That's not the point. The point is that in the tournament three, four good players can carry the FS to 10 chests if the remaining members do a reasonable contribution (of course as long as this is ok with them) - In the Spire, this does not work. You can do 63 points. That's it, thank you and good night.
In other words: It is not possible in the Spire to achieve better rewards without pushing FS members beyond reasonable limits.
Edit: And please stop telling everybody how easy it is to do Map 3. It is not, in fact it is utterly unfeasible for anybody still progressing in Chapters.
I'm still progressing in Elvenar, I've not finished it. I've got multiple Fellows who are progressing through chapters of different chapters who can do it too. Its not about feasible or infeasible, it is about priorities. I get about a hundred hours a week from the Spire - that pays for a lot of training! Just because you see big numbers doesn't mean they're infeasible any more than round 6 of your latest tournament is infeasible even if you struggle to do it. Do you do all your unlocked provinces to 6 star every week or not?
Consider Map 3 as being the equivalent to the 6th star at the end of your Tournament. At least this gives better rewards than 6 star on the Tournament does since I'm not especially keen on winning a shard and a broken shard.
It is very possible in the Fellowship in this system to get prizes without being pushed beyond reasonable limits. If everyone decides to only do the easy first map then everyone who does will get all the prizes from the first map. System working as intended. I don't see how it is better to have a Fellowship carried by 3 to 4 players, a Fellowship should cooperate together not simply take advantage of a couple of members.
As for getting 10 chests (40,000 points) with just 3 to 4 players carrying the Fellowship ... Sure that's possible if you have 4 players scoring 10,000 points - but looking at Elvenstats while that is my score increasingly often now that is extremely, extremely rare and I've not noticed any players doing that carrying their Fellowships by themselves. Oddly enough players scoring 10,000 points or more tend to be in Fellowships where other players are also scoring. On the other hand if you've got 25 active players you just need to score 1600 points each on average, much more reasonable and better than relying on being carried by 3 to 4.
EDIT: PS I
never said it was "easy" so I'm not going to stop saying it is easy since I never started saying it is easy. I actually if you can read properly said "Its expensive" but said it is a stretch target if you can do it.
