarded way to respond to anything on guru. It isn't cute when that other failure does it either.

Why is it that every month someone starts a "I didn't get my tourny points" thread? The update tonight may not have even been the regular monthly update. Have some patience and WAIT for the update notes to get posted to find out if it's just a bug fix or something else. And THEN, remember your history and realize that tourney points do NOT show up at the same time as the update! (Or should people remember that first? Discuss...)

Pretty pointless thread. Though I wonder why they implemented this system anyway, since it nets roughly 100k a month per account. (indirectly)

Quote:
We monitor the economy closely and found a significant fluctuation in how much gold players had on average after the addition of the M.O.X. quests (which give a 10 platinum reward). If we allowed players to purchase those pages, any character that had completed all three campaigns in Normal Mode would be receiving 18 platinum and 42,750 gold for Hard Mode completion for a grand total of 60,750 gold. In light of how much the economy was affected by just 10 platinum, the inflation caused by giving out 60 platinum per character was too significant for us to allow.

I think the word "epic" should never be used again. Especially when paired up with the word "fail."

You people honestly need to listen to Izzy when he says the build will not be out the first week, I mean HOLY SHIT. Wintersday will be out next week which means it will be a larger update as well so don't get your panties all up in a bunch.

Have patience who really cares.

Actually, it puts in no money, it just moves the money around, either from you selling keys (money from player to player). or selling drops (again player to player)

I checked after the update, and got 55 points. I know they are from November's tourney, since it's the first time I've put in the predictions.

*opps*

I'm mistaken. I made it in time to vote in the 1v1 ladder the previous month. So that 55 points is from October. Doh!

except when you get 100 Tourney Reward Points for doing nothing other than spending 10 minutes plunking names onto a webpage, maybe occassionally reading some Prediction Threads, and each person trades those 100 RPS for 20 Z-Keys

[Z-Keys = open chest = drops = sell = $$$] :P

you dont see the point, no money is added to gw, just an item that can be sold for money, therefore it doesnt contribute to inflation

I'm not sure I get the point either. zkeys are basically money. xunlai tournament = free zkeys.

If you're counting only the gold that exists in the economy then, ok, technically, sure, but isn't that wrong in the first place? Ectos and zkeys do the exact same job.
