Single post in Remove tourney egg lock

Here's the way I see it: - Casual users May not log in regularly. Probably don't care about Arceus, may not be interested in melan hunting. 150k/token isn't cheap to them since they're not on much to be earning money, and if they're not hitting the medium or high goal in every tournament, they're going to need to buy a lot to get the unlocks early on. Instead they'll probably just wait until the eggs cost fewer tokens or are breedable. Or maybe they don't care about the egg dex at all, and just trade GP for hatched Pokemon in the forums. I argue: The 1-point requirement does not influence their decisions on how often to log in, or how much to participate in each tournament. - Active, serious players Log in enough to be able to easily score the minimum point required to be allowed to unlock eggs. These people often care about maintaining Arceus, and can do so in a couple ways: score in the top 100 to earn the egg, or focus more on their shiny chain and buy the extra tokens they need at the end of the week. I argue: The 1-point requirement does not significantly change how these users play, since the effort to get 1 point is small compared to their overall time spent playing. Obviously there's room in the middle there - people who spend more time in the forums than on the collection aspects of the game, or completionists like me who like getting Arceus but never really use the melan boost. I'm generalizing but I hope you see my point. If the requirement doesn't generally affect who I see as the average player, who is it impacting? What is its purpose?
