In this instance what was earned in the most recent tournament was taken away as punishment, and in addition rawr loses the use of their eight previously won permanent capes for a month. Were rawr a guild that had never won a gold cape, this would have been an even much more severe punishment since they are for most guilds not easy to win. In any event, please don't troll or flame in this thread as you make your comments and discussion. |
), so I think we should just relax a bit.

Some people consider the punishment to be too lenient. There is a lot of information that the greater community does not have access to, which we used to come to this decision. There were so many factors we weighed in coming to the final decision. We looked at the individual situation. We looked at what happened in the past. We looked at the documentation and records of what occurred. We discussed the situation with players. And we looked at the big picture. We looked at the technical aspects of what happened. We looked to see if the rules were vague or unclear on this issue. We had to look at the decision within the wider context of the PvP community and the community at large. In the end, we came to a decision that we believe the guilds would take seriously while tempering it with the broader contextual issues. |

Don't try to hide your failure of not renewing the rules. |

Player/Guild Responsibilities Players (and guilds) must follow the rules interpretations and guidelines for play set forth by ArenaNet, the head judge, and other tournament officials. Players/guilds are expected to behave in a respectful and sporting manner at all times. Players/guilds are expected to not participate in any form of ladder manipulation. Ladder Manipulation is defined as any actions taken to alter the rankings or ratings of the tournament ladder that deviate from guilds actually playing and completing battles. Throwing matches or getting your opponent’s to throw them to you are examples of ladder manipulation because ratings and rankings are changed without actual game play taking place. Players/guilds that do not fulfill their responsibilities as described above may be subject to review by the ArenaNet. Such a review may result in loss of event prizes up to account suspension or revocation. ArenaNet reserve the right to suspend or revoke a player's account without prior notice for any reason deemed necessary. |

I had won my share and more than a few times let a newer player win thier first GQ..waiting at the last quest and bowing..its all yours..grats on your first global. There were more than a few times where after beating a (nice) player (who won some already)several times I would also wait. It felt good, and I thought very sportsmanlike, to show this respect. Two worthy opponents lowered thier swords rather than destroy each other...good stuff in a movie....and irl imo So, yep, I guess rules are rules but I can't believe this did any serious damage..flame away  |
