   whats the problem at all if a tour boundle would pay out 75volvo/25rest but 62,5volvo/ 12,5tourguys /25artists. the tourguys would not get a single dollar less then they are getting now. just the artist is getting more and volvo less ps: @konras try that code: <edit i pn-ed u the code> i just tryed it and it works.

   Theres some "greatest hits" of quotes up in here! and Basically those sum up alot of my thoughts. So I've only done 2 courier tourney items, but they were my last two, and they vastly different experiences. I'd say one was not a very good experience, but I learned alot about how these tourney deals go, while the other felt…

   Gotta echo Helenek's sentiment here, I'm only so angry at the whole tournament situation because it has come to more or less dominate the scene. @Konras Yeah, that's a slippery slope where you could end up creating an "old boys club" of certified artists.

   I do like the idea of tourney fees coming out of valves cut though the thing with them being added to a list of service provides is: a) each time we need to choose a service provider for the % split. (saving my split choices from last time would be a nice feature btw :D ) b) there are tonnes of these tournaments popping…

   Here is my opinion. Bundles are now what makes the customers get happy about, they spend less money and get more items. But at the same time, that causes an inflation of items throughout the economy. Limit the bundles! Or at least make the items that come in the bundle untradeable (however that would make the esports…

   All it would take would be for Valve to make the screening process totally blind ; that is to say, not allowing the linking of an item to a sponsor/ticket until said item is being approved. Of course it would piss off some people ... but not the artists. And the workshop was initially tailored for artists and not sponsors…

   That's a great idea, Pior! It'll also help with educating the average Workshop visitors. Agreed. My biggest gripe with this ticket bypass is how some low quality items (Neotolic Penguin comes to mind) or really lore-crushing stuff get a free greenlight into the item pool. As mentioned, short datelines and preferences of…

   Helenek I think what you've said is correct. They want to put in a certain amount of things each month and instead of individual's sets now they're just putting through tournament stuff. I don't think that's good for anyone except the tournament organizers. The end users get worse sets coming from smaller tournaments and…

   I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this or not (this thread is too much tldr) but I think what valve is doing is actually a smart decision for allowing tournament ticket items. As much as I hate to say it, but we have to look at Valve's priorities. As a game developing company their initial goal is to make a very…
