How to make automated tournies good.

These are my suggestions.


Think of the current problems within the GvG ladder. Gimmicks, imbalanced maps \ skills, and randomness are a few things that should come to mind to any top level player. The release of these automated tournies are supposedly going to eliminate all of the problems with gvg ; get real. There will still be randomness involved within skills and maps (if they aren't random by then). People will still lose because of their inability to predict their random opponents' skills.

On to my suggestion.

Within these Automated Tournaments should be other tournaments set aside. You can call then "Fun Tournaments". These Fun Tournaments will be true tests of player skill. One example could be prophecies only GvG. You can only bring prophecies skills, guild halls, and professions. Mm wouldn't it be nice to GvG without nightfall? Another example could be set skill \ hall \ armour \ everything gvg. You are given the details 3 days or so before the tournaments, so instead of deciding skills \ halls, you decide your strategies and build assignments.



There are tons of options branching off from this main idea.


Thanks.

I think you are smoking crack! -,-" No offense but I have no idea what are you talking about! Can anyone explain to me? What is Imbalanced maps and blah, blah blah...??? No idea what are you talking about!

He was right, and I highly doubt he was smoking crack when he wrote this. The imbalanced maps are Jade, Burning and Corrupted.
I would certainly like a prophecies only ladder/tournament. IMO the game was at its best just before factions (<3 boon prots/gale wars)
I don't really see how AT's would fix any of the current problems in GvG, exept if they feature random map selection. (which I haven't heard anything about)

Wrong place to post this IMO. This is literally correct section to post in ( Sardelac for suggestion and ideas), but you post a pvp discussion and I'm sure 90% people who read Sardelac are pve'er. Should have posted in Gladiator arena.
