I dont know if you know this, but the cooldowns are too long to be able to give you a shiny for every tourney. Its just not possible to keep up with the demand in tourneys and give a shiny for each one. AkileshX 1 Link to comment

Might be an idea to not fuck the players on prizes rather than cooldowns, I get you can’t fix that but why play a 128 man bracket for a comp that’s been available for 6 years? Link to comment

Cooldowns are never gonna be shorter. Staff is unlikely to change its mind regarding shiny cooldowns and arguing the case never worked either. best CMs and Moderators can do is either give you these comp prizes or prolong the time between tourneys, and I know neither is optimal or even wanted, but thats the best they can do. However you could argue that the prizes could be shinies that arent in the tier, which makes the shinies basically useless, but still shiny Link to comment

I just gave you a solution, Shinies that arent in any tier, such as Stantler, a useless shiny in any tier, but still pretty and wanted. Link to comment

Ok don’t confuse my sarcasm with not wanting a shiny, I’d personally take other mons because there is gimmicks that make sense in higher tiers. I don’t play enough to know them however Link to comment

Its not as if this messes with the shiny economy since they're gifts, im not trying to blame cms, since theyre just listening to the rules layed out for them, but I am curious why these 124 man events have to make do with sub par prizes. Also could the cash reward be increased to such an extent to accommodate for the drop in the shiny prize?(I do understand this change would have an influence on the economy) I know you aint a cm anymore bil so this isn't really.addressed at you, unless you got some answers Link to comment

Besides that, alot of shinies in OU have a high cooldown. some have cooldowns of over a half year, this is unlikely to ever change, although we never argued this point. As for increasing the cash prizes, I remember have a short argument about this, and this also was not going to change, the best you can do is hope for a increase in maximum shinies given, now the playerbase has grown to such a big size that the past amount of tournaments made are no longer enough, and ofcourse the impact of these shinies will be less.
