Why are on topic posts, describing what happened during the auction being silently taken away?

Does CCP have a Night and Fog policy going on?

Why am I being censored for making a reasonable suggestion and commenting on the fact that the result of the latest auction including no-one being willing to take the last slot?

Is it now standard CCP policy to censor on topic views that they disagree with?

No one bid on the last slot because it is rightfully the defending champions'.

Give it to Hydra/Outbreak as a unified team.

Make for a better level of competition.
Show that you don't hold a grudge.
Show that there is no dev favouritism.
Make ATX a better viewer experience.

I guess this way the "Likes" those posts received are all hidden. I remember seeing them at 6+, oh well.

I don't understand this moderation at all. Could anyone from CCP clarify it?

Lol, people claiming that they didn't take the last spot because "it rightfully belonged to whoever" are full of it. There were just no more alliance executors or team captains present to bid. Everybody who had bid on spots at any point in the auction had gotten theirs already, and alliances like CVA had thought that 40 was gonna be the consistent price and had not shown.

I keep losing more and more respect for these arguments as they continuously warp facts and change their claims to make them sound better.

Did you asked them or you are just assuming it is the case? Cool

I was right there watching, so no, I'm not assuming this is the case. Other team captains I know had talked to these guys and they blew it off because they didn't think they could get a spot for as cheap as they wanted. If somebody had "righteously" given up a 10 plex spot because of their "e-honour" it would stand that we would have seen them bidding earlier, and then refrained at the last moment, but all the bidders got spots.

Im sure that all the people willing to pay 10 plexes for the lottery were just unwilling to pay the same 10 plexes in the auction.

The problem is that they weren't there. Even if they wanted to "leave the last spot out of honour" they could have snagged a spot for dirt cheap in the 5 preceding spots. People would have loved to have bought a spot for 10 plexes, but everybody there that could bid already had a spot. There were literally no eligible bidders.

Still dont get how you think they deserve to be in the tournament they made a mockery of it lost year, and they keep saying "we have invested hundreds of hours in training for the tournamant" you may well have but im pretty sure no matter how many hours you have invested in training im pretty sure the Devs/GMs have invested 2x maybe 3x as more time and alot more effort to set the torunament up.

And you guys just slapped the whole thing in their faces last year, im surpirsed they even ran the risk of involving you guys in it this year, and the fact you have done nothing different except send a few e-mails to the CCP staff this year, do you really think there willing to take the same risk all over again for what could possibly have the same outcome?

hmm

There were multiple alliance executors there that didnt bid. Maybe you had the channel on recent speakers mode only?

Those were alliance executors that either had a spot, or were not interested in competing at all. If all these guys wanted a spot, but refrained out of reverance, why didn't they try for it when it was only 11 plex and there was still a spot left for them to leave open?

Anyone who seriously believes people refused a 10 plex slot in protest for Hydrabreak really doesn't know the eve community at all.

You are right. The eve community is willing to spend 10 plexes for a chance at being in the AT, but not willing to spend 10 plexes to get into the AT

Top notch question dodging broski. I'll ask again: If all these guys wanted a spot, but refrained out of reverance, why didn't they try for it when it was only 11, or 10, or 15 plex and there was still a spot left for them to leave open?
