What is the thought process behind the entry fee for the AT?
Our team failed to get in via the raffle as did a few other teams, which led me to start thinking about the AT in general and I just couldn't come up with a reason why CCP would choose to alienate the player base based on a entry fee that is biased towards larger alliances with more isk at their disposal.
Would it not be better to allow any alliance to join? it's basically saying to newer and smaller groups of players that you'll never be able to compete, atleast that's how it looks from my point of view.
Can anyone shed light on the situation perhaps I'm overlooking something or being biased somewhat in my opinion?
When i look at other competitive games and their models they are usually open to anyone with qualifying parameters, there would be out rage if you could only play competitive version of these games if you were wealthy in game, especially with a RWT.
TLDR;
NO POORS |

Thanks for taking the time to read and reply to my post.
As someone who really enjoys this kind of gameplay it's a shame that there isn't enough demand for it to warrant further time reducing the workload on your end.
We have been toying with the idea of hosting our own tournaments, so maybe we can improve that demand or cater for some of it.
Once you're forced down the route of limiting the team numbers you're never going to find a fair metric for all, I don't resent ccp at all for their decision I just wasn't aware of the management required, or lack of automation etc.

There are some player-run tournaments already. EVE_NT for example. I don't know the details for any of them however as I don't follow new about them, I simply see them mentioned from time to time.
Thanks for info. Useful for players who might be in a similar situation. |

I think it's not constructive to just bash CCP now we have some information to go by. The best thing we can do as players is to either increase the demand to these types of events, or demonstrate it already exists.
The former can be achieved by hosting, attending or supporting tournaments, tuning in to watch AT and generally getting your corp mates interested in this sort of thing. For the latter, I'm not sure the demand currently exists looking at stream numbers alone.
I think that CCP have shown theyre willing to develop this sort of gameplay, as we saw the amarr tourny earlier. For me personally I'd rather do tournament style gameplay than regular gameplay, as those are the type of fights we try to find in eve. |
