EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1357378#post1357378

To TL;DR that thread

"Yeah, a senior member of the rules enforcement team told you that what you were doing was okay but we're going to yank the rug out from underneath you and ban you anyways".

CCP, just shut your face, admit you were being stupid, unban HYDRA and treat 0utbreak as a normal B-Team. You're just making yourselves look like idiots again.

Can I make love to you?

No homo.



But yeah, pretty much what I have been spamming everywhere.

As usual I agree with DHD.

Except Hydra. is the B team and Outbreak. is the A team. Ban Hydra. let Outbreak. in.

If you think you might be breaking the rules, you shouldn't get caught doing it, because you probably are.

Your 10 PLEX don't count

I like how he doesn't mention far more detailed email & email follow-up we've sent directly to the AT team.

looks like CCP classic incarna edition

"One would assume that were I someone with the knowledge that special rules were drafted specifically because of how I gamed a system I’d be extra careful about it. Instead of doing so the players in this instance chose to engage in the exact same behavior and given that the result last year was absolutely unacceptable to us we have no other choice but to enforce the rule we wrote specifically to deal with this exact specific scenario. When one knowingly goes against that they have nobody to blame but themselves really and that is our stance on this matter. That was and remains our final ruling on the subject and we will not be engaging in any further discussion of the matter. (Unless of course someone pulls yet another petition out of a hat I guess )"


Well his tone and spite is a disgrace. If he worked for me, he'd be looking for work this afternoon.

This is so true it's not even funny. A major alliance felt that they would be able to get past the rules, but when CCP caught them A LOT of people who like hydra and outbreak started whining and crying. Personally I feel that they did provide some entertainment and now that they are out, someone else will have to fill that. But maybe this is a good thing. That just means more room for possible underdogs. We will see how it goes. But I feel that CCP followed what they said

To ensure that all Alliances get a fair opportunity to participate we will be checking on team entries and will disqualify teams who we consider to be 'B' or 'C' teams for bigger Alliances.

they didn't follow the rules and CCP dropped the hammer. Maybe next year hydra and outbreak will follow the rules instead of disregarding them. And whether or not it's because CCP or someone is holding a grudge is irrelevant, rules are rules. NO ONE would have complained if these were smaller, lesser known alliances.

CCP have changed their tone now. Suddenly they agree with what was said but this wasn't what was really happening.

I don't think CCP realise that by trying to stop a performance of the (in my opinion horrible) final of AT9, they've managed to make ATX so much worse. And they're just digging themselves into deeper holes with responses like the one above.
