Lei Fai	Posted - 2011.06.20 06:41:00 - [1] I've read most of the reaction from the player base about the outcome of AT9, and both sides have made some valid points. I'm going to leave my opinion on the matter out of this thread for sake of keeping this constructive. To this point CCP has done a very good job of staying far away from any thread regarding the finals situation. Judging from the amount of resources invested in the event, and the anger from players, id say CCP can't be too pleased. But with no reaction so far i find myself wondering what the official stance on this is around the CCP office. Dev response would be awesome.
Surfin's PlunderBunny Minmatar The Python Cartel.

Emmerik Gallente NED-Clan Goonswarm Federation	Posted - 2011.06.20 06:54:00 - [3] Well CCP knew there were a lot of A and B teams. and chances of serveral matches being rigged we're pretty big.

I agree they probably knew a few matches would be rigged, but i dont think they would have hyped and invested the amount of resources that they did knowing the final would noncompetitive
Emmerik Gallente NED-Clan Goonswarm Federation	Posted - 2011.06.20 07:02:00 - [5] They should try to be more selective on who can/may enter the tournament. Goonswarm for example (aka PL B team), pure shame they got in and "the real Goonswarm" not(Easy for me to say being a Goon, I know!)
Avensys	Posted - 2011.06.20 07:06:00 - [6] We had thrown matches, sold tournament spots, questionable metagaming, ... in previous tournaments. Not sure why people are so upset this time (does it really mater if those last two ships got killed or not? you got to see how the match would have ended without the hero vindicator) but that's all very much within the spirit of EVE (and tolerated as such). If you think the "real" EVE outside of AT is one bit different you have probably never left the rookie NPC corp...

I centainly don't think that... but whould be a much cooler tournament is stuff whould change... and every year there are treads about it on the forums. I did not say Goonswarm Federation is better, did I?

This isnt a whine thread about the match being rigged, tbh it doesn't bother me either way. while you are right it is a perfect snap shot of the community, i still find it to be a little anticlimactic after all the hype this year. I am just interested to here from ccp what they thought about the whole thing.
Arm Smith	Posted - 2011.06.20 07:18:00 - [9] Has to be said was disapointing. but everyone knows the truth that hydra got absolutley spanked off the field. Just ashame they pulled out the 'let us win card'
Acac Sunflyier Gallente	Posted - 2011.06.20 07:26:00 - [10] I don't think CCP's stances is ever going to change. it was cool but it doesn't really need to have an official stance.

Huh? what does it refer to? Also, nothing has been said, so their opinion does not have to change. readable posts only pls Edit: i would **** up punctuation while insulting someone....
cpu939 Gallente Volatile Nature Bloodbound.	Posted - 2011.06.20 07:49:00 - [12] personally i think the ending to this AT was great not only did hyrda and outcome beat the others teams they gave us all tears to swim in

Whitehound The Whitehound Corporation Frontline Assembly Point	Posted - 2011.06.20 08:28:00 - [14] Originally by: Avensys Not sure why people are so upset this time (does it really mater if those last two ships got killed or not? you got to see how the match would have ended without the hero vindicator) but that's all very much within the spirit of EVE (and tolerated as such). If the final match is not a serious fight then you get to watch a sucker fest and not a tournament. It is never fun to watch those who are having fun. Most people want to see a drama unfold and proper fights down to the last bit of hull, and not teams who are padding one another on the back for successfully meta-gaming the tournament and avoiding all drama. CCP should kick out teams who throw matches and ban them for one or two tournaments. Bring back the drama and the need for popcorn! --
Guttripper Caldari State War Academy	Posted - 2011.06.20 08:45:00 - [15] I believe CCP is caught between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, they know their player base consists of adolescent and young adult males acting like prepubescent children tossing herp derp, lololol, and "intnet spaseships iz sereous biznezz" as cool catch phrases. The chest thumping and "my e-peen is bigger than yours beatch" is the foundation of Eve. But on the other hand, CCP wants the appearance of being a professional company with serious goals. Partnering with companies like Sony means CCP wants to play with the big boys; and acting like their core player base just will not cut it in the business world. So in this particular situation, I would not be surprised if CCP remains silent. If they side with their core base, "What a **ing ending - that was bad ass manipulation!", then a current or potential future business partner might question why many of CCP's player base disliked such an ending. Their reasoning translates into disgruntled customers subtly affects the possible buying habits for these partners' goods and services. And if CCP laments to this year's winners just how bad that ending was (and as of this writing sides with what appears to be a majority of dislikes), these same winners and supporters can claim, "WTF CCP - you let us do this ** the whole year so what is one more day?" So I feel CCP will remain silent in this matter. But I could be wrong - CCP could be making a statement as I type this out!
Patient 2428190 DEGRREE'Fo'FREE Internet Business School	Posted - 2011.06.20 08:51:00 - [16] This is EVE. It has happened, it will happen and we should embrace that rather than getting upset. Each terrible thread like this only drives their will to do it even more. Turn your attention to CCP. They decided not to broadcast the pre-qualifier matches , and that the entire studio format was so they could drag developers in to talk about micro-transaction bull**. What an epic, **ing waste of money on their part. Get commentary. Broadcast fights. End of story. ...Then when you stopped to think about it. All you really said was Lalala.

