Ok basically you say:

" Those were the rules this year, for the next year CCP might change something."

Show me where these rules were posted and explained. Show me where they told you upfront that only 4 members would be in the silent auction.

Some of you do not get my point apparently:

The system how this is being handled is, was and will be wrong and the result prove it.

For example, fact that an alliance is not in the tournament this year mechanically reduces its chances to be in the next one.

Even if we had put in 100 plexes would still be the same result, only 4 can make it, the rest stays out.

LOTS of players are frustrated that they cannot participate, CCP has to listen to this and change something.

Just have a look at the statistics of active players:55K 18 months ago at its peek, 35K now! The game is constantly LOOSING players which are leaving for various reasons and the just added one, this is a drop of 30%, if it keeps on going, CCP will soon announce staff reduction, less content and eventually shut down the game. 20K average number of players online is not a few!

Being part of an a team that missed getting into A.T 13 through the random draw. We as a Team had to decide weather to just up and quit after weeks of training or bid for one of the four spots left in the silent auction.
While a do agree that the draw was fair I think that ccp could put a system in place that all alliances that enter their names could play in the tournament.
They have shown that they're capable of setting up multiple matches at the same time. Put up entry fee up to 10 - 15 plexes to weed out the free loaders.
Knocking down 90 teams to 64 wouldn't take to long Shocked

after you take the seeding teams out Big smile

while I do believe every alliance have the right to enter you should have the funds for the entry fee Sad

I am of the opinion if the entry fee this year was 15 plexes this post wouldn't have been written and my team would have saved 60 plexes Cry

This year there has been a change to how teams are selected. Teams that achieved the top 16 places in Alliance Tournament XII are eligible to buy into the tournament at 5 PLEX. If you wish to use this option, please have your alliance executor enter the random draw as normal and additionally file a support ticket under Community Management indicating they wish to use this option.

The random draw will have 44 slots this year, plus any unused slots from the top 16 teams. These will be drawn on the 9th of June, with the results announced on the 11th of June at 20:00 on the o7 Show live on Twitch.tv. The silent auction this year will only have 4 slots, open only to those teams that were unsuccessful in the random draw. The results of the silent auction will be announced on June 16th.
