What spectacular prizes can those who had really great RNG expect?

Bat · June 2022

Let's face it, this game is just poorly designed and only makes "elites" of those who consistently get really good RNG. That's a factual conclusion many have already been able to arrive at through extensive play. And those who would argue otherwise, have clearly only been blessed with so much good RNG that they conflate their luck for skill.

So what are these "spectacular prizes" we've been hearing about that "the best players" (read: the players with the most favorable RNG) will "compete" for in the top of the leaderboards?

Are they something special, or just quantitatively more of the same?

And is it really fair to just heap awesome, special prizes on players who happened to have great RNG in a fashion so consistent that they climbed their way up to top of leaderboards?

Thoughts.

1st, I'm not so down on the game as some of the others around here, unlike traditional PvP here a person can not copy what someone else does ( a build if you will) and expect to win. Sure there may be some supposed shenanigans going on at the very top but I've lost more to my own mistakes than anything that RNG has to offer and that is with me getting "GOOD RNG" in the beginning and nabbing Those good cards first.

Now as far as prizes go I find it faster (or at least close to as fast) and more fun to get mats to refine. After my first 3 or 4 days of play after refining all my goods I got at least 10 gold mats from each group and that is not to include what I got directly from boxes. I've gotten Motiff pages but nothing I didn't have already. I have gotten several food recipes that I didn't already have. I have gotten 4 or 5 card upgrades and 1 tapestry for ToT. But mostly I get a ton of junk that gets turned straight into gold and then there is the gold itself.

TLDR;
Nothing spectacular yet.
Edit: nothing above purple quality

I got a tasty purple recipe that sold for 250k so I can't complain.
My crafting mats are pretty happy as well.

I bet if I payed attention, I'd probably have doled out several heart attacks by now, if folks saw what I do with Recipes that I already know. I wonder how many high price items I've sold to a merchant for in game gold prices just to clear my bag.
