Elements PvP League - Suggestions and Feedback

After the 30 games rule was added, the matches played in BL increased by about 24%. Although Elements is probably getting a little more popular, and people are realizing the fun of unupgraded play, the 30 games rule definitely caused more matches to be played.

If you are unable to play 2-3 matches a week, then don't sign up.  It is that simple, it means you are not dedicated enough for league play.  And league play is really for people that play elements a lot, or for newbs that plan to.  You have 3 months, there is no excuse short of death or jail to not play 30 times.  On top of that, there should be a penalty for not playing on a regular basis, this would also encourage more games to be played.  Would also mean no top player can just sit out til the end of the league and playing no more games, either they play or they lose points automatically.

That means 75% of people.

Correlation does not imply causation.  As you mentioned there were other factors that could have led to more BL games.  And what about the season AFTER the 30 games rule was added, after you banned a majority of the players?

I can tell you that I considered playing BL several times over the past few months, but the 30 match rule made me choose not to.

Clearly it didn't deter 70 people who didn't make the minimum anyways.  Either stop worrying about it and join or stop complaining about it and don't.

You concerns are not normal, you are an outlier, and your concerns (not even a real situation... Just your hypothetical future issue of being banned by not making 30 matches) are not a compelling reason to change the rules that effect everyone.

Part of my insane quest for 200 league matches last season was to have people stop complaining about the 30 game requirement. And while I fell well short you have to consider i sat out the first two weeks if the league. Anyone, and i do mean anyone, barring death and maybe dismemberment (you might still be able to make 30 games depending on recovery time) can make 30 games if they choose to do so. It really just comes down to your priorities for your elements playing time. I'll choose league play over grinding any day.

Yeah it is very easy to get the 30 match done.. Specially in BL where I did 15 match in 2 evening..

This is precisely why the rule is in place.  The focus of Leagues is to provide a competitive PvP environment for serious players, not an occassional game for casual players.  That's what PvP1 and PvP2 are for.  The 30 game rule is there to make every player pause and question whether they are serious about commiting the time necessary to compete in the Leagues, just like the PvP Parasite system does the same for other events.  To hear you say that you chose not to participate because of the match limit reinforces that it is working exactly as intended and likely will not be changed at this time.

No.

Elements PvP League - Rules
You can only participate in one league at a time.  If your score changes during the season, you do not have to switch over to a different league.  Once you join one league you are lock into it for the rest of the season and cannot join the other one until a new season starts.

Any chance the standings can get updated by a 3rd party while TStar is gone?

Er, third party? TStar's not the only League Organizer, you know

That being said, I will do my best to update League standings a minimum of two times per week (so far, my track record's been pretty good in terms of timely updating). No need to harass the LOs about it; updates will naturally be made on a regular basis
