The event where good enought thoght, it do lock out a few classes thoght, PvP event should be stopt and resumed the day you guys actually balance this game, where it's not about what class you play, aka ranger or not.
Did you eg watch the vids and see hwo the melees played? Yes all using RANGED weapons, can't you guys see whats wrong with just that part alone?
The day you guys are able to balance this game nicly the PvP events may be fun to join but befor then only a few classes can enjoy it, aka the super PVP classes and all us rest, we need to sit on the bench and just look, if we join we get crushed in a few seconds there to.
Just keep this tournament format and make it quarterly.
You can adjust the prizes however you want and add runners up prizes if you wish or whatever. Making it quarterly is the important thing. Every year would be too far apart, as would every 6 months. But every 3months is spot on, that way it will still feel important and the competition will never turn casual.
You could add other level brackets if you wish, like max level 70 or max level 60. I expect you'd have to do max level 70 as the takeup on max level 60 may be rather low.
The tournament was fine, the prize however... the cats in specific, I didn't like.
My team won the Battle Tournament, and so far the cats have been nothing but annoying on our server considering the wars we've been in.. I'd probbbably leave those out next time if possible.
The idea itself was fine, but the level range was too large for anyone who was near the bottom the range to have a chance to win when they were facing someone at the higher end of the range. Thus next time, make the range from 73-78, 72-67, 66-61, etc. I would also suggest copying characters without gear; allowing them to acquire it from an event npc, who dispenses every piece of equipment and every consumable item one is allowed to use in the tournament.

Why stop there? Why not just let people create their own level 78 chars on the server as well?
If you don't get my sarcasm, that just destroys the entire identity of a competition like this.
I think the tourny was good, only advise is better movies made from it~~
Characters should be limited in the types of weapons they can use, though. When even the MELEE characters are using bows, you know something is messed up. They shouldn't be allowed to use them during the tournament.
Granted, I think that anyone should have huge penalties when using weapons they're not trained in, even in Live servers. So we don't have Orcs with 10k P.Atk at range.
I watched a few of the replay files to see how the tournaments went...but I'm really not interested in pvp when the game is as unblananced as it is now.

I bet you would be suprised how much closer the balance is with equal lvl armor/weps/buffs. Of course there are still issues with some classes.
