@SlamaTwoFlags, This is a direct question to you and the entire post is for you. I hope you read this. How would you feel if the World Masters is won due to a lucky roll of Bribery? The highest form of Gwent competition with hundreds of thousands of dollars at stake is determined by whether the player manage to roll and get the exact card he needs and wins (or in the rarest case getting all three bronzes and losing the game, deservedly so)? I don't know about you, but if I were the game director, I would feel terrible and ashamed if such a pure luck based RNG card determines who wins the World Masters of Gwent.
Gwent has many meme RNG cards; Gascon (the self boosting guy), Wheel of Fortune, Uma, Agura True Form, Gascon (the bronze card creation guy who can roll Bomb Heaver and eventually contribute to win) and the Rune Stones. None of this cards is played in Pro Rank because they are just fun meme cards or they have hard ceiling (like Rune Stones, which are played rarely). But none of these cards are tournament worthy. But there is not a single NG deck without Bribery and this is the only pure RNG card which is there is in all NG decks in tournaments.
Bribery has unlimited possibilities and even with all the probability people bring up in the forum, very very rarely only it fails - it even has synergy with Tactic and Assimilate. When it works, it wins the game single handedly. Losing to a game because the opponent managed to roll the exact card (s)he needed by luck/RNG is THE WORST ever feeling in Gwent. Imagine that happening in the World Master finals; the first and the only million dollar Gwent tournament. I know you have your reasons to keep Bribery as it is and I believe it is mostly due to statistics from the data collected (and I sincerely SINCERELY hope that 'it is one of NG's win condition' is not a reason). Please don't see only statistics. Please think logically and emotionally too.
I don't want to suggest any fix. At the very least, you can ban Bribery for the tournament and let only the commoners suffer due to this RNG card. No matter what you do, we love you Jason. I have HUGE respect on you. Your passion to the game is contagious. But, just imagine this: You are sleeping and dreaming of the World Master finals against Kolemon and/or Tailbot (or any other fantastic players) and after 2-2, the last game, the final game which determines who is going to win is happening. And in R3, one of the player has clearly outsmarted and outplayed the other and is going to win. The other player has Bribery in hand and if he rolls one specific card he wins otherwise, there is no way he could win. Now, this player rolls Bribery and gets this card which wins him the game/tournament and the player who played better till now bangs his hand on the table and yells "F************K!" since he lost to RNG.
Now, if this is your dream, would you scream and wake up and catch your breath determined to stop this happening or would you smile lightly, turn back, adjust your blanket and continue your sleep peacefully? Who are you?
