Please align Mythic Limited qualification rewards with Limited events
The current Arena qualification system allows players finishing Top 250 on either the Constructed or Limited Mythic ladder to earn entry into the same following Qualifier Weekend, regardless of its format.
This creates a strange disconnect between the competition used to earn qualification and the competition players qualify for.
For example, a player can spend an entire ranked season competing in Limited, finish among the Top 250 Limited players on Arena, and then receive qualification for a Standard event. Conversely, a Constructed player can qualify through Constructed and be sent into a Sealed event.
Limited and Constructed have separate ranked ladders because they test substantially different skills. The qualification system should recognize that distinction.
I would suggest one of the following approaches:
- Limited Top 250 finishes earn qualification toward an upcoming Limited Qualifier Weekend, while Constructed Top 250 finishes earn qualification toward an upcoming Constructed Qualifier Weekend.
- Allow Top 250 players to bank their Qualifier Token and redeem it for an upcoming Qualifier Weekend of their preferred format.
- Give qualifying players a choice between immediate entry into the next Qualifier Weekend or an equivalent qualification reward that can be used toward a future event.
This would make pushing for Top 250 more meaningful for format specialists and would ensure that success on a ranked ladder leads to an opportunity to compete using the skills demonstrated on that ladder.
I am currently competing for a Top 250 Limited finish, and discovering that the reward for doing so is entry into a Standard qualifier substantially reduced the value of that achievement for me. I would much rather have the opportunity to use a Limited qualification earned through Limited play in a Limited competitive event.
Please consider separating the Limited and Constructed qualification paths, or making Qualifier Tokens format-flexible.
