I might have gotten lucky, but it seems like drop rates on shit quests are much better this week.

Watched some of Sodapoppins prep for it. From what I understand the tournament was open to all, but even if you have played since 04, you can't really compete without the time invested to properly prepare. Combined with streamer privilege. Not really gold since streamers stopped accepting that a while back due to risk of being banned (even an addon made to see if the player who offered gold was "legi)", but stuff like being able to assemble 30+ hunters for a raid to grind level 50 mobs at level 30 to try to get faction items for a 18 slot bag which would give more inventory slots. Since when you entered the tournament, you couldn't leave so you needed to bring all the potions, grenades, items and extra gear with different resists with you.

Soda has been playing 10+ hours every day for a month just to min max every slot in his bags reviewing his slots at every patch and tournament rule change. His statement a while back that the winner was guaranteed to be a streamer is probably accurate. You don't just need the experience and skill, but a massive time investment leading up to the tournament which "regular" people don't have.

That's insane lol.

Now he is antagonizing about what 1 item to lose in order to put something else in. While his chat is trading him his missing potions to fill up, though he doesn't need it since his bank looks like his bags.

Seems like a dumb event. I feel like everyone should have the same resources if its going to be based on skill and not who has the most simps farming you items. Either the event provides everyone with the same consumables or no one gets access to them. Otherwise I'm not seeing the point.

Its manufactured drama and publicity.

It would be cool if Blizzard could find a way to implement an annual Best of the Best tournament like EQ. Those were always so fun to watch and great for the community to follow.

My biggest PVP rivalries were always against those who were the same class. I remember in BGs, we'd just ignore everyone else and go after each other the entire match.

Funniest memory was in EOTS during OG Cata, there was a faggot goblin ele sham I'd always run into. We would spend the whole match thunderstorming each other and each other's teams off the platform in the middle. IIRC getting off to that was what started my career in PVP trolling.
