# gleaming parcel I cannot do that

The PlayStation 4's excellent software, online services, and contents in the PS Store contribute to the system's status as a legendary gaming console. Unfortunately, not every PS4 user can access the full catalog of content in the PlayStation Store. Some media may be accessible in one country but not another. It's understandable that PS4 owners ...

that was due to multiple accounts in the same region

which is strictly not allowed

pearl glade

multi genshin account is also against tos

gleaming parcel
#

so you’re saying I have to be super labor intensive manually change my entire PlayStation every single time I want to play on a different region in genshin, while making not just a new genshin account, but a new PlayStation account, and a new email to confirm that PlayStation and genshin account

anyways this whole discussion would be minimised if the mods made very clear policy

while breaking genshin terms of service and potentially messing up my PlayStation

And potentially making me unable to play genshin at all

or unable to access my main account

im almost certain

polar barn

YouTubers have multiple accounts

every PlayStation that uses either my genshin account or my PlayStation account will always be in NA

rose perch

If you wanna get technical most of the alts are from people who brought accounts. Selling and buying accounts is definitely against tos

for f2p and p2w

alpine lava

you've got tons of time between queues to switch

runic thicket
#

I mean you have to think what you are saying is unfair

The opponents you are saying is making it unfair really needs to get to like top 4 to make the effort even worth it, they need to not only go through 35 games but get to the really top to get a good amount of money

pearl glade
rose depot
#

fwiw

#

there's a much easier argument to take that you're not even doing

#

ie filling up spots that would normally be filled by people from that region

runic thicket
#

even if they are really good players that's a lot if you are not getting to at least like top 3

rose depot
#

but you're not arguing that LOL

gleaming parcel
#

The only way I could have 2 accounts is by making a new PlayStation account AND a new genshin account.
But to play in a bit nA server I’d have to also switch my whole region on my PlayStation

rose depot
#

it takes like 5min to make a new ps account

#

uh

#

changing regions does not ruin your playstation lol

you aren’t understanding my point haruno

rose depot

yes, because there isn't one.....

gleaming parcel
#

You’re asking me to break genshin a terms of service

rose depot

which is?.......

#

what?

runic thicket

theres no TOS

gleaming parcel
#

And asking me to do something that is unrealistic and not worth the trouble

against multiple acc

rose depot

im pretty sure

it takes more time to finish a whale mirror, than it does to do something you say isn't worht the trouble

if you dont want to have multiple ps accounts then you could use a phone/pc

im sure most out of region players are doing that

Genshin is a massive game in terms of file size, my computer and my phone can’t handle that.

gleaming parcel
# rose depot you're just making more and more excuses at this point

Coop loads slow, so people think you’re afk just cause you take a little longer to load in so they kick you for not moving in 12 seconds
You try typing without access to a keyboard and only a controller, it’s really annoying and takes forever
You also can’t switch servers because your PlayStation and genshin account are linked

And you’re just “well buy a new PC or new phone to play on that” and “just switch your region” and “just make a new account and new PlayStation account”

You’re not hearing me at all on
Console is all I can play on, and that limits me as a player.

Then how did you get those images?

prob shared on another tcg server?

gleaming parcel

The only one who could see into that thread was me, the person I matched with, and the moderation team.

#

So how did Nomad get the images?

runic thicket
#

ppl complain about others all the time so I assume it's just one of the public tcg server

gleaming parcel
#

What public tcg server?

subtle ibex
# polar barn this

you realize that even if those images were distributed outside of the server, that you were the one that has posted them here where Tavern and Hoyoverse's ToS applies, thereby making you liable for breaking those rules?

runic thicket
#

theres GITCG one from reddit and pretty sure theres some hyv tcg

#

basically non-official communities

#

discord servers

#

I mean

gleaming parcel
#

Oh that makes sense
Just other discord channels

polar barn
#

not the outsiders

subtle ibex
#

those images should never be public in the first place, and it's something we will investigate internally and take action on so things like this won't happen again in the future

versed kelp
#

its like sharing leaks here, just becasue you are NOT the leaker, doesnt mean you still don't get in trouble.

polar barn

i only shared because
someone was wrongly accused of somthing he didn't do in public

gleaming parcel
polar barn

i didn't share it out of nowhere

context matters

lol why did you even share it? To slander me?

and allowing mods to do there jobs also matters.

I came here to ask about “what to do if someone confirms that they are using an alternate account”

And people answered the question. And I thought it was done. I left it at that.

Nomad came in and “they aren’t sharing screenshots cause they’re a bad person” when the screenshots bird was even asking for was about not being matched again.
Nothing related to the conversation.

I asked a question, I got an answer because I genuinely wasn’t sure what to do.
And all you posted was something to try to make me look bad; something you shouldn’t have even had access to.
Yeah, I said some not great things, I see that. And I will accept consequences for it.

But I feel I can’t win in this case.

I wanted to follow-up on something that was discussed in modchat

#

is any posting of the preliminary threads banned? I assumed that I as a participant in the conversation had the right to share it

#

not for doxxing reasons, just for funny (to add to my collection of threatening people with whale so they would play heated battle with me instead)

twilit steppe
barren anchor
#

how about sharing screenshots of the in-game chat? that's technically not public right

pearl glade
#

Cus I thought “doxxing” meant revealing private personally identifying information.

