Its $6000 for the winning team so its worse then you have been saying lol



Right, top prize is $6,000. Got the big $10k in my head.

Went back and fixed it, thank you.

$10,000 is split 3 ways among the first 3 teams. That is before taxes.

Read the devblog Cool.


I did. Just a slip.

It only works the argument in my favor.


All this amounts to is paying 30B ISK to "have fun" - the real money value is insignificant. And that means the only people that have expendable money to burn are the null sec alliances. And the only people that will get "Sponsored" by anyone with money are going to be A-Teams that already have an ATX track record.

As someone pointed out, on the ATX Auction, they could barely even sell the last slot. So what makes you think you can do the same thing here?

Sorry, CCP has totally overestimated the amount of Free ISK moving around that would go towards a project like this. You are going to have a hard time filling 32 slots totaling a minimum of 480 Billion ISK, when there were BIGGER prizes, More ISK, more reputation and better rewards for ATX.


I guess we'll find out who's right when we open the bidding. You can go ahead and preserve this post for further discussion at that time based on fact rather than rampant and silly speculation.


Preserved.

And noted.

With half the cost at 10 PLEX, you still didn't fill more than 25 Slots.

I wouldn't have even predicted it was going to be that bad. And, I think the main reason is because you generated so much negative buzz for 20PLEX entry, that other teams weren't even paying attention at the 10 PLEX reduction.

Where I am.
