I joined Altador, as always, my favorite land and favorite team and I will always support them!
So, here is a rant from me; I wonder why JS made such rude comments about Altador! First "Why So Smug?" on the pre-sign up team info, then "Altador’s 12th place finish in AC X was one of its better performances, which says a lot about the team’s caliber." and "Are they content to be remembered as the hosts of the Cup? Sure seems like it.", just a few sentences from the info on the team sign up page. Okay, though they have obviously done well in the past, generally Altador tends to not be one of the more popular teams. This is a bit confusing to me, considering if it wasn't for Altador, we wouldn't have the Altador Cup. In any case, my point is if not many people join and play for a particular team, of course it's not gonna do as well. However, even if that is not a factor, or it was really the team itself deciding how to play, I still think it's unfair to just count them out or make those types of comments. JS at least could have said something like 'Are they content to be remembered as the hosts of the Cup? We shall see.' to acknowledge it is possible things could change, instead of just writing them off. I read the descriptions for all the teams and I don't think any were as harsh as the one for Altador, even for the teams that didn't do as well last year.
By the way, I don't think there's anything wrong with being content to be the hosts of the cup, maybe they just have fun participating, it's still an unfair comment.
Pardon me, I'm just really loyal to Altador and will always defend them.
Okay, I'm done now.
