PvP Needs An Endgame Once Again

[BloodRubyXII]

With premade Feast returning with 4.2, wouldn't that count as PvP endgame? To be invited to official tournaments and whatnot?



Source?

We had premade Feast before and there were only a few teams, I don't have high hopes for it. If the official tournaments do come around with decent prizes I hope it'll attract more people to play, else it's just going to be near impossible to actually find a team again and get queues; although having cross-world DF is nice. But they won't run a tournament with only a few teams in it. It needs to be a really attractive prospect to work - like it has to either bring in new players from other games who want to make good on a competitive scene that they're willing to catch up in against people with several seasons experience as well as bring in players who won't normally PvP.

My only issue with that is, with all the controversial changes made to the Feast, I certainly no longer see it as anything close to serious PvP. Removing chat from what's supposed to be your "premier" PvP, dragging your feet on needed balance changes then trying to blame it on players being busier with PvE (when that's largely untrue), and generally flipping balance on its head then for the sake of it, while playing coy about changing it doesn't strike me as "premier" anything.

Not to mention I haven't actually enjoyed the Feast ever since 3.5 and the you-know-what.

Truth be told, with how desperate they are to salvage the idea of Rated PvP in this game in general, I wouldn't put it beyond them to run a tournament anyway and just fill the missing spots with randoms or low ranked teams, then hype it up to something far bigger than it is.
"Please adjust your hotbars before going on stage, you can do so at the Wolves Den Pier."

This game's PvP never had the playerbase to support the E-Sports high competitive shebums, the whole thing reeks of marketing gig and the fact that they're looking for sponsors for it only makes me question their sincerity further.

But I'm also of the mind that a game that can't even consistently pop queues during off-hours at all, can't guarantee swift queues even at prime time, can't support multiple game-modes/maps, can't afford a decent rating system, has such a low population that wintrading is viable even in solo queue, lets bots and cheaters of all kinds have their way unhindered and constantly needs to bribe people with shinies to please please show up has far bigger concerns than official tournaments. A fried chicken lays no eggs >_>

You forgot to drop the mic when you were done, lol.
