Huh?

I'm in tournament 1200191. In the previous round I defeated a team called the Cibola Anklebiters, managed by bdcable1. In this round I'm scheduled to play the Cibola Chihuahuas, managed by bdcable2.

If they have 2 licenses, they can enter 2 teams in the same tournament.

You can do that, too. You just have to buy a second license.

I think it also works if you have PTGO, because that's also a separate license. I never used Go, though, so I may be incorrect.

Correct. If you have Go! the 4th team you get can also be entered in to the same tournaments as your other teams.

they're a twitch chat regular in the community: last year they had three to four teams in the same tournament at times. i gave them a little crap for it, it's not a great look, but technically legal (though i would highly recommend not do that)

With multiple teams in the same tournament you basically try to win trade one of your teams to a higher round (and prizes) which is a violation of the TOS and is therefor grounds for a ban...

I don't think it is right to make assumptions on peoples motives.

I have entered multiple teams into the same tournament but each team has a lineup that is designed to compete. If two of my teams meet up I don't change a thing.

If the developers want to prevent this don't allow it.

If you have two teams meet in a tournament, one of them has to advance. Unless one is clearly weaker, and you make it dump the series, I don't see a problem with that.

The problem is if someone has 150 teams they can freeze people out of the dailies.

Speaking of things that can get you banned...there's a card being offered in the Card Shop for 2 billion PP. Any guesses on whether this player is tanking?

that's just the maximum number that a card can be listed for

And? Posting a card for more than anyone would or could pay is a red flag because it's parking that player off-roster where it isn't linked to the team. I'm not seeing a legitimate reason for that, unless the dog, cat, or toddler went crazy on the keyboard.

it's a joke probably, the card is still linked to the team if it's on a sell order, since it counts against your card limit and 10 card limit

The topics on this thread seem to me like people are just looking for something to get upset about.
If the game allows multi-license play, and those teams are not sharing/passing points then there is no difference between a different user having a team in a tourney and the same end user having multiple teams in a tourney. The teams are independent of each other and have the same chance of winning as every other team.
As for parking a player in the shop, one player is not going to guarantee demotion, weekly changes in performance would be enough if you are that close to the cut line. Otherwise, you are playing without a good card, how does this benefit? As Cwhit mentions the card still counts against limits.

For "topics", there is no doubt that points are being transferred among teams outside of normal card sales, whether they are intra-user transfers or inter-user collaboration which is impossible for a player to know since the players aren't listed.

There is no other explanation for a common 45 card not in any missions to have a L10 of 1K PP, with sell orders that look like 3000(5) 25 (5) and similar buy spreads with inexplicable trade volume on both sides. There is no other reason for such volume and spreads on a common card where L10 rapidly ramps up and then ramps down to normal low levels.

There are numerous daily examples like that which are clearly not random sales. But the 10 card limit allows for this kind of activity. It is merely a speed bump.

I think the point of a thread like this is to talk about activity that seems competitively unfair or not right, and to encourage changes. If the devs don't hear these complaints, they'll never change things. If enough people complain, maybe they'll change it. And hey, you gave an opinion, which is good - we should all be able to share our opinions.

And hey, FWIW here's my opinion: I don't like seeing the same users in the same tourney because it feels like hedging your bets, an unfair advantage for people who use multiple teams, and likely even moreso because the guy who has multiple teams is likely also the guy who has paid a ton of money to stack his teams. To me, it seems like another way to cater to the whales.

Everyone has or can have 3 teams, so it's not a whale thing.

Not the point. The point is a user having multiple teams in the same tourney.

[cwhitman]

i agree that multiple teams even on different licenses should not be allowed. that should be changed on the TOS even if it's hard to police it. but just making it a rule will make some people stop doing it, even if it doesn't stop everyone
