Sorry. Went LD. Bye.

random pairings?

you gonna pull names out of a hat on stream or something?

1) offer a zlandi talisman as a reward
2) convince people to show up for a fee
3) set up a set of rules that arbitrarily disadvantage some classes (ie no buffs or pets until short moments before the start forcing casters to burn huge wads of their mana bar right before go time)
3) secretly conspire to “randomly” pair up 2 overpowered BiS raid geared top tier PvP classes not burdened by the aforementioned rules
4) “give” the zlandi talisman reward to the “winners”
5) host and “randomly paired” conspirators walk away with 500p-1k plat per participant


Dumbass rules:
-only 30 seconds to prep? I understand no external buffs but 30 seconds is bullshit. Casters and pet classes might as well not show up.
-no skeleton or wolf form? Why? If it isn’t a click this is a dumb restriction
-allowing pumice but not allowing instaclicks to protect buffs?
-no blind? Why? Why take away advantages of some classes but not others?
-no charm? See above
-no flux? See above.
-no fear? See above

I do understand no “consumables”. Stacks of wort potions, for example, would cheese the whole thing.

If this were hosted by GMs/CSR -OR- there wasn’t a fee to participate it could sound like fun.

Sorry, but this smells like bullshit

Yes. Randomize names in Excel sheet on stream.

You're better off just turning this into a warrior only event honestly..... And selling the Talisman to provide plat to the winners... I honestly don't mind entrance fee, since it's time your spending to host, organize and run the event.

Are there two talismans? Or are the randomly paired winners expected to split it?

They'll have to 1v1 for it in a final duel. Winner takes all.
