Now the top finishes are even more about the rich players.
I think you're grossly overestimating the number of diamonds used to win the FA. Badge costs increase for each one purchased and the price would become ridiculous very quickly. Fellowships that win are just organized and it seems rather "sour grapes" to insinuate that the Fellowships that come in the top places are simply buying that top spot rather than working for it.So it was posted to the Facebook group that a reply was gotten about this on the EN forum and yes, Inno did this on purpose to limit the number of badges we can make from the tournaments. This will definitely cut down on scores by all fellowships that do not spend diamonds or money. Now the top finishes are even more about the rich players.

Inno is a business, of course every single change they make will have the end goal of getting players to spend money.These crazy fellowships that get 100k+ points are the ones Inno is trying to slow down, or trying to get to spend even more diamonds and money on badges to stay in 1st.
They are all in my event note (which opens without Facebook or any other special program):Elvenar Wikipedia doesn't show an accurate description of quantities needed for some Badges.
Agree 100%! The surest way to find out if an FA behemoth is spending diamonds is to ask someone from such a group and confirm by trying it yourself. In both cases, I've found the answer is no, you do not need to spend diamonds. The truth of the matter is these top FA groups come out of the gate with the intention of making enough badges to flip to 130k in the Pit. How many groups can say they approach FAs this way? If a FS can hit 130k regularly without burning out, then they can easily stroll to 100k while hitting the breaks to take it easy. If we're going to be honest, most FS's all out effort can't even match their easy pace. Most people's burnout level is far lower than that threshold and that's perfectly fine because otherwise burnout leads to leaving FS or even the game. It's not for everyone. However, if your group mentality is the top groups only throw diamonds at the problem, then that will cement your FS will never be able to do what the top groups can do, and then of course, it'll always feel out of reach.I have often gone for top placement with several different fellowships in different worlds. If we don't win there is often someone who claims we lost because the other fs spent a lot of money. But I don't believe this is the case. When we win it is really not my impression that people have spent a lot of diamonds/money to get us there.
Why does it matter how many points the top ranks gonna get? It will still be the same fellowships battle for the top places (which usually are the only fellowships caring for the FA). What is the differents getting over 100k points or not for you?All I will say is I am looking forward to seeing the lower final scores when those top fellowships do not have two tournaments to speed through for badges. No more doing 25x6 or 50x6 twice during the FA.
