No special moblist, but first 2 stages were my favorites....

2. What Mob did you learn to hate?

Can u hate a mob? PK'er

3. Did you learn anything new from the WoF?

Not exactly...

4. Has your Friend List increased?

Yes.

5. Has anyone done really well from the WoF?

Me Well, not really well but no big losses (if u don't count those 3-4 rounds)

6. Did you dislike any of the Rules?

Yes. Didn't like unlimited support, too small main teams, didn't like PvP mobs, didn't like space round (though I missed it)

7. How do you think it was managed?

Very well I think. Only thing was the timetable ie. lot's of ppl waiting one hunter to arrive. The starts should have been as scheduled....

I have loads more questions, just say what you thought of the WoF

Excellent event again but last years WoF was better IMHO...

1. What were your favourite Moblists/Stages?

Couldn't pin down one, adapted each time...

2. What Mob did you learn to hate?

Bristles probably, but only because I hunted them at least 6 hours a weekend 3 times and despite the globals never got the ruddy gremlin feet I still want.

3. Did you learn anything new from the WoF?

How the smallest of things gone wrong can have a huge effect on a gameplan.

4. Has your Friend List increased?

Sort of, but had to delete them all again after WoF to make room for the soc again..

5. Has anyone done really well from the WoF?

Financially, of course not. But the experience was rich.

6. Did you dislike any of the Rules?

Unlimited support - I know you said you did this so that anyone can join, but if someone wants to join and the country they want to represent is full then they can always just make another team....next year there will be new planets and continents and if people want they should create "Team Eudoria/Amethera" likenesses. (Tho why people chose not to support there own country this year is beyond me....)

7. How do you think it was managed?

Given the volume, very well indeed. I know it must be hard when the people you relie on to help you are away half the time on the playing field, but I thought you did great.

1. What were your favourite Moblists/Stages?

I was not participating as a hunter, but the display in the Daspletor Dome was a sight to see!

2. What Mob did you learn to hate?

Bristlehog and Hiryuu

3. Did you learn anything new from the WoF?

Bristlehogs drop Kross400 more than Feffs do

4. Has your Friend List increased?

Yes, it did... but I doubt I will get any PMs until next WOF. Sad but true...

5. Has anyone done really well from the WoF?

Well... I did not do bad.

6. Did you dislike any of the Rules?

The only one that bothered me was that support was not tied to a "home country" for the duration. Made being a mercenary a profession.

7. How do you think it was managed?

Managed great. Something to consider would be a penalty for not responding to time requests for matches. There were a few times that match times were not agreed upon until the day prior. That can impose great difficulties in getting the word out to the teams.

Since you mentioned it... I always thought it was strange that in the Finals, there are 3 teams all competing at once... please see the picture below for a possible change in the last few matches.

A twist that would keep all teams playing (remove the bye)... the top 8 teams would advance instead of 6 allowing for a balanced match bracket. Still seeding the teams 1-8 and the higher the seed means the lower seeded opponent.

1 vs 8
2 vs 7
3 vs 6
4 vs 5

Just a suggestion, but I am curious what everyone (especially YOU) think about it.

I thought the 3-way final was fun

[Jimmy B]

I quite like the traditional three-way WoF final too.

[Dark Cat]

Gotta agree there.....something that makes WoF unique from all other knock-outs is the 3-way final...

[Hurrikane]

Rayne, you explained it yourself on your pic:

"there is no precedent in the world of sporting competition for this"

...that's why we have a 3-way Final

Thanks as always for the input though

Hurrikane

[Rayne Jade]

Fair enough!

Rule I disliked:

People can hunt for countries they are not part of at all. It should be limited to something like "Born in the country, or currently living in the country".

The random countries that were created with members that clearly were not born/from that country, let alone ever actually been there seriously undermines WoF. Next year more people will just form a group and choose a random warzone or uninhabited island to represent.