#

Not a screenshot of their convo in a game channel

indigo delta
#

@tropic slate Generally speaking, if another player's private information (like UID) is shown, then one probably shouldn't be casually posting it in public. That's the sort of information that should be up to that person to share, since it's basically like a Genshin address.
I would also generally say that people have a right to share their own information as long as it doesn't infringe on another's right to privacy. There's a conflict there, and good judgement should mean erring on the side of caution. Or at the very least, getting permission. If someone's posting without permission, then there's at least a fair chance they're being salty about something. Basically, treat it like sharing screenshots from the friend group chat—probably best just not to.
@twilit steppe - censoring the name was a good move.
@barren anchor - that's a bit iffy since the conversation isn't technically linked to the Tavern, and could have occurred organically via natural in-game co-op request. Still, it's always best to be sensible about this kind stuff.

given that it can sometimes be quite difficult to properly parse intentions via text, it’s probably for the best that match fixing isn’t talked about, even in a joking manner

#

match fixing is probably not possible, at the very least extremely unreliable.

#

the queue bot works in mysterious ways and it's always been that they dont prioritise matching people that are available asap.

indigo delta
#

even so, match fixing really shouldn't be contemplated - however, this isn't a warning or a strike or anything drastic like that ofc - most like a cautionary heads up

in addition effort to match fix is not feasible

if their goal is to complete 35 games

you do not share your decklists with your opponent prior to the match

score > infractions (less is prioritized) > last match played (earlier is prioritized)> registration time

somthing like that

supple marsh

Q18. How is the ranking for the Preliminary Phase calculated?

Score > EXP > Strikes (the lower the better) > Win rate > Last played match (the earlier the better) > Registration date (the earlier the better)

#

I crossed out WR% because if equal score and equal EXP then WR% is the same (will report this to CTG staff later if no one sees this message)

Congratulations to the Cat Tails Gathering and all his staff like @abstract briar, whom doesn't care about cross players and made the NA lb a Global lb

It's a shame open the LB just to see two maybe three legit players whom are resident of na region

#

The same players keep playing the same tournament with different names within different regions and everybody of the organization think it's OK?

#

Clearly it's not OK for most of player base cause they fell hurt cause of wherever reason they can't while others can and nothing is done bout by you CTG

Also clearly the skill gap is immense cause the same players that cross playing are getting classified within his 3 alias

Imo, competition can never be completely fair. For example, you can argue that less skilled players winning tournaments simply because most of the other skilled players play in other regions is equally unfair.

Let's say CTG doesn't exist and we have one big tournament that includes all 3 regions. If we assume 48 people reach knockout stage, do you really think it will have 16 EU, 16 America and 16 AS players?

You can make an argument that some players playing in two or three regions is unfair, since they have 2x or 3x chances to qualify compared to single-region players, but its not like they are given special privilege to play in multiple regions. Anyone who has time for it is free to do the same.

America server got two times more gold cardbacks than EU server (last year, there were NA and LATAM Prince Cup compared to one EU Prince Cup). That is not fair, so should we take some gold cardbacks from them and give it to EU players? Obviously, no.

#

If you came to CTG to win, looking for the excuse in invaders won't raise your skill level.

If you came to CTG to have fun, you will be met with meta decks whether or not you meet invaders (This is no longer early TCG scene, where everyone brought their own decks. Meta decks are easily accessible everywhere and many people participating in tournaments obviously want to win)

If you came to CTG to improve, facing invaders will help you more than facing less-skilled players.

If you came to get primogems, you are already wasting time and sanity playing 35 games against whale.

If you came to CTG to get 3 wins for the cardback,... Nvm, you probably don't even know invaders exist

That being said, if you don't like invaders, I fully support voicing your opinion and asking for change. However, I encourage you to voice it in a civil way and not resort to personal attacks. Both people who agree and disagree with you will be more eager to listen to your suggestions if you present them in a respectful way.

# molten peak In your theory I don't think that we'll get equally distribution of players but ...

I do think you have a point, but that is the key distinction between one big tournament and 3 separate tournaments.

If you remember Prince Cup Atlantic and Pacific registration requirements, you needed either residence or citizenship from the eligible countries. This means a person with dual citizenship etc was able to meet full requirements for participating in both regions. If there was a rule stating you must choose one region even if you meet requirements for both, it would make sense. However, if the rule doesn't exist and a player aims to qualify in both regions, they shouldn't be insulted because of their decision.

My point is, some arguments against invaders do make sense. However, if someone disagrees with current state of things, they should appeal to the people in power and ask for the change in the rules. Insulting people who obviously are not breaking the rules is not the way to go.

rose perch
# mint turtle I do think you have a point, but that is the key distinction between one big tou...

My main problem stems from Tournament Organizer's ambiguity. If they state Cats Tail is a Global tournament which just so happen to have Regional server. Then that is an equal playing field. I have no problems with that. Right now it is everyone's own head canon and interpretation of the rules. You say hey you can go play whatever server you want if you have the time. Tell me what happens when a season or 2 later we get banned for doing so? I am not going to risk my account worth 1000s of dollars over this so I play by the official rules. What "invader" are doing is a loophole in the rules and may or maynot be punished in the future. I been a competitive player in many games and very stubborn about rules. Make the stance clear and then I know whether it is worth my time to pursue or not.

"grandfathering" players if a new rule comes into effect is something that while perhaps legal definitely isn't ethical and of course the qixing will take that into consideration~
