Guild Wars 2

I supported ANET everywhere BUT why you do such a poor orginisation that you make this :

Registration will open next week, for players that live in Canada, United States of America, Mexico, and European Union countries and are 18 years of age or older, so solidify your team and watch GuildWars2.com for more information about registration, rules, and eligibility requirements.

Realy? You don’t care about other customers? How the hell you could even make it a FIRST OFFICAL GW2 Tournament?!

I am not speaking about poor-prizes that is like mix of mistleague-anet-mmorpg.com,thats another story.

But letting people to participate only from particular contries? And you want this to be e-sports?

They have already addressed this concern in the other thread. Here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Pax-Prime-and-Guild-Wars-2/first#post2404545

Basically it had to do with legal reasons.

For the first tournament they officially sponsor as well as being a company, the regulations and restrictions regarding regions they have set forward are fairly common.

It’s extremely difficult to adhere to all laws from a number of areas across multiple countries. For an intro-tournament, it’s better to have that part of it go smoothly and test the waters.

Makes sense.

Yeah, there are many great players excluded, but… raging at developers will accomplish nothing, man. Putting these limitations is most likely up to company’s lawyers. More restrictions up-front means less paperwork later.

Let’s just hope this one works out and there will be more, less restrictive tournaments to come…

Valve has a lot more experience hosting, supporting and sponsoring tournaments. I’m sure they’ve worked out all the legal tricks regarding this. ArenaNet is doing it fresh.

They’ll work it out, nothing happens perfectly the first time.

LOW EXPERIANCE RLY?

Regarding the age and region requirements, the restrictions are primarily for legal reasons. There are many more legal hurdles you have to go through with respect to prizes, travel and lodging when it comes to minors.
For regions, not only does every country have their own laws regarding competitions of this sort but every state, province, territory etc. also have their own laws regarding tournaments with prizes on this scale as well as their own laws regarding participation by minors in these events. Each of these areas should have a legal check or review when putting together a tournament like this. It takes significant time and legal resources to perform those checks.

Previous staff. A ton of GW1 staff now works for Riot. Notice how they are able to do these large tournaments consistently and successfully?

A lot of the GW2 staff is new to this, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt this first time around.

Isaiah is no more part of the PvP staff.

Otherwise you would have seen a lot more “smiter booning” here and there.

The PvP staff is REALLY new.

This is the first tournament, go easy on them.

If things will go well, you’re going to partecipate in the future.

I cannot partecipate due to vacations ( i don’t even have my PC there) because they put it in august, but i’m not raging ( i don’t even have a stable team, but that is another story).

Calm down.

It’s time issue. Not money, not experience but just a time issue. They can’t get it all done by that date and decided it wouldn’t be that bad for a starter.

Currently there are only NA and EU servers, I’m sorry there are no servers for you in japan or korea. Maybe you should move to a different game if you are angry about that and come back when they have a japan or Korean server.

Because there target market is NA and EU if your not in those regions its just too bad.

this is one of the most close minded, asinine things i’ve read in ages.

Blame the law not ArenaNet.
