"League of Titans" tournament - about 3 teams, tournament was crashed. Was in plan for over a month = ?. Sketchy tournament in general.
"TriWizards" 5v5 tournament. Allegedly, rules were not clear (only healing potions banned, everything else allowed..?) and organization was a bit sketchy (barred teams from entering because of lateness.) 8 teams, good turn out still. Single elim is questionable. However, good turn out, so probably the best attempt at organized competitive PvP here so far. Props to Mr. Wizard.
Aphotic's 5v5 tournament. 5 teams, but it took 2-3 hours to run through that 5 team bracket in double elim. Absolutely no restrictions, quite silly. 3/5 teams were aphotic, an aphotic team won. So much for "giving back to the community", hah.

People from BC and JC are transferring for VoT, but what PvP is here, exactly? As far as I know, open world PvP is [filtered] - TERA OWPvP does not promote roaming small groups, nor are there resources to compete over. Battle grounds are not implemented, so that leaves.. organized team group PvP.
When you are allegedly the best PvP server, with the highest population, is 8 teams of 5 really the best you can do for an organized 5v5 PvP event, VoT? Or is the kind of PvP that VoT prefers the zergy, ganking kind? That would be a bit sad - GvG is fun but, well, if you want to measure skill..
So what am I saying? I'm saying, this kind of PvP is the only kind you're going to get until EME gets their [filtered] together and adds in BGs. Until then, are you all going to circlejerk in hardmodes and dodge any type of PvP? Even BC events get a better turnout than this [filtered], haha. I was going to decide if I'd transfer or not deciding on how these events turned out, but man, what a joke. Well, at least I know why DFH transferred here.
