At that point I stop caring and go elsewhere unless somebody I know is on a team.<br /><br />Maybe the new in-game camera will make this better?Wilhelm Arcturushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033496821708933394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-10856041362794250002016-01-20T13:06:18.076-05:002016-01-20T13:06:18.076-05:00The AT tournament has value - to EvE player retent...The AT tournament has value - to EvE player retention. The corruption issues stem 100% from eve players simply being eve players, the min/max attitude of winning at all costs. The corruption is directly related to the in-game value of the prizes. Simply put, the prices should not provide tournament play benefits or even eve pvp benefits.Knug Lidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168621175894976018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-21531627946073249272016-01-19T17:46:35.389-05:002016-01-19T17:46:35.389-05:00"What's so special about that size anymor..."What's so special about that size anymore?"<br /><br />When arena sizes get larger, any attraction that the AT ever had beyond a group of tourney nerds is lost. Like it or not, the 'cool visuals' are the only thing which might ever attract non-nerds to play the game. The further, and longer you remained zoomed out, the lesser the appeal of the AT.<br /><br />Which is why the fact that the AT in its current form will continue puzzles me. I don't believe we've ever seen the positive monetary impact of the AT quantified. In a time of decreasing PCUs, I can't see the worth of it economically, considering the repeated corruption scandals. If they continue to host it, I can only ascribe their decision to pandering.<br /><br />When CCP publishes Eve Valkyrie, do they want the ball-and-chain of corruption to be tied around their legs? Valkyrie has the potential to be the next big E-sport. VR is untapped, unclaimed ground, and E-sports VR will be a multi-billion dollar market.<br /><br />If CCP continues to support the AT, then I think that the issues CCP has with respectability will cripple their VR strategy. I think that CCP Denebola and the other EA devs are too clever to indulge this strange pandering to the players.Rob Kaichinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972854173258346444noreply@blogger.com
