I know this is a little off-topic, but this probably good for people to know...

So? If you only come for the events, you're only online for a few hours, but you can gain lots of points. (i think i played only one or two duels in august, yet i made most of my points in that month, in just a few hours) But it's true that Stiletto was the most dedicated player by far, and that sure helped him win.
Before the 4th season started, Bobby and I re-evaluated the scoring system by looking at how many points were awarded in relation to duels and events. The emphasis on the game is dueling, but most people can't do this as much as others; one of the reasons for hosting events is to help out those people a little.

If you tally the total amount of points awarded between the first three seasons, you will find that 85% of the points were awarded for dueling. We altered the event awards for the fourth season so that the duel:event point ratio was more around 60:40 (at least that was our target; I'm not sure if it was met or not).

How do you think the point distribution should play? You can respond here.
