I think @aggroed has successfully convinced people that an entry fee is the way to stop low level decks from playing in high level tourneys. I think its a hollow argument though. The reason is because they can limit a player to participation based on his league level in the quest leagues... If you are a silver league player in that league, why not limit them to jsut the silver league tourneys... They your issue would be solved.
But @aggroed and @yabapmatt aren't doing it that way. Of course they could and it wouldn't break a promise and it would also make everyone much happier. But either they didn't think of it (which I doubt) or they wanted to introduce a "fee" to play. Either way it isn't acceptable to me when it is easy to both:
a) achieve what you want (proper competition) and
b) not break their promises to the investors of the cards.
Again, thanks for your input and for engaging us. I just want you to understand what its like from others who might not be as good as you but still want to participate in the Steemmonster program.
I keep wondering... I'm struggling every day to keep my level 6 deck in Diamond 3 this season, while during the previous seasons, I even got it up to Champion 3. Would your proposal mean that i should play Diamond tourneys with my level 6 deck?
I just mean... I think it won't be as easy to fix as it sounds, because they would have to tweak the entire game to make sure I don't get to reach Diamond with my Gold level deck...
I think the ratings would get "real" if people needed to play the quests to earn their ranks so they could enter the tourneys. So I don't think you could make it to diamond with a level 6 deck or if you did they you would be a super talented player since that level would have mostly level 8 decks.
And they seem hellbent on letting the big decks play also in the small tourneys too (which I don't like, but its another convo). So if they made it so that you are capped at least at the level you make in the quest league, then that would limit the people from playing as they are supposedly worried about.
I think if they did that though it would make more people want to play the quests and the fight to get ranked to a good level would be legit. So I doubt it would be all robots like we have experienced in the past.
I hope it helps and I don't think you are in danger of them taking any of my proposals. I think I've crossed swords with Aggy too much to ever put that genie back in the bottle.
Welcome to my world ;0)

We need to remember that there is also a difference between the leagues in season games and tournaments. Tournaments currently do not have a champion level classification to themselves. So in reality a deck that plays in the champion league in season games, is equivalent to diamond league standard for tournaments The question then, is do we need a champion level classification for tournaments? My deck along with my ability would not be able to win a tournament currently in a diamond class tournament against the champion level players in season games! It's a pretty exclusive club up there at the moment:)
Thank you for the reply again. Your comments expanded my horizon - Now I understand how other players may view the game and system, and it is very helpful.

Thank you for reading. I know this was a huge thread, but your participation here was definitely welcome and I'm happy to see you got to meet some of the very cool "more casual" players that you might never bump into!
