what a great and honest post by the Devs... I love it!
Personally I thought the main issue wasn't the tourney itself (the 24 hours, higher cost changes were great imho)...
The big issue as I saw was all surrounding characters/stars earned (and huge variance in resources needed from shard to shard).
I thought other than stars, the rewards were pretty awesome.
The fact that earning additional stars afterwards was a complete mystery to me was the big issue. You save up ally points and dedicate tons of time and maybe got shafted with a 4-5* and no known way to farm or get the rest of the way. Why should I take that risk and still have a useless character for 3-4 months?
I don't agree with the tourney to be a "exclusive" release mechanic, tournies should have just been a fun way to get gear, cash and some stars.
The character release schedule is really what was needed and to implement at the same time. You could spend money OR do well in the tourney etc.
At the end of the day the gear requirements is the big bottle neck anyways. I am so far behind in gearing my toons getting new ones is almost pointless.
