your are very right but it's still not fare to lower CC's and if they didn't have options to make free credits i wouldn't waste my hard earned money on playing this game. been playing almost 4 years and it's gotten worse over the past year
Patrick, I don't disagree with you or anyone else about the clashes being unfair, I completely agree. I think the basic idea is really good but the format really sucks as it does benefit larger CC's with people willing to use their credits whether they have to buy them or not. In addition, it also benefits larger CC's that have people with the time and/or ability to play often.
I agree with others that have said the "Clashes" need to be based on ability and skill. I'm sure it wouldn't be the easiest thing to put together given the wide range of CC's because no matter what, the higher tiered players most often have an advantage.
Maybe something like team brackets would work based on tiers. If a CC wants to play in a bracket for say Tour Masters, they can use players that are TM's or below. Each player on the team has 24 hrs to play or the team forfeits.
There have been many suggestions that would work well but no matter what, not everyone will be happy. We'll all still see posts how this and that aren't fair.
And not boasting but I've been lucky enough to not have to purchase credits in more than 2 years. I do a lot of surveys, watch video's, won some match play tourneys, brackets and ready go's. I've done the above pretty much when I started playing this game and have had a few good teachers along the way.
