@LegandaryVX

you completely misunderstand what the problem "was" (I hope its gone for good).

You are not matched for battles by rank, you are matched by the power of your deck. I was collecting data and putting it into a spreadsheet for every Coli fight, and the truth is that you are obviously meant to win at least 5 fights for every 3TP entry. I tried fights with MANY different decks, inclucing 3,4, & 5 card decks and usually won 7-8 battles.

HOWEVER... 3x now, after each server reset (inclucing the one that kicked off this event) that matching system broke down, not for everyone but for a significant number of us. Collecting fight data for a spreadsheet it was easy to see. While working, the system would match a 5 card 75k / 75k deck against 10 card 75k / 75k decks (and set an 80k / 80k deck around fight 8 or 9)... after the servers restarted it would match that same 75k / 75k 5 card deck against a 150k / 150k 10 card deck for the first fight, and then when i switched to my "best" Coli deck it would match my 170k / 155k deck against 175k / 160k in the first fight.

The problem actually appears to be that it was feeding players their system-chosen Arc Dragon opponent deck as the first fight.

This has nothing to do with "get a better deck", if it did then Drecom would not have acknowledged that there was an issue and put out the apology.

So for many of us this event which has gone 19 cycles right now, has included 6 cycles where we were absolutely unable to participate. The sad part is that there is simply no way to make up for the fact that some of us who really want to do well will have to use 150-200% of the Tourney Potions as players who were not affected.
