Best of the Best, Level Poll.

[Ambrotos]

I don't recall a level restriction on the Best of the Best Matches, nor can I find any information of there being one. So since that is the case I will post a poll and get a feel from the community.Clearly there will need to be a limited amount of people who enter also.

[Nagash]

First!

[Atmas]

First!

I actually voted first.

[Wonton]

Why let in a level 25 druid in the druid BoTB? You are not the best if you are sub-60. Casual need to log out for the night. I voted 50-60

[Cars]

On live it was lvl 53+. Not gonna research and link for you, but thats the troof

[Lanuven]

Wheres the option for lv 60 only?

[SamwiseBanned]

only people who would want 60 only are the poopsockers who are afraid to get out jousted and out played by someone in their low 50s (will happen)

[Slave]

Makes no difference to me as long as No Trade items are banned. That's the only way to really know who's the Best of the Best. Otherwise, you're just seeing whose guild is best.

[Ambrotos]

Pretty much all gear will be allowed outside of right click items. I'm still waiting on feedback from the staff to present the rules.

It's as close to best of the best as it was on live server. That includes people allowing to wear the gear they have.

[Frieza_Prexus]

What about fungi tunics and running around like a jackass? The warrior botb for Prexus consisted of one guy running around the platform for like 45 minutes to regen.

Enjoy your Best of TMO Tournament then.

I'm sure the staff will come up with some type of stalling provision. Lets keep this topic on track with the levels, not about gear.

[Peak]

gear isnt everything. also, i would be surprised if some IB dont return solely for these tournaments.

instead of being a negative nancy, just be happy something new is happening !

[Silentone]

I am happy, any news on the date? sorry if posted somewhere else

[Slave]

gear isnt everything.

No, but it's the most important thing. A VP-geared anything will have to be an utter moron to lose to someone that's even highly skilled. Making this whole exercise something that only a small percentage of level 60s can hope to win.

It was like that in Live, but I guess we'll just never know who's 'best' eh? I hope the participants enjoy themselves and have some epic battles among their other elitely geared brethren.

[Tasslehofp99]

Pretty sure aside from epic/VP gear I match up very well gear wise against any druid on the server. Levels in a melee duel dont mean as much as in a caster duel, a 50 druid wouldn't last 1 cast against a 59+ druid. Unless you're going to do seperate tournaments for each level group I dont see the sense in including anyone below 55.

[Supaskillz]

I think its should be 55+ I don't think there is much purpose other than making it take longer to allowing low levels to fight level 60s

Sorry ambrotos:
never been to vp, I think I can compete with vp geared rogues.... oh noes they have razor sharp short sword, obv I lose

[jjgerman]

best of the best shouldnt take place on any server until resists are addressed, RED 99 failed because of a failed resist system.

[Ele]

I found the official rules sets for SK and Ranger BotB.

Both are open to level 54+

Post from Legacy of Steel regarding the Enchanter BotB and Tigole mentions level 54+ enchanters.

[Acillatem]

I would say stick with what Live did and go 54+.

For that reason I voted 55-60.

[Nizzarr]

55+, enchanter botb on sullon zek.

That's horseshit. There are Bards who are better geared than me but I'm still the best. In fact the Bard BotB competition should just decide who gets to face big Giegue. Otherwise the result will basically be predetermined, and the other lesser Bards will get discouraged.

[Fists]

Giegue I love you bro, but Mythoxxus would've stomped ya, too bad I sold the account lolz then the botb finally happens!

[Lazortag]

Giegue I love you bro, but Mythoxxus would've stomped ya, too bad I sold the account lolz then the botb finally happens!

You probably sold the account out of terror just knowing how much big Giegue would thoroughly pwn you. I bet you have auto-attack as a hotkey. If you thought my trash talk was good, my pvp skillz are even better.

[Dravingar]

Where was the BotB back when p99 actually had a real population.

[Harmonicdeth]

Aww, someone want to help set up a lowbie BoTB? I love pvp, but don't have any toons over lvl 35. Oh well, I voted for everyone, just because I do not have a lvl 54+.

[Slave]

Actually this is a terrifying and logical condition. It will skew results even further towards elite gear.

My trepidation is linked more to casters than anything, and I don't consider bards to be either caster or melee, but bards.
