This idea of gtm cash is hilariously complicated and mostly useless. Who's gonna bother spending his time giving fake money for mild rewards ? Or at least gonna bother for more than one month ?
also, the problem is that it's an intangible reward. Sure, it's pretty. Sure, it makes you feel good. But no more than that.
Not to mention that some newbies will care more about the reward than the tournament, thinking GTMcash is "cool" and "exciting", resulting on some half assed average quality tournament and the newbie does several of these.
JD's original idea was good. Because it takes one minute to give people a new shiny title if they have been making good tournies. No need to bother more about it.
But yet... Completing tournaments generally earns you respect, gives you more influence, and makes people more prone to listen to you, unless you have been failing at social interaction otherwise, in which case it does not help you much. It has always been such on these forums.
Not to mention the hilarious moments, the awesome moments, and the sheer satisfaction of battle lust that comes with it for everyone.
Is that no reward enough ? a tournament is it's own reward,
