Should I even bother petitioning ?
It sounds like you designed this rules change (with no warning) specifically to keep me from flying on the team I've been captain of in 10 previous CCP tournaments. |

My home alliance is Dystopia, just because one of my chars is in PL most of the time doesn't make it my home alliance, nor have I ever had anything to do with their alliance or NEO or SCL teams.
Most of my characters are in Dystopia, the alliance I actually run. |

Maybe if I only had one account.

I'd rather continue to fly the character I've been a team captain on in 12 previous tournaments. (including SCL)
But thanks for your totally not trolling advice. |

This character has been a team captain in 9 previous Alliance Tournaments, 2 SCL tourneys and the NEO, something wrong with wanting to continue using the the character people associate the most with my teams ?
I have good characters in Dystopia, not sure why you seem to think all my good ones are elsewhere, but some characters are better than others for specialized roles so one doesn't always use the same one for every match, and just because they're good doesn't mean I should be forced to use one of them over this one.
Previously CCP gave you advance notice so people could move their chars around, they didn't give any warning that they were going to be dicks about it this time, which will affect a great many teams, most of which are actually worth having in the tournament, f.i. DHB Wildcat, and I'm sure this'll affect Seldarine. |

Yes I do, your often repeated opinion that I don't have a problem is incorrect. (Obsessed much?)
CCP Fozzie even acknowledged it in his reply to me that they immediately thought of how it would affect me personally when they were making this rules change.

Actually if all these players have the same attitude, and sense of entitlement that you have, then to be honest, I think the tournament will be all the better for it.
That's just your ignorant and very biased opinion, sounds like you haven't even seen one of these before ? Tourneys in the past have almost always been better for having my teams competing, same with other tournament veterans who will be excluded by this rule like DHB Wildcat. |

None of those are anywhere near as good as the alliance tournament , NEO was pretty much garbage and SCL is only really good as practise for the CCP tournaments so yes that isn't enough high level esports opportunities
Alliance Tournament is also the only one with prizes worth a significant amount.
But hey at least this rule makes it easier for PL to finally reclaim its tourney throne ;P |

I agree SCL 3 was very competitive, probably more competitive than this alliance tournament is going to be, in part because of this rule change. - However hardly anyone watched it and the prize pool was tiny compared to the Alliance Tournament's
Like 4x as many people watched my EVE/HoN gambling match as watched SCL 3..
I do want to see SOLAR, Red Alliance, Goonswarm, TEST Alliance etc competing, but I also want to see teams like Verge of Collapse and Goggle Wearing Internet Crime Fighters, established teams that are heavily affected by this unannounced change. (and Dystopia)
NEO was basically a joke, and even if they had actually paid out the 10k then that's nothing compared to 100 limited issue ships.
PS; Did you forget PL did win SCL 2 btw ? :) |

2005-2007 ACTUALLY get it right thanks ))
Seriously tho I haven't asked for any pandering to my whims, I just dislike their changing of the rules in this manner, it is lame and apparently they were thinking about me as they did it. -_________-
So sorry for wanting to fly on my own team without being in my main alliance on all my chars all the time.
This change adversely affects some of the best teams (not talking about my team since it isn't one of the best, but we are consistently entertaining and never one of the worst)
This reduces the quality of the tournament by making it less competitive, great for Shadoo and team PL, not so great for the audience nor many of the tournament veterans. |

I got the impression I'd been thought of and therefore won't be allowed to compete, but I could be wrong. |

I won't fly with PL's AT team because I want to win with my own team - which I've been fielding since the first alliance tournament,
Also because PL was way too dominant in the alliance tournament when I originally joined them for some fun pew pew, woulda felt like a lame winning team joiner if I abandoned my old team to join theirs.
Soldarius wrote:Stop complaining about how "unfair" this is, when it perfectly fair, and a far sight better than what has happened the the last couple ATs.
CCP had established a precedent of giving advance notice of when the cutoff date for membership was, this time they pulled the rug out from under everyone preparing for the tournament by not doing so.
There's nothing fair about it, so complaining about it is perfectly reasonable.
CCP should let us know before they make major changes to the tournament, hell maybe even discuss things with their players / CSM / participants. |

I know that wasn't its purpose, simply pointing out that changing from having some warning as it's always been in the past over to "petition us and we might let you join your team" isn't particularly "fair" as the above poster was claiming.
All the cutoff did was discourage, not specifically prevent - which was a good thing for the competitiveness of the tournament, it meant people who were actually serious about the tournament could still do their thing if they were willing to make the sacrifice of their team in forming teams like Seldarine's , DHB Wildcat's and basically helping every team that isn't like PL or GoonSwarm and might actually need to do some moving around to be capable of fielding a competitive team.
As for your sympathy wasn't aware you had any for anyone ever so that's not saying much ;O |
