Wolves' Den PvP Tournament - The Great Aether Cup

[Geryth]

I just don't get how the 6 players vs. 4 players thing is EITHER "competitive" or "inclusive". It seems very standard and reasonable to allow teams to have subs, and that applies to any competitive environment - including online E-sports.

As I've read this thread I've been scratching my head the entire time at why you keep vehemently defending your idea when everyone has given you plenty of reasons and arguments as to why a strict 4 man team is simply not a good idea - even for a competitive tournament. I seriously don't believe that a 4 man team is in any way disadvantaged against a 6 man team (if you really think so then maybe find two other people for your team to "level of the playing field" to use your own words?)- and your conspiracy theory attitude about the tournament creators tailoring the rules to their favor is nothing more than unfounded paranoia.

Just to be clear - I'm a completely objective observer in all this and have no relationship with anyone in this thread and I certainly won't be participating in the event - just to assuage and concerns that my argument is coming with any bias.

PS. This is totally the place to discuss this. You've been absolutely correct to post everything you wanted to say about it in this thread - the first 4 pages were /popcorn worthy.

Don't know if you saw my other suggestion: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post2973153

I know subs are sometimes used in e-sports. My suggestions where specific to this tournament.
