Update 1.0 Grand Extravaganza

eekeeboo: Keep watching all this and I do have to mention.    That account sharing is against your EULA and is mentioned in your ToS too. People on twitch have been banned for a period of time after admitting they were playing on someone elses account or grinded the account for them. Likewise grinding for another person in a tournament and competition has been repeatedly said to be against the rules.    As for the issue of account sharing, though not definitively confirmed, WG have confirmed at periods of time that IP addresses and PC hardware is monitored throughout and that through the rather unknown cheat detection methods they use, they also measure user input, so they have mentioned in the past they monitor and keep records of how a person plays and controls their vehicles and how they behave on certain parts of the map.    Once you get past the impossibility of anyone whom has been playing 24/7, like the top players, after 11 days they need to be submitted to the Guiness World Records. Anyone who's studied sleep deprivation know that it is humanly and physically impossible to complete what those are doing.    Next up for the region thing, I believe it will come down the fact of tax rules and exemptions and how they do the shipping. It is a shame no definitive list was provided for each region. BUT NA dis state their competition is only valid for NA & Canada due to tax reasons. There's no specific lines in the rules that say you can't be from the EU and play on NA but I imagine when you play your account in EU and ask for the cpu to be delivered there, a check will be made and thus *should* exclude you from the region competition.    All that being said, this is on the basis of proper assessment and measuring against the competition rules and the extent of which WG will make sure that fair play and rules have been followed. Though we will not know about this until after the competition has ended, where they have said once it's closed all entrants will be subjected and assessed against the fair play policy.    This brings me to the complaints of HOW people are getting the tokens so quickly. As long as you're inputting the controls yourself, it's up to you how you play as long as it does not impact another player in a negative game-play way. At the end of the day if you ram kill someone from the enemy team and take yourself out, that's perfectly valid tactic and plenty of people do it, not even for the competition. Just like sitting back and sniping all game is allowed but doesn't mean it's a good thing to do.    For the person who has done nothing but complain about health impacts, just because a company has put in place a competition that can be abused in an unhealthy and stupid manner, it doesn't mean a person has to act stupid or in an unhealthy manner. If you have a DVT from not stretching and drinking water etc, that's down to you. People play insane hours on plenty of games and anyone who's played mmorpg or in a lan tournament etc will attest to the extent people will play games over a weekend.    I'll go back to lurking now and wish no offence on anyone but as far as I'm concerned. As long as there's an element of fair play and a person not account sharing wins, I'll be happy. I would also like for the rewards to go to actual countries for the EU region, not to other regions, as you can see, it doesn't take a lot to get to tier 2 and spam tier 2 tanks. Here's hoping they use the same regional country list they do in the Wargaming.net pro leagues.
