A few matches in this and previous tournaments have been dragged out long after they were effectively over because the winning team wanted to loot the field. While this is entirely understandable and very much in the spirit of the game (especially when a flagship has died or there are expensive drones and ammo to grab), it makes for dull viewing and makes it harder to keep things on schedule. Might it be better to automatically have all loot on the field teleported to the hangar of the winning team's captain at the end of the match? |

Or make an exception to the "no deployables" rule for mobile tractor units. Hah |

Was going to say, MTU. However, the vast majority of the cash left on field is usually in the form of Augmented drones. GÇ£I personally refuse to help AAA take space from itself so it can become an even shittier version of itselfGÇ¥ -Grath Telkin, 2014.

hmm. This would be a nice way to augment the winning team's loot. Teleport it to the Captain's hangar on return to the station that (s)he left from (i.e. i get teleported from Jita, all wrecks and drones on field are auto-looted and returned to my hangar in jita). |

The idea is awesome (and I was gonna post it too) but the longer ended matches are not so hard to watch when the commentators know how to just chat. |

Or alternatively, just allow time after the end of a match for the winning team to loot. A solid minute or two would be fine to get most of the good loot, on the whole. Glory |

it'd slow the whole process down even more. just teleport it to the hangar of the winning team's captain. |

Logically the match can't go over schedule because of looting, since they can't do it past the time limit anyway. If all the matches are scheduled around every match going for the whole time then there should be no issue. |

It's not about the ISK as much as it is about preventing the viewers from getting bored watching the garbage time of the match.
Might as well just corral it all to the winning team |

The only purpose of having commentators for anything is to keep the viewers occupied with interesting stuff to fill in the slow moments in the action.
If you are bored, it's because they are not doing their job.
The looting mechanic is fine. It's the poor commentating that is the problem. Maybe CCP should watch some televised sporting events and learn from them. Find some good pairs that play well off each other and stick with them. Problem solved.
Mr Epeen There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass! |

Agreed Faife. Sakura's idea is useless. |
