Develop customer support, because as it stands, CCP has none. I can not think of any other video game company that would repeatedly not respond to emails about a certain issue, feign ignorance about any emails and then condemn a Senior GM for actually responding (Supposedly incorrectly) to yet another email on the same issue. It is a wonder of the modern world how such a business model has left with you any players at all.
The fact of the matter was you weren't getting into AT10 no matter what you did. If the actual players from Hydra/OB joined other alliances they wouldn't get in. If Hydra/OB completely rebranded themselves as new alliances they wouldn't get in. If Hydra/OB COMBINED themselves into a single alliance just to legitimately apply to AT10 they probably still wouldn't get in. After what you did last year I don't think many people really want to watch you fight. Sure you guys are really good (you won after all), but it's not worth it. Someone almost as good will take your place and it will have a better chance of being legitimately entertaining. |

If it were true to EVE, they should let it play out as it is like all other events.
To be fair, I think they should let either Hydra or Outbreak in the AT, they put in 8 hours a day, 5 days a week into practising (Which by the way, you guys REALLY need to find something else to do than just this. This is obsession beyond measure), while communication between CCP and them have been vague at best.
Yes they sort of ruined last year's finals, but they did it legitimately. Let it play as it would say.
But after this year, do not have another official EVE alliance tournament.
Yes, it's quite fun to watch and prizes are good, but with it's artificialities goes against what EVE is as a sandbox game.
If you're going to have an alliance tournament in the future, put it in the hands of the players, maybe even the CSM or something, or elect another council to organise it rather than Devs etc.
Player sanctioned prizes and all.
Finish this one by handing out the Caldari ships and be done with.
The Alliance Tournament is not Eve. If it WERE the sandbox they would allow us to move in and interrupt the fight. It's completely separate. That means whatever rules CCP wants to put in.

I've paid for watching those great videos. I loved the way you fought and I think you were the best of AT9. But I still think that YES - rules do apply differently because of the **** you fed me last year, and YES - it's fair to punish the two teams for that. I was genuinely excited for the whole AT9 and rearranged my work to see the finals, just to see that crap you guys gave us. IMO, while I'm a fan of yours, you get what you deserve.
I concur. You can sit at least one out. People and organizations alike pay for mistakes, even if it wasn't anyone's fault (which it was). |
