You said this in the other thread Can you PLEASE be
honest. The one thing I hate in life is Liars. This is why the NA Server is dying is due to lies being made at the top. If you said at the start of this that we been giving out too much gold I would of accepted it. But saying one thing and then saying the oppsite shows it was about the gold this whole time. Can you please give the honest TRUTH. Was it about the Gold or not.
dance210: I said that the schedule change wasn't due to gold, and it wasn't.
The schedule change was because my boss wanted to see what would
happen if fewer tournaments were run. There was also supposed
to be another part to it, that for whatever reason wasn't able to
happen (and no, I'm not happy about that or that I can't get the
final prize for the Summer Play tournament finalized...).
The gold was a global decree and all regions were hit. EU has a top
prize for a one day tournament of 250 gold; RU has a group stage
into playoffs with a 1st place prize of 1,500 gold. I'm trying
really hard to keep them from looking at NA and thinking those
prizes should come here. The honest truth is I have never
lied to you guys. Yes, there are times I can't tell you everything
- my job doesn't allow me to tell you everything. I will tell you
what I can, when I can. Sometimes, those things change and I can't
always update you on those changes. I am trying to give you as
many tournaments as I can and give out the most that I can.
To answer your first question, no they will not be returning. Why?
Because someone has a new vision for how tournaments should work,
and how the previous tournaments were run no longer fit the vision
(or the new naming scheme that they want to go with) and honestly I
would rather retire them than turn them into something else. If you
mean will there be more one day and multi-day tournaments run
during the month, hopefully at early and alter times, then the
answer is yes.

tourneys. I work with budgets for a living. If there is
a finite amount to be spread among tourneys, then it behooves we as
the consumer to provide feedback on how best to allot it. We
need to be constructive in this and partner WITH Dance. It
doesn't matter at this point if it was about the gold or not.
What matters is that we come out with a range of tournaments and
competitive play that suits the majority of us and allows for
growth on the server. It benefits ALL of us if the amount of
active players on the NA server grows steadily - matchmaking
improves, team play improves, tourney participation
increases........ I am just of the opinion that a range of
tournaments that appeal to not just the best of the best can
accomplish this. I run a tourney clan and have been at this
for a few years now. Dance does a good job within the
confines of the boundaries that she is given. Flaming her for
it does not help. Dance - for Skirmishes - the gold
splits can be adjusted based on the budget you're given. For
example - instead of publishing the flat rate for placement prizes,
you can do a simple percentage formula based on the amount of
entrants divided into the prize pool and published once entrance is
closed and group stage roster is posted. It's still the same
allotment for day gold, for example, but based on a percentage of
the available prize pool. That way you have control over gold
budget. The prize pool could be established based on number
of entrants in relation to server population. Would be an
honour system on WG part to increase prize pool if it was
successful in attracting player base, improving player retention
and adding to revenue stream for WG. Most of the existing prizes in
various tournaments have been top heavy to 1, 2, 3 placements for
example. I don't think anyone here would be unhappy with
adjustments in that area. I think it benefits all of us to
establish and continue the dialogue in a reasonable manner.dance210: I couldn't figure out a scaling prize structure for July because it
needed to be designed over the 4th of July weekend. I'm hoping to
have scaling prizes, where more teams equal more prizing (EU called
them stretch goals). It's a matter of making sure I have all the
kinks worked out, that it's understandable and that it gets
approved.
