I would agree with this. We need the rules, and we need them soon.


The later the rules get released, the harder it is for smaller alliances to compete. We need to know the rules so we can establish fleets, know the isk levels we need to achieve, know who can fly and who can't, ( time in alliance rules ), and myriad other things.

Releasing the rules late does not equally affect all teams. Large alliances with to all intents and purposes no resource restrictions or pilot restrictions will shrug and move on. I do feel that I can respond in a short period of time to a rules release, but I do know that it will make me sweat more than a big group would.

The other frustration is that this was easily avoidable. Firstly, I am given to understand that Claw left CCP. While I understand that he was a big part of the Alliance Tournament, that was awhile ago, and it should have been possible to slot someone into his responsibilities. Failing that, which I think is a hard thing to do unless you aren't trying, CCP could have just said "we're too busy to modify rules, so we'll go with Alliance Tournament 8 rules", and most of us would have accepted that.


We also do not know other things, like price to enter, how many slots are for random draw, whether there is a buy in, etc.

It is really not acceptable for all of these things to be unknown to us as we near 60 days until launch of tournament. Please get on the ball with this. When I see things like this being left on the wayside until the last minute, even though I truly love this game, I do feel as if perhaps some of the things we enjoy in the game are not considered as very important by CCP.

Apologies if this post seemed harsh. It is something I feel strongly about and something I feel CCP could have avoided, and something I hope they are working to rectify in the next day or so.
