LMAO Jose, really, learn a new tune.
As the propaganda trumpet (that I hope works two ways), stop playing the same old tune. If you want a mutual love in, please elsewhere. If you wanna take some constructive criticism and advice from the players either paying to play the event or even spectators who have experience at MLTs, lets go about it in an adult manner.
The blanket response to criticism is to play the Martyrdom card, and insinuate that the Tournament won't go ahead, this really isn't acceptable. Look at the abuse events such as the Millennium get, and I think the PA gets of lightly, especially when billed s the Best UK event and your attempting to court "Top of the Christmas tree" media.
This is a PGI paid for resource, free for use by all, and there certainly isn't a PGI or P8 conspiracy being run to undermine your tournament. You can decide what you want to hear on the PA forums, on here, it's Freedom of Speech. You can use that wisely if you so wish or be a dick.
Jinx, when people are paying to play, then you gotta expect some criticism, specially when people are used to playing MLTs or using this as a benchmark comparison. As I say you can gag what you want on other forums, here we give both sides a chance to air their views, hopefully without the option of having to listen to the same old line over and over again.
At the end of the day the consumer is paying to play, s/he should assume that the organisation is in place for them to do it. I don't go to a restaurant and expect to pay and cook my own meal, or if the meal is not to my liking not reserve the right to complain? why shouldn't we as players expect the same courtesy?
