Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.0 -

Also if GMs are going to bother making an official sticky, could you take the time out of your day to at least answer SOME of our questions regarding gear, etc..[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Your sale questions will be answered in 9 hours.
However, due to the limited time constraints of this tournament I think it may be more prudent to answer concerns about it..[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

A combination of logistics, time constraints, and developer support.
Outfitting ~360 characters in identical equipment would be very hard to do in the span of two months, considering that much of our time was spent simply making sure that the tools and content given to us were working correctly.
The best way to do it would have probably have been to have a separate server designated specifically for this, create ~360 accounts, mail login info to each of the competitors, keep track of IPs to make sure the entrants aren't letting other people log in for them, then outfit people manually one by one, since the NPC that will be used the PWIC is not available to us. This brings us to the issue of dev support - they're currently busy building out the tools that will be necessary for the actual tournament, so they aren't able to do a whole lot of stuff for the PWI version (us) right now.
thing is how exactly is it fair to every player to call this a tournament of skill when a player like me who cant cash shop gets wtf pwned by just gear alone.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

This is BS. So, players that have CS'd their way up to R9 +12 and/or 5aps will rule the tournament, and give no other players a chance at winning. Seriously just wasted my time reading you're post. Event is fail. I have been playing this game since nearly open beta (same toon), and I get two shot w/ out turtle on, by a wizzy that is R9 +12 and uses "gush". How is this fair Frankie? How is it fair that someone who has been playing your company's flag ship game since nearly beta, can get two shot by someone who has played maybe a month and CS'd his/her gear?
Doesn't sound like "skills" at all. Sounds like whoever has spent more money on the game, wins event.

Frankie, you forgot to put Kakumau in the Sanctuary list as a land holding faction.0

Urgh... he just stated you will be given special gear at the China tourney, which is more then fair to even out the difference in the version economies/gear availabilities.
If you're getting two shot that easily, & you have been playing so long, then it seems to me you haven't invested as much as that psy in the game...
Wa wa smb put more money/effort into this game & now they keep 1 shooting me Wa wa
It seems perfectly fair to me. But I'm curious what kind of gear the players will be given.
Also Frankie will you guys be hosting live streams or smth of the competitions?0 -
Tremble you've been playing the game for that long, and your gear is still ****?
People need to stop using the *omg CSers are gonna rule this event* QQ more, too many +12 r9 people are non CS'ed.0 -

Um... What? Did you not read the original post by Frankie? The event isn't only in China. It starts in PWI, next week. That's what I was referring too. That's what I replied too.

Hi Evanera,
I won't brag nor fall into you're attempt at a troll post. However, my gear is pro for a non-CSer, and I'm not doing too bad on my BM either (gear-wise, ofc). You, of course wouldn't know, as you CS'd you're gear on both major toons you have (Veno/Wizzy). Sorry, but opinions by a CSer, on the topic of "CSing makes you insanely OP in this event", is invalid.
There are so few people that have +12 R9 that hasn't been CS'd, that it's quite comical. The only way to get that much coin (over 1bil, as you know) is merching. But, alas... This is besides the point, and is neither here nor there.
Now, back to my original post...Tremblewith - Heavens Tear wrote: »This is BS.

Trem...dude why are you complaining about somebody who has more cash then you?
YOU KNOW, what your gear could be right now man. Especially with all the time you focused into your own guild, if you had focused that instead on yourself you could be r9 +12 w/ aps back-up set and you know it. So please man, don't complain or cry about heavy CS'ers.Nothing worthwhile to mention here, enjoy the animated signature~

Huh? That literally made... No sense. So, what you're saying is... I made a guild in the past, and thus I hadn't focused on my own gear? The guild-making part is true, but I've always done the exact same method of acquiring my daily profit for well over a year now. Making a faction never slowed me down on money making, one bit.
But alas, again this is about me. Why is it about me? How about "Man xxx" w/ non-cs'd gear, against "Man xx1" with CS'd R9 +12 gear. They duke it out in this tournament. Who will win?0 -

