@Rym, thats not true. You don’t go into a tournament and expect to win easy unless you are the Number 1 Seed/tournament favorite. Its not even a gamble for the people watching, you are not risking anything to gain that precursor. The participants in the tournament however, are.
I want this game to do well in the PvP scene, but this is not the way to do it. Promote skilled play and not free prizes for people watching.

If you really want to know, go watch the livestream.
Precursors are the prize for 2nd place. We are not debating the places of prizes. What i’m saying is you can show up in the chat and get a precursor while the participants have to win matches to get it. You also have to win a match in order to get a finisher, while yet again all you have to do in the chat is type a number .
Why should the viewers be able to win anything the participants can? The viewers are not entitled to anything, the players however are putting in EFFORT. Its not about the amount of prizes being given away, its about what the prizes ARE.
They literally give away a prize form the tournament for typing a random number in the chat. How in any world is that fair for players in the tournament?
So they are giving away lama finishers and precursors to viewers on the livestream for the tournament.
So..why should any of the teams even play in the tournament if they can get the prizes by sitting in chair and reading text? I’ts a bit of a slap in the face to the players who have been practicing day in and day out for this. They wake up and find out that the prizes they are working towards are being given out to people who have put no effort into anything.
If a starcraft tournament had a prize pool of 5000 bucks and then gave 2000 bucks away to viewers in the chat room i guarantee you the players would quit.
Sure, reward people for watching by all means. But does it really have to be a precursor and finishers?
How can you be ok with screwing over players of the game just so you can get more people into a livestream?
Our server is full of casuals, YB has very few good players. (inb4 hate) If you want to be relevant in this tier just go to a different server.
I play on this server and will be looking to move. YB was good a year ago when we had guilds like GLOB but now its 1 or 2 guilds that WvW (one being LOOT) and even then most of the players run from every fight or just stand around pressing 1 when siege is being built.
The roaming scene is also dead on this server, there is very few players that roam and those who do barely play.
Of course this is just my opinion and my view on things but i’d really like to stress that any other server in the same tier would be a better move.
Would like to say that i don’t mean do be negative to YB, i’m just helping players who are looking for a new server to make an informed decision.
You play warrior, every class dies easy for you.
Allow every item in PvE attainable in PvP. Usually a player has to make a choice on keeping a item/skin (meta rewards and legendary’s) for PvE or WvW, why cant we just get both? Stop trying to squeeze our pockets dry of money.
PvP also has less skins available, a lot of them come from achievements outside of PvP in PvE. This is not fair on people who live in breathe in PvP and don’t set foot into PvE. Can we just get them added to the PvP locker or at least the vendors?
Lastly, new rank system! There is way too many High ranked players who can barely play at a decent level. A system that rewards skill and not afking in a map please.
What are you talking about? Why would they not be free anymore?
Agreed, this hack has ruined my christmas. I have put so much effort and time into this game its just saddening that this has even happened.
I feel for you Fozgate, i am in the exact same position as you here. Hopefully we can get this sorted out.
Had this happen to me yesterday, the hackers salvaged all my gear and sold them on the trading post for gold and then ran off with it They took everything that wasn’t account bound.. Still waiting for a response on my ticket.