The winner is the winner whether they throw a match or not. This is EVE and underhand tactics should always be expected.

Mysterious Warrior	Posted - 2011.06.20 11:23:00 - [20] What was wrong with final? Laedy is best eve player and mighty Laedy space ship killed all other space ships. Good end to tournament, if laedy hadn't won all battle then tournament maybe still going on and have to listen to boring men talking about alliance tournament still. Glad it over; somehow got full screen and I stuck watching space ships and boring talking all afternoon.

Sir Hillary	Posted - 2011.06.20 11:37:00 - [22] I have no issue with the metagaming going on around the tournament. It wouldn't be EVE without backroom deals going on all throughout. However, the final was disapointing, just because it wasn't much of a match. They knew which team was going to "win" going in to the final, again, I have no problem with that. I just would have been nice if they'd had a proper fight down to 1 ship left on one of the teams, and then self distructed to throw the match if the wrong side was ahead (or something like that). Obvious match fixing remains obvious, but we actually get to see a fight.

CCP Soundwave C C P Alliance	Posted - 2011.06.20 11:53:00 - [23] Originally by: Acac Sunflyier I don't think CCP's stances is ever going to change. it was cool but it doesn't really need to have an official stance. I think you're right, we don't at all need to have a stance and an opinion about matches. We do on the other hand evaluate the ruleset after each tournament, based on those matches. It would be fair to say that up until now, we've been able to have a relatively open ruleset and still provide good entertainment to the viewers. Most things that are left open like this, are left open until someone inevitably crosses the line and you have to revisit that openness. Will we need to revisit the rules based on what happened this year? Probably, but we won't know for sure for another year :)

Get ready for a twist !!!

Rebbecca Black	Posted - 2011.06.20 12:20:00 - [26] I know it was an anticlimactic outcome, but what did you expect them to do.. drop 200 dreads on 50 titans? Oh wait we aren't discussing the end of the NC? So the AT9 had a ton of great fights leading up to an anticlimactic ending?? My bad. These things happen so often in EVE it's easy to get confused. But that's the beauty of it. You're *****ing about one match out of dozens, and it's no surprise that there is meta gaming. In EVE we don't attempt to hide these things, we embrace it. CRY MOAR
Ineka	Posted - 2011.06.20 12:33:00 - [27] CCP done a great job providing this on eve-tv, revues were really nice comments from the "experts" were some times hilarious, CCP dev's and GM's coming out there and give of their personal time to have opened discussions etc was really awesome. We had very good matches, some of those were obviously penalised by meta gaming but nothing can be taken about the winners skill when it comes to fight. What I can say is that their attitude in that last match was like a slap in ccp's face for all they're efforts and to those thousands fans watching and waiting other thing than what we saw. Feel sorry for everyone putting so much effort to offer us nice stuff and that players actions once again, waste the stuff. It's ok, it's eve, someone from one of those teams had the decency to come apologise to the community and that deserves /hat off, not sure some one else would do it. But I'm not sure this will be enough to regain Eve community respect again, and that is sad for every one under those flags. Hoping every one and precisely the participants help CCP improve those rules so this one year event is not wasted any more for so many people.
knobber Jobbler Holding Inc.	Posted - 2011.06.20 12:37:00 - [28] Normally CCP would have the PR machine posting away on Facebook and news sites about how well the tourament went. It's been pretty quiet so far...which is much more telling than any CCP spod replying to a forum post.

Brahan Seer Tea Tactics	Posted - 2011.06.20 13:33:00 - [30] Everyone will have forgotten about it this time next week when everyone will be moaning about something else. Such as EVE. Get over it. They have a whole year to sort out some new rules. Anyway, the final was comedy gold _________- Since 2004
