Here's my take on CW's now...these "champions" work for tynon and fix the fights so those that bet gems will lose them and have to get into their wallets to buy more. It's a lil thing most people call GREED!

LOL lame duck champ? that guy does more for server 1 and asks nothing in return! jealousy doesn't suit you!
REGARDING THROWING FIGHTS: 1st this is a players own choice how they wish to play their own toons in CWarfare, to each his own. 2nd, the person who threw the fights, was in my guild, and they are a TEAM player, they got our guild a ton of tickets, like thousands of tickets to each guild member each. This was not a request by each player in our guild, but that own players own kind offer to us all. Our guild put 3 players into the top 64 final players. We are the top guild in our realm, and we have team players on our team, that is why we are so strong, and we will be back. See we put a player into the finals of CWars, not because this player is selfish, but because they are a real team player. 4th, What do we care about the other guilds outside of our realm, we did not do anything except not get YOU some tickets. 5th Tynon is a game of strategy, and this is a VERY strategic move, to strengthen the entire guild, which, comes down to a selfless act by a top player, for the rest of the guild. 6th, my hats off to his offer to us. It is his card to play, this is not gambling where it is wrong to throw a match, this is a game, of strategy like chess, it is not a outside regulated gambling thing, otherwise, Tynon would be in trouble, as getting cards is fixed by the system because It is a game, not a gambling casino, but a game of strategy. Which my guild is doing very well in powering everyone up.
*Ignoring most of the comments made in this thread for rather obvious reasons* But I do agree there is a problem here...
Radical suggestion I know, but if the problem is as stated before "My chips were not pretty enough because they were clear when I really wanted the purple ones!"{coughlamecough}
Well then the solution is actually kinda obvious, dun let anyone know the exact jewel chip type it will be before hand...

It's not exploitation, it's a FEATURE!
In the circle of life you are either predator or prey. Of course which you are is entirely up to you.
You are
What you do
When it counts
*Sighing and rolling my eyes at the rant then trimming it shorter for clarity's sake*
1st Whoopty Do!
2nd Aye it is selfish, but selfish on a grand scale where a few elitist think it's ok for them to screw folks over not only on their server, but peeps on every server (except the few elitists in the know on other servers (not calling anyone who figured it out on the fly an elitist btw) such as the ones that threw it to start with to allow the final players to manipulate the outcome.)
3rd it's obvious you do not care but we certainly should since well that's Section 1.8 Part a. Engage in any act that uCool deems to be in conflict with the spirit or intent of the Service, including but not limited to circumventing or _manipulating_ these Terms, our game rules, _game_mechanics_ or policies and here is where many of you are gonna disagree and to that I say bring it on!
*Taking a boxing stance paws at the ready*
But disagree all you like, this will be interesting for I quote under Rules Related to Game Play "Using or exploiting errors in design, features which have not been documented, and/or "program bugs" to gain access that is otherwise not available, or to obtain a competitive advantage over other players". Just to make sure we all read that right, key words here are "or to obtain a competitive advantage over other players".
Now I really suspect this phenomena falls under the "Using or exploiting errors in design, features which have not been documented". Obviously this was most likely not in the dev team's intentions and it certainly wasn't documented properly if such an easy manipulation is possible. So this does indeed make the situation an exploitation of the feature to give an uneven advantage over others to a certain few.
But I'm a simple beast and prefer simple terms, so instead of exploitation why not call this what it simply is a cheat...
After all a cheat by any other name is still a cheat
Speaking of that @ Kaisim, I would have found that lil nugget freaking side splitting except for the fact it is so pathetic. What probably happened here is some genius thought they were on their main account, but actually was on one of their alt accounts (they have at least two made obvious by the email address) when they replied.
What amuses me is these "players" think they are so clever and skilled that the rest of us aren't completely aware and notice these gaffs ALL THE TIME.
What saddens me is it is just another example of one of the main fractures in Tynon's structure and just how out of hand the alt situation has gotten...
Oh and finally @ the PTB isn't that Section 1.6 Part c. You shall not have more than one Account at any given time, and shall not create an account using a false identity or information, or on behalf of someone other than yourself? Just asking for clarity's sake so that I properly understand the ToS...
*Wandering away chuckling for it was very kind of ucool to link me to their ToS since I have learned many interesting things there*

WOW. So that's your justification. And if you weren't in that server, that guild?? If you were an innocent bystander trying to eek your way thru a few tickets every other week? What say you then? pppfffff
And I love the "we put the player in the finals" Did you pay for it too??
Well after careful consideration the most reasonable fix for this latest exploitation seems to be one that has been touched on mostly already to some degree...
Contenders get two minutes before the battle to set their forms before they are locked in (BTW I agree with you all who say they enjoy the strat behind creating forms to fight other players, that aspect shouldn't be lost.) and then the bettors have two minutes to refresh and view the forms of the contenders.
Aye this would make it 5 minutes per battle since 1 minute to set and 1 minute to bet is just too short considering many of us are doing other events at the same time. As was pointed out earlier this would turn the event into a full week long experience which isn't really a bad thing.
So between blind winner's rewards and more time for the bettors to have an reasonable chance to make an informed bet, the exploitation may not be completely eradicated, but it will be significantly reduced.
The next round of CW is soon to start and one does hope it will not be the utter fiasco the last one was...

i dont understand how this would fix the problem...
we already dont have enough time to watch the first 2 rounds of the replay before the auto replay kicks in, not enough space to switch heroes with gear and runes AND switch them out of the inn first.
IMHO the only thing that could "fix" this would be to drop the bets all together and scale significantly improved instant rewards throughout the tournament as challengers progress.
I predict a lot of fights being thrown and manipulated for the players who compete at the top levels.
