Anyone else find it a tad unfair that they have prizes for the "Realm Conqueror" yet not for second place?  If first ends up on 50 points and second on 49 it hardly seems fair that first runs off with everything while second may as well have just got the 10 points then never shown up again... Where is the motivation for others to keep playing Realms once they qualify?

I like the points system but they really need to either add more prize support or just spread the existing prizes out over a top five at least (depending on how many people are participating).

Also why is the prize the same for the SINGLE person who wins Blasted Lands (Australia, population 22 million) as the SINGLE person who wins Netherstorm (Singapore + Thailand + Malaysia + Indonesia, population 332 million)?  I can understand there wouldn't necessarily be the same number of players per capita in those countries but it still seems frightfully unfair...

So it's unfair if only the team that wins the World Cup get's a trophy? I think for an event like this (which isn't really an event but for those skilled players that like to travel in order to promote the game) having just a first place is fine.

This isn't a world cup... If you're going to compaire it to that this would be the qualifiers to it... It's like giving one team a major advantage for coming first and everyone else gets nothing... I'm not disagreeing that first should get the majority, afterall they did come first, I'm just saying it's not right for the others who put in a massive effort to get nothing.

After all isn't this meant to encourage the "pro" players to show up to more than a single qualifier in a season?

Did I miss something or is there EA, Deckbox and Booster support, plus entry in the Realm Championships, for doing well at Realm Qualifiers? This is just a bonus, I'm not entirely sure why you're complaining although I'd hazard a guess that it's because you always lose out at qualifier level to the guy in your area that 5-0s these things for breakfast.

Actually no... I'm currently ranked first in my realm... I just find it unfair to have it an all or nothing system...
