Why should you do that? You don't need consecutive wins for this event, do you?

Anoymous

I guess so we don't face Shira and DM and other meta so much?

Anoymous

Man, but wouldn´t you feel bad losing on purpose so much?

That's certainly not the best strategy.

Games are about goals. If you set your goal to lose, you'd feel better losing because you have achieved your goal lol

Anoymous

some people are in green anyway and there at the lowest ranking when the gp started

Anoymous

how many losses is required to be demoted to green?
No matter how many times I lost, my badge stays yellow (3 stars)

When you lose your brain releases dopamine. This increases the chance of a player being stuck in a game and becoming a whale.

It worked for Candy Crush, now DL.

Already knew that.
The fact so many people are playing this game with the goal of losing is a sign of game failure.

Yeah, very bad for a person's growth.

Imagine your child growing up by playing a game where you have only 2 options, winning as a P2W whale, or lose on purpose as a F2P begging for scraps gems.

For my part that's not how I want to raise my descendants.

It would be weird if children from the future all think : if I cannot be the best student in my class then I will fail on purpose.

Then you ask them : who taught you that?
They reply : the TCG Duel Links.

It already happened.

In my school there's a one special class for students with best grade only. Many of the 'normal' student who got there failed on purpose so they could got demoted back to regular class at the end of semester. They did that because the environment in that special class is so stressful, the 'best students' there will either study all day or do anything to keep their grades up.

It seems these 'normal' students spent so much time playing DL that they ended up having the loser mentality.

Winning is too hard and expensive.

Let's all lose everyone

You seeing it wrong here. It's not about loser mentality. It's capitalism mentality.

Winning should not be expensive. Poorer player, or let's just say F2P player has proven they could reach the top (Master, KOG). They don't need face whales to do that. We don't need to be whales to win and enjoy the game. Like, heck it still competitive if we all are playing just N and R cards. But we <cont'd>

<..> are pushed to collect rares, shinier UR. The competition is now about collecting better cards. The fun is now about tweaking the consistency and win as easy as possible. The duel is often about who draw better cards first, who got to their good opening hand first.

Why do you say in KOG level, people still play with their expensive deck. Although lose is not matter anymore, we can explore & have fun.

The situation is same with KC Cup. Many players fell content to just reach the 2nd Stage. It's their climb. It's the top.
Because at that top, the 'view' is terrible. To get and stay at high points, we have to play all day, losing sleeps and other activities
