Toribash Needs To Change
I am one of the few people left in toribash because of love for the game and forums, rather than the love of credits. I have neard stories of the good old days where people played for fun, had no desperation for toricredits.
Also, we need more organised servers, with public servers like rk-mma, aikidobogdjo and other popular mods. This would bring the fun back to the game, and also a good idea would be for clans to buy a server which is premaritally there, named with the clan name and only members of that clan could join.

oh i agree i just meant when an item is sold out in the shop it sucks to have to pay so much if you DO want to get the item
trying to help a game ive fallen in love with but its not like some thing important to fix as i said inflation is neccesary to profit and yes i realize im new so my opinion dont count for as much but....nothing ventured,nothing gained XD

just a newb youtuber trying to get some good game vids out there at ----http://www.youtube.com/user/WTHgamevids
i think without all the features like buying and selling items and art, toribash wouldnt be toribash.
i understand the reason why hampa did qi restrictions and stuff because it makes me wanna get better and stuff...

Please define: "Good public servers" and we might actually provide something that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike those.
The problem with "a monthly tourney" is the fact that someone has to organize it, and that's pretty big load of work. There is a reason why such events are run annually, and are limited to X ammount of people.

That is the theory, anyways.
Who should judge what is the best replay of the week? You? Me? Someone else? General populace? I'm pretty sure that most of *us* would vote last option, hence why we have the "Replays" tab. Problem with it being that no one uses it...

Even tho I agree with the most of your post, I gotta comment this line:
Most people seem to join tourney servers for fun and not so much for prizes.
I haven't done any gallups (maybe I should...) nor really taken notes, but...
Also, I don't even remember when someone has complained about my prizes being bad, really.

Weirdly enough, I think that we've managed to do this, at least with *most* GMTourneys/events/servers. :P

If your objective is to grow crops, and the game can do it for you, it does give you a sense of completeness, but a very cheap, and a not so lasting one. Playing for TC is about the same, you can trash a joint and throw it out of the ring, but what does that really mean in the sense of accomplishment?
I don't want to be that scrub saying GAY SHUVEL every time he loses to a dm, but if you're so happy about winning a duel that you don't care about the game, you might as well buy the damn TC.
Replace TC with "win". What do you see?
Yes. Some people play to win. The toricredits they gain is just to show that they've won, much. They try to win by any means, may that be by "trashing a joint and throwing it out of the ring" or by turttling/tripoding/playing it safe etc, for you and me that might be "lame" but...
Summa summarum, problem is that people are different and play for different things.
And there's nothing we can really do about that.
P.S I don't mean that your ideas or suggestion are bad, or impossible to achieve. I'm just pointing out things that I feel should be considered.
P.S.S I probably lost my train of thought few times there and ended up rambling, if you have any questions/corrections/points to discuss feel free to do so. I won't bite too hard. :P

So, if there was a little section in the replays board, where anyone can upload their replays, in a specified category, and other users could vote on them, that could solve the problem.
In theory, users would rather vote on someone new than someone who always hogs the top spot.
I answered this later in the thread, but this is only one of the options, there could be a team of different *experts* in each mod, which changes every month or so, who would decide which replays are the best. This would require very much effort, going through all of those replays. So an user voting system would probably be for the best. The most popular replays would raise to the top, and the worse replays would sink to the bottom.
Well, in theory at least.

Well, maybe it's just me, but i see more people being dissatisfied with the prizes than satisfied. But then, again, the ones who are satisfied aren't as visible.

I'm not looking to remove the whole play to win thought, i'm just providing alternate values for those who doesn't really care for TC or winning the game. I think one of the reasons people quit the game is because they're tired of playing for TC, and it's more rewarding to market than to duel/bet. Or that's what i heard.
If we provide rewards that aren't achievable just with TC, we can probably get more people to stay.
Again, just theory, there's no guarantee this will work.
Also, let's get off the "pay to play" argument, I'm pretty sure no one here wants Toribash to cost money, and that was just one solution for the problem at hand.
