[Post 2/2]
First, depending on your rank score and some other ambiguous combat-related stats, you were assigned a registrar to sign up for a tournament. I am not sure if these are the only criteria or if there were less or more. However, combat stats was 100% taken into account, which is obviously correct, but the METHOD in which it was, I believe, was the biggest issue with the duel tournaments.
Obviously, as a first-time player, one would start with the lowest rank and as you win tournaments, one would increase in rank. Fair enough. Also, combat stats were another criteria like I mentioned that was taken into account when deciding which registrar you are assigned to. Again, very fair. After all, this is a combat-based minigame. However for some reason, players with high RANGED level (I believe high 70s), yes ranged in particular, whether they were a pure or a tank, were automatically assigned to the 6th registrar, which was the last one and mainly used by maxed-out combat accounts. This is where things went wrong. There were pures with very low defence levels (anywhere from 60+ combat) competing against maxed-out level 126s. Is that fair? Players paying entry fees to fight against a player, in some cases 40-60 combat levels higher? No.
I would like to offer suggestions to prevent this from happening again:
1) Criteria used to determine which registrar (or the equivalent) a player is assigned to should be based on overall COMBAT TOTAL level. That way ranged level does not have the same effect as it did in the past.
2) Allow for pures to participate in their very own tournaments. Maybe offer separate tournaments for 1 defense pures, initiate pures, and zerker pures. This is not absolute. If pures want to face off against the typical main account, they can join those tournaments as well.
I feel these are the biggest points that needed to be addressed and if anything else comes to mind I'll post. Feel free to contact me in-game or post for discussion.
