The reaction from i want isk is literally astounding and appears to be a simple attempt to get out of sponsorship commitments? Seems like nash made a good decision or they would just be removing sponsorship if the burgers were too hot at the event or something.
Surely we can all agree that without a defence fleet, the event would have been ****, or more likely, farmed by the rvb/spectre fleet and then the titan killed, instead everyone got an epic fight, with all sides losing and getting kills.
Instead, after not specifying any rules, and not running the event, the sponsor is now annoyed that, the defence fleet had offensive modules- well apologies for trying to provide some content, and putting probably 3x what that titan was worth on the line, in addition to a couple hundred million SP in potential T3 losses. The reaction literally makes no sense and appears to come from someone with grossly unrealistic expectations on how events work in eve, and also what pvp is.
We were frankly amazed to come out on top after the fight, we certainly didnt expect any prize (maybe a few people in fleet were unhappy about that but they don't speak for us)
At the end of it we could have continued farming the rest of the 100s of people on grid but instead basically said, the pvp is over, and invited everyone in local (including spectre/rvb) to come and shoot the titan - anyone of the 800+ on grid could have got the KM but it happened to be one of our guys - **** happens.
Some people in our fleet wanted to get the titan out and save the isk but they were rightly shot down by nassh - the event was billed as a titan smash, the titan had to die, 100s of players had some to see a titan for the first time etc, so we helped it along with the rest of local
PS for anyon who is interested, we staged exactly 0 spare ships in the system, everything was brought in via cyno from sujarento, or via 2 wormholes via derelik from aeschee, while the fight was going on, by some great multi taskers, made easier because of the 10% tidi (too more than 10 mins to warp a carrier onto grid from the station)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask or mail me in here, as for I want isk and EVE_nt, honestly by the conduct i've witnessed in here from iwantisk, including going back on statements multiple times, and a complete disregard of opinions from people who were ACTUALLY THERE, I think EVE_nt will be better for the lack of them. Additionally the whole debacle makes me doubt the legitimacy of their service itself. |
