Change to Prizes for the 1v1 Mage "Wizard of Alterra" Tournament

[Samhayne]

First, big thanks to AbsolutePally for organizing the tournament and for everyone who participated. As some of you may know, there is an issue with a unintended buff / capability that has colored the results of this tournament. Rather than pick sides without concrete proof, we'd prefer to take the high road and look past any "cheating" that may have happened.

To that end, we prefer to celebrate all of the players who embrace PvP activities and tournaments. The winner shield has been removed and all players in the tournament are being granted the "inverse" Skull and Crossbones shield.

[adidaman]

[Walkhardd]

Birdy still has the black background with white shield that says "Winner" on it.

[Draopwnzall]

Wow, that's really neat.

[AbsolutePally]

Whoa! Big development.
my plats.... Lol!

Sam, this glitch can be proved with concrete evidence. I have sent a pm. Please discuss this with me.

Sometimes it's best to let things be. Pushing the issue may result on undesirable results.

Reinadelhielo - I think I have a misspelling in your name? Please send me a PM with your character name so I can grant your shield, thanks!

My integrity is worth more than any prize that STS could give me. It has far greater worth than any game. If undesirable results occurred, they occurred by protecting my integrity.

I have yet to see anyone on the forums directly question your integrity. I certainly wasn't and if that is how you took it, you need to reread my post.

Sam, instead of incorrectly blaming players, please look into their purchase history and see if they actually did abuse the glitch. This is not fair at all, IMO.

[Samhayne]

I prefer to present it as rewarding everyone, rather than blaming anyone. I would rather not go there, or dig into the issue of who was actually playing the account. As a reminder, sharing of accounts is against the Terms of Service.

I'm turning a blind eye because I like to focus on the fun in life.

JewelsofJane, if anyone questions your prowess, load up that 1v1 map and I'm sure you can prove it.

Sam, she has every right to be upset as she followed the rules of the tourney. As for account sharing, there are many people in the tourney who do that as well.

[Swimmingstar]

So apparently 2 people were playing on one account in tournament...

No that is NOT what he is saying. He is saying because of the possibility.... So many things are possible. So I guess we should never award anything to anyone, because life is unsure.

[Samhayne]

I'll be the first one to apologize for screwing things up. At this point the prizes have been retracted and replaced.

Thank you for cooperating and understanding, Sam.

[Swimmingstar]

It's Reinadehieloo.

And NOOO! And kind of yes. I'm on both sides.

Just 2% more on shield side because it looks cool. And why not keep it? I thought this game was supposed to be fun and not all competitive on prizes.
