EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

Just to make sure this thread is on top.

CCP, we are actualy playing and paying this game, do not ignore us. Could u please be kind enough to answer questions asked above.

Thanks,

DUH OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE TOO BUSY WITH AT XI. WHO CARES ABOUT UR RL MONEY PAYOUT...

Owait, its mine aswell...

At this point in time I'm beginning to feel that ccp should be throwing in an extra toy as a sorry for being so utterly useless. Time for a big sorry from ccp, a novel ship type would be good. Doesn't have to be AT standard, though that'd be a nice gesture, but something for all the NEO team players who've been waiting all this time wouldn't go amiss.

I've been in touch with few rl friends from team and i can confirm some of them got money this morning. So it's actualy happening. I did not got my cut yet but want to say if there is problem with my bank and for some reason i cannot receive payment, please contact me to arrange payment to one of their accounts.

Havent received payment or any mail from CCP about problems (if there's any) with my bank account info, as Mirkonix said, if you have problems please contact us, so we can arrange to get payed to bank accounts of our teammates who got the payment.
Thank you very much

Confirming I got cash today.

Has everyone been paid out yet?

Good god this entire thread is an absolute shambles and something CCP need to remove immediately and start dealing with this **** privately and professionally, not via a ******* forum.

I chase invoices almost daily in my job and seeing the same old excuses getting spewed out here is just embarrassing for everyone.

"invoices are with finance department but they are busy this time of the month"

"the finance director is away but back next week"

"invoices were sent out but post isn't collected on time"

Im not even one of the people supposedly getting anything but i just cant help but keep checking this awful thread.

What confuses me is why are ccp "issuing" invoices anyway?? That doesnt make any sense... Are you guys having to claim money, and CCP are issuing an invoice for payment on your behalf?? If thats the case you are literally never going to get paid, as even when these invoices go out it'll probably take another 90 days to get paid.

How many times have you been told payment is imminent so far?

I was paid in plexes the day after I sent my e-mail back jass.... so hopefully it will be soon.

Hai guyz, I was looking around the Interwebz for some news about the New Eden Open Prize Money Payment Delay and I came across these news articles on http://www.gameskinny.com written by Mat Westhorpe:

http://www.gameskinny.com/ja18v/new-eden-open-unpaid-tournament-prize-money-investigated/

Seems to me that the way CCP conducted and delayed this prize delivery was very shameful and demonstrated huge lack of professional ethic and business integrity, constantly trying to feed players garbage and excuses in order to not pay, instead of doing the right thing and helping them to provide the information needed to get the prize, if this was, as they claim, the reason for such delay.
As Nikuno wrote in this thread before, the required info by CCP for the bank transfers was:

ABA Number:
SWIFT/ BIC code
Account Number:
Routing Number:
IBAN Number:

Anybody that has made international bank transfers before knows only the IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is required to complete a transaction and all the other info is not really important.
Plus even if the bank you are using for the transfers would require such codes, and the prize winners didn't know how to get them, I believe it would be in the interest of CCP's community representatives to help the players getting this information with their banks, namely by telling them that they need to go to the bank and ask for the codes, or activate e-banking and get them on the bank's website.
But no, instead u get posts like CCP Loxy's "To be very very clear on this point. The invoices must be filled in completely as instructed. We can not chase up information for you. " and more garbage to stall and prevent the payment from being done swiftly.
Now my question to you is: "What do your community representatives do besides scamming the players and spamming devblogs and videos with "Buy more PLEX" events?" Do you actually have someone working for you that is there to act as a real "community representative" and for once defend the community's interests? Or you just hire parrots that rant to the player base sucking their trust with a trap in every word?
