It's not about feeling robbed. It's about a consideration for the health of the game as a whole. For a long time prior to the introduction of the new tournament style, there were a small vocal number of people from the top-performing tournament fellowships, who were begging Inno to introduce new chests to make the tournaments more challenging. We had the same argument/debate back then, that it would be a bad thing if they did that because whatever the top chest was would become the natural goal for fellowships, so however it was dressed up no one would consider the 10 chest goal anymore.
I always have respect your opinion Pauly, to me your arguments are always reasonable and sometimes neutral, but in many aspects of what you have said now I totally disagree.
First: Consideration is what Inno devs should have had of the fellowships that fixed and worked their cities to reach a good military level for years and all from sudden they suffered absurds changes that made many players leave the game. No having onsideration is that some fellowships leave everything by a suppose "prestige" but at the same time lose lot of time, clicks, planning, boosters to achieve a good result and they are not rewarded well because some players think that would be "too much", and would be offended that some players and FSs which works to achieve those results can get more then them.

Well you can see Inno really don´t care and have no consideration of what we´re talking about now, either supporting my suggestion or not taking this into consideration as you impugn, and at the end they heard more to those few who wanted extra chests, which is cool since it is a big motivation to play their new tournament system that probably none would ever play it passing 10th chest if they hadn´t put those 9 extra chests, and probably many more fellowships that now do between 14-18 chests would play with extra motivation if something better lay in the last 19th chest. Who knows, maybe this would benefit to the game in general at the end.
So they introduced 9 more chests, but didn't reward people for opening them. That is one of the few Inno moves in recent times that I have been very much in support of. They managed to appease the people who wanted to score more points for fun, without making other teams start pressurising their players. As soon as they did this a few fellowships (like yours) opened 19 chests on the first week... and I was the first to congratulate you... but that should've been all it was about, but no sooner was it done then that wasn't enough for some people - we want some extra lovely treats for it too. It's not necessary. You don't need to open 19 chests. It's just there to compare yourself against other teams. Exactly the same as it was before except the high end scores are laid out better... and you do get a little treat for your trouble. That shouldn't matter though. If you are going above and beyond then it should just be about the achievement.
You´re forggeting all this new 9th extra chests happend in the bosom of a totally new tournament, with new rules, new goals, that many fellowships got affected very hard and others were very well benefied, so in this scenario, the main porpuse of playing tournament changed, like I said in some comments above, the gravity center change, now with extra 9th chest and a new tournament system should be a differente goal, and rewards, and why not, a new reward in the last 19th chest.
It would have been totally different if, as you said, these new chest would have been put in the old tournament system where the top and goal was the 10 chest+ 1 blue print. Do you get my point? Your argument is totally right but if we was in the old model, now that we´ve got another tournament, another rules (made by Inno itself, not by my FS or the fellowships that get the 19th chest) and that have been rumours of another level in the spire ( that, if implemented, would give totally another diamond quantity as the ultimate level reward), the implementation of a new good reward in the 19 chest is logical, well deserved and jutified my friend Pauly.
Again, Could I ask you and the people that think like you, Why it is
not necessary this suggestion comes to light?
About your suggestion that we don´t need open the 19th chest and reach high in tournament, I can suggest you also the same but in a inverse way: You don´t need to stay only in the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th chest. Cause if there´s a possibility to get something better and you can get it, and even better, be rewarded in high for that such achivement and you can make it happen, someone is free to take it or change it if they like so in the bosom of freedom.
You´re totally free to work for a new reward in the19th chest, as you are totally free to do not.
"It's just there to compare yourself against other teams. Exactly the same as it was before except the high end scores are laid out better... "
In the old model the score and prestige was for that, now with the extra chests that they have introduced( and since they were introduced at the same time as tourney) changed all that aspect of the game, many were benefied and other affected, if Inno decides in the future implement a good new reward for the 19th chest this would affect only to those who think that we´re in the old model, and very few fellowships ( that won´t make any damage to the game) would be benefied. If that awakes envy, that won´t be the fault of those FSs since the new tournament was not its fault to get started.
