Poll says it all: Should the MAT be replayed?
Personally, I think the whole thing this month was stupid. Seriously, half the matches being 3v4 or not occurring at all. I've heard the argument that everyone got equally f*cked, but seriously, I don't understand how it was fair at all.
I feel that if it is not replayed, it really shows the lack of interest on Anet's part of supporting their games, even if they are close to dead, if not already.

Gogo replay! Being unfair for everyone doesn't mean its not unfair. 3v4 is not fair, and is a hollow victory anyways.

Yah, it needs to be redone. The lag, disconnects, random error= and code= messages that no one had seen before... and that's just on the American server. Apperently Euros had it worse off >.<

its ridiculous the amount of DCing, and its no really fair even if it was 4 vs 4 because they maybe missing a key player, so i think it should be replayed

I have by now given up all hope of ANet doing a good job.
If it does get replayed I will eat my hat, and that's a promise.

I don't care if Anet is working on GW2. If they aren't going to be paying attention to their current game, then how do they expect us to buy GW2? Even a ''we are sorry we screwed up'' will suffice...

Yes, obviously. If they cant fix their server problems for the whole day (or whole month as its the third time now), then thats the minimum.

o.O Lol, I want to know who the 10 people are who voted no, and why they don't have the- er... 'guts' to post why they voted no. I don't suppose they're the 'winners' who simply didn't error= and code= enough? Just a thought.

of course it should but it won't happen. I highly doubt we'll even get any response from Anet to this, let alone an apology.

I'm REALLY surprised by the amount of negative (as in attitude, not answers to the poll) responses to this.
Sure A.net has screwed up a LOT of things lately (balancing, GW:EN in general, lack of public relations), but...
a) its not a workday, the last time they had server issues it was a weekend and the same thing happened, nothing was really fixed till Monday. While it is upsetting, you can't be surprised that 10-15 people won't come in on their day off.
b) do you people honestly think a.net won't redo the MAT? The whole "that would make sense so of course A.net won't do it" arguement isn't exactly valid (by definition it is an illogical arguement). If they were willing to have a "dragon festival redux" event a year ago, I don't see why they won't redo the mat.
Oh, and yes the guy decided to have double HB weekend on a MAT weekend should also be fired (the game wide lag was bad enough, but this made things even worse).
Voted yes of course.
I'm surprised how many people have voted no. Probablly people who either a) did well in the xulai house and don't want to lose their keys b) did well in the Mats (really good accomplishment beating dced opponents) c) have no idea what we are talking about or d) are just trolling to screw up the results (my big problem with sardalaic polls)
If you voted no and have a valid reason to explain to me besides the selfish ones I just listed, we'd all like to hear it.

As to the rest of your post, it's not the lag we are complaining about. Lag happens, of course they didn't mean for that to happen. We are complaining that Anet doesn't even apologize for what happened.

ArenaNet and NCSoft are NOT responsible for disconnects during the tournaments. It says so in their rules. So, if one person gets disconnected during a match, that means the match continues to go on and not called, unless one team forfeits the match. Even if the disconnect is server-side, ArenaNet and NCSoft cannot be responsible for it. The players participating in the tournaments have agreed to those terms when they decided to play the game, even if they haven't read them. I know most of you people haven't read them because you're complaining about it!
As for the "Dragon Festival Redux" period, even though I'm glad they did it (I actually just got Factions around that time), they didn't HAVE to do it, either, but they did anyway.
Seriously, look at this page and scroll down to "Connectivity". It's about a third of the way down. You'll find the exact message:

That is beyond stupidity, and there is no reason they shouldn't do a rollback. The least they could do is simply say something about the situation.

I don't agree with JupiterStarWarrior because some matches, entire teams didn't load, and it wouldn't count as a win OR a loss. Some teams finished 2-1 (pd) after playing every swiss round.
Solas
meh, For a proper tournament they really should do a redux.

Also, they did it for the Dragon Festival, they didn't HAVE to do it. So, why do PvE events get more support than PvP events?
