A game alone can't be competitive, it's the players that make it competitive. Let's take the hunger games for example. It was made to pit teenagers in a death match, but for god knows why they could of had a picnic. You could have a game that's primary basis is to kill your opponent, but what if people chose to work together?
Users in toribash (a majority) play to defeat their opponent. Their *Competeing*. People are fighting to get ahead of the other player, so that should make Toribash competive right?
The way competitive is being used in this thread refers to whether or not the game is suited to competition, not whether people compete. Im not entirely sure if you knew that and were just being awkward by arguing semantics or whether it was a genuine misunderstanding, I suspect the first.

Month 1, a player got into the tourney with just 134 games in the entire month (wins and losses) so 5 games a day, 15 minutes a day tops? Thats not farming or being excessively active as you suggested at all.
There are also quite a few more who played under 150, and yet more under 200 games.
