The game is a Korean game. In Korea they have lots of nobles per class so it's harder to be done. I don't see them changing anything - and tbh - it wasn't hard to see it was going to happen a month ago.....
It still sucks that the same old people you see getting PL'd by "the unsaid ones", the same old people you see buying vitual goods, are the same old people still up to thier old tricks, exploiting what can be exploited and winning.
Why can't they just say "hey, time to let honest people win for a change."
I mean come on.......the title is hero. There is no way I want to call someone who exploited the tournament a hero....maybe change the name or something to elitist or something, but not hero.
So, how will a healer get hero if there is nobody who would help him with it for example? Being hero is not only being the right class but it has something to do being picked by the other noblesse people. Who they wanna see as a hero.
And I would really like to know who you are talking about when you say they ebay and getting powerlvl:ed.
There is of course not much that can be done to stop people from fixing Olympiad matches. If they were monitored (a large task) they can still be fixed, just in less dramatic ways than standing there as a Cardinal kills you.
Unfortunately the game developers cannot give everyone who plays this game morals, honour or respect and as a result you will always have groups of people lacking these things doing what they do.
It's a shame to see that among the first heroes on some servers will be farmers who have done nothing but cheat in order to make money. However, many of the player heroes also behave in the same way so it's best just to ignore most of the heroes completely.
It's a shame NC lets heroes use their hero weapons even on their subclasses. If you become a hero for your class you should at least play it more than one hour a week which is spent killing players who let you win in the olympiad competition.
I wonder how many melee heroes we will see running around with hero bows/mage weapons on their subclasses.
The system has a great deal of potential, it will only be realised once the real populace catches up and gets Noblesse status in order to compete.

How does a healer get hero??????
Talk to Nya, or KatjatheMystic on Hinde. Both are Hierophants, and I would hate to face either one in 1v1 pvp.
I still wish that the hero thingy would get posted so I could see which one made Hero Elephant.
So, how will a healer get hero if there is nobody who would help him with it for example?
When did a healer need help in killing another healer? If there were more high lvl healers, they could duke it out with each other, as it was meant to be. No need to fix fights.
Teon had "arranged" fights too in a way. 2 Different alliances in war with each other, so the others fought only with their own ally and left the other allys nobless without matches, thus ensuring that they didnt get the hero status >.>
Welcome to a really stupid means of selecting Heros. Come on, they have classes that can't PVP at all, what do you expect?
The first 6 or so months of the Olympiad will be fixed fights, get over it.
The real problems is the number of botted up characters that won, and are now "heros". It's close to 40% on our server. Pretty sad.
Only 40%? You're lucky. On my server it's approximately 78% (7/9).
Regardless of how many people from any given class are competing, the matches shouldn't be fixed. It defeats the whole object of the competition.
You are supposed to win matches and earn your Hero status. If you are the only Healer eligable then that doesn't mean people should let you win. It means that becoming a Hero for you is very hard until there is opposition.
The idea behind the whole Hero thing is that of a competition where the best person wins and earns his title. Being the only runner in a race doesn't mean you get first place.
The fixing by alliances to stop their enemies getting any matches and any behaviour like that just serves to ruin the competition further.
Hopefully the whole thing will be better in several months, but I think it wont be working as intended on these servers until around C5.
You can choose open class or closed class, actually. Its designed that healers fight in closed class, but due to the lack of noblesse they are forced into open class, broken design for the small NC player base if u ask me, might work fine in korea but we just dont have sufficent numbers here.
On kain, the ee in my clan has full majestic set, +3 bow, and an arcana mace. The ee who won has bw, and a homonkulus. The other ee said she didnt want to fight our ee cause she had no chance to win at all. Her clan has 5 people in the olympiad. When 6 people sign up, and 5 are from her clan, it is easy to get lots of points.
Also that you need something like 5 or 6 of the same class to do the class tourny is bs. It will be half a year before more then a couple classes have that number of people competing.
A Hierophant is not a healer. That's like saying a stormscreamer is a healer because they do get heals at some point. Well not that extreme but still. A cardinal for example, is not going to kill anyone other than a healer unless the other person goes afk for the entire time. Or goes naked, and weaponless, either way. :/

The problem isn't really population on our servers. The problem is that we are about one year worth of playtime behind the Korean servers. We are getting content we can't always use right away because we got the game later than they did.
As a result of this many people on our servers feel a need to level faster and faster, this is probably where the popularity of cheating arises on our servers compared with Korean servers.
If you factor in that extra year of gameplay you'll have many many Noblesse on all of our servers and a great deal of competition in the Olympiad. Simply put, we have the Olympiad competition too early on our servers.
It will eventually be fixed as time goes by. Until then we will have to deal with the current farce of the Olympiad. Like so many things in the game it would be brilliant if not for less desirable players.

So very wrong. By the time everyone catches up, there will be something new for the small few to do. Once again the cycle will just start over with the very few doing the things we all want to do. It will never be fair, and always be very challenging. Hence why most of us play. Every chronicle there will always be some new thing everyone wants so bad, but will not get till the next chronicle after, the small select few will always get it first and hold it for 6 months or so.

Oh yes I agree, I nearly added that in C5 something new will come along that is ahead of the great majority of our playerbase.
There is no problem with people being ahead or behind, this is always going to happen in any mmog simply because of time. Some people might play more than others and therefore end up being ahead. People being ahead of others only arises as a problem if they got there through cheating. Aside from that I love difficult to achieve goals and things to strive for, it gives many a purpose to everything and something to hope for.

This statement is so true. On my server all but 1 hero is from the same alliance. The alliance with the most and highest lvl toons. With all the best gear. But as they quickly learned hero's are tough but not invincible.
On kain, the ee in my clan has full majestic set, +3 bow, and an arcana mace. The ee who won has bw, and a homonkulus. The other ee said she didnt want to fight our ee cause she had no chance to win at all. Her clan has 5 people in the olympiad.

like all other "events", it sux everything ever made by NCSoft is either exploiteble or so lame you can't have a name for it.
why do we even pay for this game its all farmers/bots anyway on every server, Now botter heros lol what the hell do we gona get next.
i don't care about it so much now cus there is no soul in the world that can change the way it is now in game, but it feels darn good to say it how it is in game. ^^
let the hero's be hero's, like i give a .... "i won't say or type it ^^"
to all none cheated/botted/fixed hero's GRATZ, oops none left to congratz, ohwell :)
Like a friend of mine said: "Completing some stupid NCsoft quest doesn't make you a hero." So let them run around shining. We all know who the real "gameheroes" are.