I have nothing against csers, but this is supposed to be a tournament of skill, you can be the most skilled player on the server but when u go head to head with a +12 R9 that farms noobs all day your skill wont mean much unless your gear can stand up to them. So the idea of letting people compete in their own gear does give the advantage to the heavily refined R9ers(be them CSers or not). I suppose skill will play a part when the most skilled heavily refined R9ers emerge victorious, however it is undeniable now that this event is pretty much exclusive to R9. "Skilled? love pvp? No r9? too bad!" basically.
I can already think of a few of Sanctuary's most respected, skilled PvPers who will suffer the consequences of this poorly thought out decision.0 -

I think what she means is your way of playing is fairly unproductive in terms of benefiting your gear & if you tried harder or done some things different, considering you have been playing so long, you could have had the same good +12 gear, but you don't...0 -
ROFL there you go complaining again. I'm happily F2P on this game. Don't get butt hurt because my gear is superbly better than yours. It's okay though.
Just because I have amazing gear, doesn't make me a CS'er, as you wouldn't know. Most of the people who are seeming to be going to this event for Enrage (I'm not one of them even) are non CS'ed as well. Would you like to complain more?

Yeah, and again I don't understand why it is about me? Take any non-cs'er against someone who has dropped 2k rl cash in the game. They are toast.
Also, no... You wouldn't have +12 gear if you didn't CS. Unless, I merch'd, which I don't. I'm a farmer. I farm instances to make my coin. I don't setup a catshop 24/7. Got a problem? Suck some wee wee, cause in all honesty I make plenty of profit every single day I play PW, and whether I have or don't have R9 +12 is neither here nor there. It has no merit on the original post I made.Mystic-Night - Heavens Tear wrote: »ROFL there you go complaining again. I'm happily F2P on this game.

I know you CS'd, so don't play dumb. You're fail troll posts, are failing h/\rdc0re. Why is it always about me? Lmao. It's like, you forget about the x9000 other players on PWI that are in the same situation. The event is tailored for R9 +12 and/or 5aps CS'ers. Don't believe me? Check the threads. Read the thread, lol. Open you're eyes to the event.0 -

Where is this proof that I CS'ed, Mister Wise Tremblewith? If you KNOW I did it, surely you could provide evidence of this?
You're just too hurt because people know how to make money better than you do..that's not our problem..0 -

How would I have "proof" of something like that? I just know you did it, lol. It's common sense, too me anyways. For the 4th time now... Are you like, obsessed w/ me? Why is it always me?
Put player KICKAS.S1 who hasn't CS'd against player KICKAS.S2, who has CS'd roughly 2-4k rl cash. Who will win? All player 2 has to do is press "F1", and down goes player 1. If you don't believe me, read the thread (I've already told you this twice now, lol. You refuse to open you're eyes). Players that CS will win the event. It's tailored to CS'ing +12 R9 and/or CS'ing +12 5aps.0 -

Your only argument is that anyone with +12 gear is a CS'er. Your argument is terrible.

Also, your picture means nothing. I put in about $200 for marriages in-game, and the transaction history dissapeared after they changed the layout. It shows that I've never CS'd.0 -

There is hardly a difference between cash shopping and high end merchanting really.. If you know what you're doing you can be afk 24/7 and be still richer than the heaviest cash shoppers without putting a cent on to the game.
Back on topic.. I also have a few questions...
What of the alt guilds of an already existing faction on the TW map? If both allowed to participate, does that not allow them an advantage over other teams, by having 2 teams represent them?
Is flying / stealth mode allowed in the special arena?
If one player is not present from the team, is the alternate invited to participate? Or do they go in with one person short?
Is this boss / mob spawning immediately after the free for all? Is there time for the team to rebuff / restat for PvE before the timer begins?
If the free for all ends with more than one person remaining from the same team, do they have to fight each other?BM PvP Guide: pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1320761

Ah hello Dan - someone who knows how to make money b:cute
I'm pretty sure there would be a permanent NPC like there is in the PK tourney (like the healer mob) to stop stealth from being abused? Though..it would have to be a mob that heals 1 HP or something silly like that. Stealth could easily be way..way over abused if it's allowed. Barely any of these questions are being answered b:surrender0 -

No, you see, the alternate's job is to sit on the sidelines and watch. Why else would they have him there?0
