Stop thinking like an endgame, entitled player and adjust with the changes to the game.
First of all: rude.
Secondly, anyone past woodelves can do 25 provinces in the tournament, and that's not even mid-game let alone end-game.
Third: Why do you think a player in chapter 4 (which is basically still the tutorial) has a more important opinion than any other player?
Finally: this is a discussion about Beta and changes that are yet to be implemented, meaning we are attempting to adjust those changes not adjust to them. Otherwise, it would just be an announcement with no need for feedback.
-----------------------------------------------------------
There seems to be a wide range of what players and the developers consider "hardcore" .
I, for example, consider a player who did 8 provinces 5 times to be WAY more hardcore than one who did 25 provinces twice because they are playing and doing the tournament every. single. day.
This is something I hope we've mentioned enough in this feedback since
@Marindor first mentioned 25 players doing 6x6*
