Your complaints are like when in some moba, a healer character kills an enemy player, and their own teammates call them a cheater because frags should be made by damage dealers. What a cute little kitty with a door.
Okay, my point anyway is that it's better to live in harmony than in discord.

-- Oh! -- a smile appears through the thick, light mustache of the northerner when Cassius boasts about his sword. -- Indeed, this sword has a special soul. There is no other like it, and there will not be. Its soul is not like yours: it is the silver light of the moon, the snow that illuminates the path at night, you are madness, darkness, a dark man. But it will be your friend, for darkness cannot exist without light. This sword will not betray you.

- In Shabete, there was a huge arena where Agnet shamelessly kited with an archer. And then he froze him with an item he had acquired earlier (basically, stolen). UNFAIR, UNSPORTSMANLIKE, HOW CAN HE GET AWAY WITH THIS?
- In Ertenia (or wherever I played as Osamu, in that setting), everything was fine until he was killed by a Chinese player with hidden unique skills that weren't available to other players. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE, WHAT KIND OF CHEAP TRICK IS THAT? UGH.
- In Novaru, a participant won who had been drawn by an artist as the future winner even before the tournament ended. THE JUDGES ARE BRIBED, EVERYTHING IS RIGGED, THE JUDGES SHOULD BE PUNISHED.
- In RI1, Tsukiko managed to survive the dungeon where the mortality rate was over 50%. Naturally, she leveled up. When she wanted to participate in tournaments, the players complained that she was too strong and told her to go die immediately in the second tournament, where it's tough even without additional leveling. As you remember, she wasn't a mage at all; she just had good cards, and that's unfair.
- In RI2, a tournament-style competition among friends and NPCs took place while Tsukiko was forced to be offline because only she had the free will to deal with random encounters (and suffer the consequences).
- In RI3, Xenomia and Eli caught some bandits, and Eli decided to kill them. Both of them were locked up right during the inter-school competition.
- In Serberia, I didn't even try to participate in the tournament. I tried in free battles and lost to the first opponent. WHY DO I HAVE TO PLAY WITH NEGATIVE CARDS, AND THE NPCS ARE USING THEM? WHY ARE AGGRESSIVE BUILDS SO MUCH BETTER AND WIN EASILY, WHILE A TANK IS DOOMED?
- In Sakura, the weapon I randomly chose turned out to be one of the weakest at low levels (only at low levels, but you still have to survive until high levels). I had to rely on pistols to be in the middle of the pack in the tournament (which was mandatory and very important for further progress). AND THE NPCS JUST TAKE THE BEST WEAPON RIGHT AWAY, MAX IT OUT, AND THEY'RE FINE.
- Finally, in AA, Ayano had an overpowered painting, bought with change from a hundred million, that was supposed to weaken enemies summoned from other worlds... But instead, it only worked as a Chekhov's gun in the tournament, where the only otherworldly beings were Erefir and the Fragments. WHAT KIND OF PLAYER-VERSUS-PLAYER GAME IS THIS, WHERE IS THE SPIRIT OF FAIRNESS, JUSTICE, AND TEAMWORK?!

-- Don't worry, he won't forget you... Guys like that don't forget anything – their self-importance makes them believe that any gesture towards them is as significant as their very mysterious, gloomy, and unusual personality, -- Gunnlaug returns to the orchestra. -- It's a good melody, by the way. The battle is no worse than a dance, and it also needs a suitable accompaniment.
-- I bet on you, by the way, and you lost.
-- Well, you're a real idiot... -- the northerner grumbles as usual, but can't hide the fact that he's pleased about it.

-- You can't throw fire, but he probably can. I've been to so many Tournaments, and this is the first time I've seen it.

One morning, Zurich gave a potion to Gauthier, two to Hargen in exchange for his cooperation in the research, and the remaining one she gives back to Gauthier. - Please, drink this vessel to the bottom. It will help you feel better.

- I won't miss it. If I can't win in a stamina contest against mages and tin cans, I need to end the fight in the first round. - The hermit, breathing heavily, wipes drops of sweat from his forehead. - I was trained; they drilled that bookish knowledge into me more thoroughly than any punches to the face. So, what?

Cassius looked at the northerner with narrowed eyes. - You see through swords. And people too... - In gratitude for the information, the Legranian gives the man one silver coin. "Hmm, Light in the Darkness - that's your new name," Aurelius thought, examining the sword again. After that, Cassius went to look at the slaves.

I'm already confused about who gets what and when.

- I doubt I'll ever see him again. Well, it's not a big loss, since he didn't fulfill his task, - his shoulders express indifferent shrugging. - We were all rooting for you, colleague. To go into a knowingly unequal battle while intoxicated, against those who have devoted their lives to crushing each other instead of doing something more productive... I suppose... that's also a kind of courage? - something that started as a statement ended on a questioning note. - You may have warmed up one of the female hearts in the audience.

What else is planned for them this week by those in power?

-- I knew you would return, -- the slave trader nods respectfully. -- You fight well, and it's not good when such a warrior has no slaves. The most expensive one is 4 gold, just to remind you, but we can find good options for two.

– I think that nobles have all sorts of fencing treatises and other nonsense, but I haven't seen anything similar for fist fighting?

A soldier with Shield 3 moves.
A soldier with a halberd 1 moves.
A soldier with a halberd 3 moves.
An archer throws a vial of acid at Rigobert: holy protection.
A pikeman attacks Rigobert: holy protection.

Oh, this Reven, even in someone else's game, he's thinking about how to kill my character. There's some kind of special attitude...

Why kill right away, maybe just dominate instead.
