Its pretty easy to not care when your on that side of the fence eh? Don't be that guy. I'd say its completely fair to be requesting an explanation as well as to be upset, people have put a lot of time and thought into preparing for this tournament.

Honestly it has less to do with which side of the fence I'm on as my military background that tells me that's the way it is and get over it. Not trying to be rude on here just stating why he is on the forums, everyone knows he's just trying to get CCP to change their mind by building support on these forums.

If CCP does change their mind and mix everything up from what it is that will say more about CCP than if they just tell him and his corp to get over it and try next time. They are the devs and it's their decision to make, so let THEM make it.

I'm curious as to how your military background has anything to do with this, just as mine does not either. As far as to why I'm on the forums, you are right. I want the decision changed. I will say this though, I won't be in the tourny regardless of their decision. I have to work on the weekends, so already knew that I wouldn't be participating. I care because there is a $10,000 Eve tournament coming up and would hate to see them swoop in at last minute and feel they could change the rules at last minute there too and still have any sort of credibility left.

Then they make another post about them being full on the NA spots, including the reserve slots, and them needing more EU teams. Tritan Industries had already sent in their entry, now they aren't on the list because CCP changed the rules after the fact? Honestly you are only on the forums QQing about it in the hopes of CCP amending their decision, but wouldn't that be going against their rules also, and wouldn't that in turn allow for any corps that get removed because of it to also QQ about getting dropkicked out because of this. Get over it and try and enjoy the game. This does not say anything about CCP's credibility just about your poor ability to receive bad news. I'm sorry you and your corp didn't get in, try again for the next tournament.

EDIT: By saying let THEM make it, I mean send your complaint to them and let them decide from there instead of bringing your QQ onto the forums. You have every right to question them, but that's not the purpose of this thread.

In the military, when you're told to do something you just do it. Also I'll say again if that is your concern then take it up with CCP instead of posting up on the forums about how unfair it is to you and your corp. All you're doing there is trying to stir something up against CCP and there's really no point in that. Don't know what branch you were in but in the Marines you are taught professionalism, and your post here is not professional. Also the EVE tourney is completely seperate from this issue, Dust is still in beta and CCP's Dust team is trying to develop the game as well as come up with interesting things to keep the testers interested. On the EVE side they probably have a seperate team that is in place for events and ideas, so trying to relate the 2 really has no point either.

Saying a forum post asking for an explanation about a game tourney isn't professional is a bit... Let us not ask any questions because it is not professional. Again I will state, ask the question to CCP, don't whine about it on the forums. Never said don't ask questions. Of course if this is your attempt at a troll or to discredit me then have fun with that.

I'd imagine Tritan would like an answer just like STB would. Now shhh. ok EDIT: saw Mister Hunt's post that he has tried other venues to address the issue, so I apologize for my part on this thread.

Besides toddler warfare is fun to watch. EDIT: Also after saying my part before and things being cleared up that the OP has taken other measures as well to approach this with CCP, the rest of your corp has useful things to say in comparison to your response: "We are the best and you didn't want us to steamroll everyone else!" I wonder if your corp appreciates this type of representation?

I personally respect STB for the great teamwork and gun game. And i have faith in the fact that other teams would say such about Tritan. I was personally grinding SP the past two an a half weeks to try to do the best for my corp just in case I was on the roster for this tournament. Having said that, it seems unfair to kick a corporation out of the tournament when said corporation had sent in the application in plenty of time. I know it had to be in time because our CEO had sent in the Application before i had even logged in to learn about the tournament....However im just being a broken record of everything that has been said. But if the top tier teams didnt get in, that just means the REAL tournament will be taking place on the skirmish maps and the ambush maps. As sake stated, i would be more than happy to participate in practice corp battles for the teams that did make it into the tournament. Good luck to you. What is your definition of top tier teams? Honestly this part is quite frustrating, if you want to argue that you think you sent in the tourney application before others and want timestamps etc. then argue that. But claiming that your corp is the best and that's why YOU should be in is just plain wrong. Especially when the rules were first come first served. In Zion as a whole we don't have the best overall average, but we have players as good as any others just like other corps. I'm sure this is the case for many other corps too, so before you claim to be part of the elite wait until after you face the best of each. The REAL tourney is going on everyday, you win some, you lose some and learn from it. Some top tier teams made it, and others did not. It will be fun playing against those in the tourney, and it will be fun playing against the others either in corp battles or in future tourneys.
