I agree that it'll be cheaper as most of the big names and big wallets are in and 16 slots is a lot. But the security of buying a slot early was worth the risk of paying extra.

The removal of Outbreak and Hydra Reloaded probably did a lot to push the price of slots down.
Yeah, they'll be cheaper tomorrow, but I don't think we can be unsatisfied with what we paid unless everyone is paying, like, 20 PLEX tomorrow (which I don't think will happen).

Even then, 10b isn't worth worrying about. In bazaar related news, 8b profit today. In other bazaar related news, I checked a WTS topic (which was explicitly stated as WTS and not WTA and that bids under the sell price would be ignored) after not bumping it in a few days and found two guys arguing, one of whom was insisting the other was an alt of mine. He said that I was using an alt to make ridiculously high bids (significantly below my asking price) to drive up the bidding (not an auction) and therefore he was going to bid 25b (on a toon I sold for 43.5b last week) because that was it's real value (?) and I was obviously asking too much because I'd been trying to sell it for a month (it's been sold three times already this month). He then told the other guy to stop trolling the bazaar and just sell him the toon. What you gonna do... bazaar.

Basically I sold a toon last week to a guy who apparently paid for it with "bad" money (which btw was the first toon I sold ...yay). Today I log in the game and find my account with a negative wallet (- 2bil to be more accurate) and a nice mail from GM Nova accusing me of doing some really nasty stuff and how he/she helped himself/herself to my wallet. This means that now I have no money, no toon to sell and probably a flag for RMT in CCP's database.
I replied to GM Nova explaining the situation and asking either for e refund or the toon back. Both are fine with me. Now I wait pray for a response.
Conclusions? ... none.
Pretty sure GMs do not check their EVE mail, put in a petition.
Progress, what is it? Out here, progress is numbers. Millimeters, kilometers, head counts, death tolls, this is progress. Colonies burned, ships destroyed, money earned. It all comes at a price, and if the price is right, I'll set the universe on fire
and I also saw Tuskers and AQUILA in the bidding channel so it's not like there will be total lack of skill aside from us.
We were just watching the bids (and mildly trolling in my case), we don't do AT. AQUILA/Verge of Collapse are in tho, even if it does take them several hours to find their plex.
Also, regardless of whether hydra/outbreak being bad at hiding match fixing last year ruined legit e-sport or not, not having them in makes the tournament less interesting to watch. The entire thing smacks of CCP holding grudges tbh and I'd be less disturbed by it all if they'd also banned PL.
Eve - A cold, harsh universe filled with deceipt, meta-gaming and emergent gameplay. Except AT, that's legit. Other than the backstabbing, bribery and spying from previous years.
Ironically, Hydra/Outbreak were too good at the metagame last year to the point where they annoyed the crap out of CCP with how hard they won AT, then this year they are so bad at the metagame that they don't have basic ability to even pretend to be in seperate groups on SiSi...

Still, isk is cheap, we've spent about a billion more per person than we would have had to if we'd been willing to risk not getting a slot, who really cares.
