Man, that sucks..it was fun to watch Pigvomit's videos in the past. Even if they had so many seizure-inducing effects.

i like the part about you guys not reading the rules.

WOW is serious business

Q u o t e:
We are a guild that was screwed because of the arbitrary rules set in place by blizzard in regards to qualification.

---

Arbitrary having the meaning of "adhering to laws concerning contests and competitions in your locale." It's not Blizzard's fault that your locale fails to qualify because of some archaic laws against contests that require any form of purchase to enter. It is not Blizzard's responsibility to educate you in the law. It is your own.

Threads relating to this matter indicating Blizzard stupidity:

---

Yes, it is so stupid for them to take the legal steps to ensure they don't get caught in violation of any laws.

---

Q u o t e:
When blizzard starts to lose guilds that do well in PvP, people are going to start asking why. PvE won't sustain this game very long, at least not for a significant portion of the player populace.

---

Except that PvE has sustained this game from the beginning, since they had well over 2 million players before they even added the Honor System. Nice attempt at prophesy, but reality and precedent disagree.

---

Q u o t e:
Tournament rules came out late, and apparently there are hidden rules.

---

So, you guys decide to enter a contest in which you can find no rules? And we're supposed to sympathize?

---

Q u o t e:
Anyone notice a trend?

---

Yeah, I see a whole lot of people in ignorance of their own locale's laws and attempting to divert any personal responsibility for their failure to know whether they qualify towards Blizzard.

---

Q u o t e:
Blizzard screwed them, and killed my motivation.

---

Yes, it's all Blizzard's fault that non-eligible players that tried to enter the contest are ignorant of their locale's laws concerning contests. Right.

...I don't get how people are failing to understand that they did qualify for the next round, and didn't get an invite, while teams that didn't qualify for numerous reasons (7th place, 3/7 members on the team being from Canada/Vermont) got invites. They're quitting because, as far as they're concerned, Blizzard royally screwed up with this tournament, and are thus expressing opinions that others may have but may not want to vocalize because of asshats giving them the standard troll replies of "QQ more" and "l2*word*".

Q u o t e:


We are a guild that was screwed because of the arbitrary rules set in place by blizzard in regards to qualification.

We had 2 teams top 5 for the majority of the season and the team with the higher rating that was 1st in our battlegroup won't be able to play in the tourny. I'm on the team that was ranked 3rd at the cutoff in our battle cluster, and I very likely won't be playing in the tourny.

I will also not be playing wow anymore when my subscription runs out. This PvP tournament is the worst administered tournament I have ever seen. We have over 20 people from our guild who will be quitting in the upcoming weeks, and the newer members to our guild will most likely move on to other guilds or games.

I would just like to thank Blizzard for killing the PvP draw in WoW for me and my guild. I anticipate other guilds doing the same in the up and coming weeks and months in regards to the way this tournament was administered, because there is honestly no reason to play WoW for PvP anymore. PvE is all this game has left, and I hope Blizzard continues to make improvements there, because I have given up hope for PvP.

Pyre was a top PvP guild in Cyclone, for whatever it was worth, and we had 2 teams who at the time of the cutoff would have made the tournament, and now you will have 0 of our teams playing, even though my team made the tournament after all.

I am posting this to illustrate the effect that poor customer service, capricious and arbitrary rules, TERRIBLE CM responses, and mismanagement of the one true PvP thing in the game has on your playerbase.

I fully anticipate playing Warhammer Online when it comes out, and I hope that they do PvP right, because you guys here at Blizzard surely didn't. I've played this game since Beta, and I am officially done.

I was going to troll you, but I decided you aren't worth it. Enjoy your canceled and revisited Warhammer MMO.

---

Q u o t e:
You don't PvP. Why should I care about your responses? Answer: I don't.

---

That's because you feel that the laws shouldn't apply when it prevents you from getting what you want. Welcome to the real world. Enjoy your stay.

OWNED!

I remember playing against some folks from Pyre back when I was on Darkspear.
Fun games all around.
Cheers, and best of luck to all of you whereever you go.

Q u o t e:
You don't see any real pvp'ers flaming, because they understand what's going on here, they very likely empathize.

---

pvp'ers and empathy just don't go together.

real pvp'ers laugh at your QQ.

I'm sure that your local Senator or Congressman would be the best point of contact if you disagree with your local law regarding competitions and lotteries.

Wake up on the wrong side of the moss today, Birch?

Q u o t e:


I assume you're referring to the rules that are based on the laws and regulations of various US states and non-US countries in regards to competition rules. These are unfortunately not arbitrary, but quite real and quite limiting to those competing. We've done and will continue to do whatever possible to include as many players as we can; however, the local laws that restrict player participation are still laws we have to follow.

I'm sure that your local Senator or Congressman would be the best point of contact if you disagree with your local law regarding competitions and lotteries.

Please stop ignoring the Zizek thread, you know darn well how important your response is to the WoW community.

Thanks

Yeah as if people have time to stop complaining and pouting about a video game to take action in the real world and address actual problems within the country they live...

Good luck getting anyone here in america to do that.

NICE TRY BLUE!!!
