What are your opinions on the recent move, of selling an Alliance Tournament match in the open? Should it be allowed, probably opening the way for even more matches being sold? Or forbidden, at least forcing the deals to be made under the scenes?

In the second alliance tournament qualifier match, Hydra had wiped out all but one ship of the opposing team (Agony), at which point they made the offer to suicide all their ships in exchange for 3bil ISK.
Some dealings went on, Hydra committed suicide, Agony won the match. In doing so, Agony suddenly had lots of points to go into their next qualifying match, since they had won, but so did Hydra since they had wiped out all but one of Agony's ships (with ease). So Hydra earned a bunch of money, got a whole slew of points, and also made sure that in their next qualifying match, they'll come up against another "loser" team (and considering the ease with witch they nearly-won-but-then-accidentally-all-exploded, they should have no problems with such a match) which means that, combined with the points they got from the first match that they "suddenly" lost, they'll should have a pretty easy time going on to the quarterfinals.

I have no problem with what happened because it wasn't against the rules. Besides; even if it IS against the rules, there is no way to prevent it from happening. This is part of Eve, and I can guarantee you that this is not the first time it has never happened. It was just a little more blatant than usual. |

Dude, I dont know if the match was sold. But if it did, AGONY did not buy it. We got our collective asses kicked good by an awesome HYDRA team, but what happend next was very bizzare. Here is the complete chatlog:

I don't see a problem with that at all. There is no guarantee that their next opponent will be worse than if they had won. Maybe a good team this week will have most of their team on vacation next week, maybe they are saving their good setup for next week or maybe a really good team lost a tough match and will be a tough opponent next week.
You can game your position all you want, it could be beneficial or it could bit in the rear. It is their choice and I don't see why it should be changed. - It's not "Play through a pre-set story, become stronger, do endgame". Gameplay is open ended, and you make your own story. Unless you're too afraid of 'pvp grief' to do anything relevant |

Losing a match should be made less benefical maybe, but otherwise I don't see anything "wrong" in that match.
I suspect next tournament will have some point system changes or something.

Stuff like this is why I play EVE. Brilliant tactical rules-lawyering by Hydra, even if they didn't get paid.

This is EVE. You learn to expect a certain level of dishonourable conduct going on behind the scenes.
Personally, I had been running the tournament I'd have disqualified the Hydra team not for the offense of throwing a match, but for getting caught in the act.

They're not doing it for the love of the game, they're doing it for the better part of a trillion isk worth of unique HACs. This seems perfectly acceptable to me, except for the part where I'd probably have charged more.

This was a brilliant move on HYDRA's part; I'm sure they made out like bandits even despite the BIG lottery shutdown, and they move on to the next part of the tournament in excellent shape to still possibly win.
Bravo for being such an excellent example of what extent of strategic freedom is inherent in EVE, Hydra.
Regarding high-sec mining:
Originally by: AmarrettoDiAmarr 3-4 million ISK/hr is perhaps .15 0r .20 US$/hr; not quite prison wages and you are around less honest people.
