Quoted from TechnicalSteam:So people with Wealth and Entitlement - Get the Advantage.
Soon we will need sponsorships just to get a shot at playing in top 100.
Let's say there is a way to buy points through Charitable giving. I've heard of said loophole from others. You can rack up points simply by buying these tickets rinse and repeat.
Yeah, all competitive sports eventually hit a paywall where you have to be able to afford to take time off and travel to major competitions. Even high level video game competitions have this, and most of them could be played at home. Many of the elite players are sponsored because they regularly have to travel the world for major competitions.
I don't know what you mean by charitable giving to game the system (I think you might be confused about how HERB style qualification works? Or maybe you mean creating fraudulent tournaments with fake players?)
Sure you can enter a bunch of tournaments and get a token amount of points, but they don't matter. Only your best 20 events count towards your ranking, and they decline in value over years.
The simple fact is, if you want to be high in the rankings you have to show up and do well in the handful of major pinball tournaments.
