GM/ES tourneys were never meant to be serious tourneys, and you should tell just from the fact that the prizes for 1st and 2nd positions are RANDOMIZED with a preset ST. They have trivia too for the sake of engagement and giving others a chance to win and collect ST for future item purchases.
"Competitive" tourneys exist on the event board, ones with a ladder and 1-2-3 position prizes. If you're not satisfied, wait for betting servers which are more than often nowadays to get a DP of, usually, +20,000 TC, or bet out your TC. If you're still not satisfied with betting servers, then duel with the handful of people who take this game as competitively as you do. If you're STILL not satisfied, then either wait for the new season for a one-in-one item for 1st rank, or sell your items and TC for $ and never come back.
P.S: There were more Aikido based tourneys lately (ABD, greykido, edikido...etc) than there were "noncompetitive" mods (lolnad3, jousting). It's a mixed bag of mods, never one true "official" mods, or else non-competing players will complain about it being based on Aikido and Lenshu.
Not really supporting this.
