It's the very fact that I can play with players from all over the world, which I find to be one of the huge strengths of XI and XIV. Thus, hosting contests where you lock out a large part of the playerbase, is something I find to be shortsighted and somewhat stupid.

Then again, I understand that there will be a large part of the community that does not share my view of it, and find my opinion to be shortsighted and stupid. I can live with that.

You can still participate, you are just not ellegible for the price or win.
