Although I loved watching the movie, I think I understand why Anet never used it. It hardly shows any in game action and when it does it almost never shows anything important happening. Also because in many of those matches there wasn't anything important happening. They show 2-3 minutes of a 40 minutes match, without missing anything important. The interviews with the players are nice, but you don't sell games with that. You sell games with exciting gameplay, that movie doesn't show any of that.
About doing another championship... Well, I doubt any new players will start playing the game because of it. Some old players might come back, but those won't give Anet any money. While organizing another championship will cost them a lot. It can't be used to promote the next chapter either this time. So basically there is nothing to win for Anet, except that the very small percentage of pvp-players that actually get involved will be a little happier. Also, one tournament isn't going to save the game or anything. It will delay its dead with a couple of months if we are lucky. Is it worth it to invest tons of money into a dying game to do something that only delays things? I don't think so. If Anet wants to waste money I'm sure the people on this forum can think of better things.
Now if they suddenly found a way to make GW's pvp exciting to play and watch, make random grouping actually possible, make the high end gameplay (gvg itself, not the high level gvg of course, only skill can take you there) actually accessible, then maybe a new tournament would be worth it. Maybe. But I have to say, great post and if it actually has any result, I will be the first to say I was wrong.

Then we'll have new Championships, truly worthy of their names, without even having to ask for them. Right now I'm afraid a Championship would simply garner too little attention to invest any substantial amount of time and money into. Still a good idea, though. |
