- Reason we joined the same corp in the TEST server was because of wormhole logistics. No one considered that a logistic technicality in the TEST server would suddenly be bannable when training together was not. And I don't understand Raivis comments when he says we made a mistake doing it, as we had been very open with CCP and told them we would practice together unless being told that we can't.
First, let me start by saying I respect what you guys do. You are serious no bullshit PVPers who crush the vast majority of people who wander across your path. The help that you've(Genos) offered to the community interested in PVP is commendable despite what happened at the end of EIE.
All that aside, let's not beat around the bush here. The no B team rule may has well have read, "Hydra and 0utbreak can't s*** up ATX again by rigging the final." Why in the name of unholy F*** you guys decided to not only practice with each other in the test server, but potentially be seen as actively thumbing your nose at CCP by joining the same corp to do it absolutely boggles my mind. How did it never cross your minds to actively stay away from each other in build up to ATX?? I understand that you're pals and you respect each other, blah blah blah. You MUST have realized the rule was made SPECIFICALLY targeting your two alliances. IMHO, sniggardly just got caught in the crossfire, and had they not been announcing the news of your ban, snig may not have caught one at all. And, let's be honest, PL was never going to get hit with a ban here (it also helps when your ceo is chairman of CSM).
GMs have been hilariously wrong in the past and CCP devs DO. NOT. ABIDE. BY. GM. RULINGS. EVER (see AHARM v RnK). I just do not understand the thought process to make you guys think that you would be totally golden not even TRYING to maintain a semblance of separate alliances in the build up to the tournament. I understand that it sucks. The tournament will not be the same without both alliances. It will lose some of it's luster. I hope that you guys come back to ATXI with a vengance. But you have to realize that this is completely on your head. CCP said here's the line. Not only did you guys say, "cool, we'll stay WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY the f*** away from the line", you started playing f'ing jump-rope with it. |
