Hey devs, I just wanted to give some feedback. I totally understand patching exploits that were hurting the integrity of the game. The only thing I don't get though is reducing MTO points to its original state. That was the first time in MTO's entire "lifespan" that the mode incentivized players to actually play the mode. Now, MTO is back to being irrelevant again to almost every player. I would recommend increasing the MTO point reward system to not 2x as much, but maybe 1.5x as much. This would give casual players more options to gain TA points without suffering through stage 1 showdown's.
Also, on the point of showdowns, I believe the stage 2 showdowns are perfectly fine at the moment. However, if you're going to take away MTO double points, why not make stage 1 showdowns the same difficulty as stage 2? As it stands, stage 1 is incredibly difficult and extremely frustrating for the casual player. If you guys lowered the difficulty of stage 1 to stage 2's level, I think a lot of the negativity you guys are seeing as a result of this patch would go away. Anyways, I hope someone took the time to read this through, thanks guys.
