Why can't they just release the reps after the Event?, This won't affect the event in any way .
Someone explain this to me T.T
(I need MVP and DRG Reps =/ ) Their reasoning is that the casters and players use the same accounts for every event, so they can't release them or they'll just get spammed the next tournament. For some reason they don't realize that if anyone wanted to get account codes, they could just look at the MLG Columbus replays. And it would only work for certain, older accounts, so as far as I know they could just create new accounts for the casters and be perfectly fine.
Well I guess the people spamming the casters during games can't get the rest of the IDs via match history anyway. Oh wait. ;d;d;d;
Pity. But for the record, I'm also of opinion that there's just stupidity behind this decision, and not actual greediness.

(I need MVP and DRG Reps =/ ) the reason is really simple: I guess the special casters will release their vods on the mlg site to which you only get access if you have a mlg pack. At least this is my guess
It's always really simple, when you are guessing

I think this may be my first post, but i must say.. The replay pack was my favorite thing about MLG. Especially since its rare to grab a korean pro replay. Its hard to go back and really analyze anything with a vod and with DJwheat controlling what you actually see.... im usually trying to click on the minimap myself....

This is silly, ruin one of the best features of MLG just to try and make a dent in an annoying practice?
I appreciate that MLG cant sell replays or modify them without getting sued by Blizzard or something but still, why? This wont end the practice you claim it will, a much better solution would be to open a discussion with Blizzard behind closed doors about implementing features in the game to eradicate this practice rather than punish us for the acts of a few which so far, havent ruined an event, a few games may have lagged but from what I've seen theres none have been stopped for more than a minute or so, and those cases are rare.

They are probably going to make the replays available to subscribers and make money out of it.
With all the tweets Sundance has been posting asking for more money, its not really surprising to me.

Folks, no one said we were going to "sell replays to casters"--we said we would work with casters we trust and like to produce VoDs.
Monetizing in this context means serving ads.
Why are you responding to the most minor of concerns here?
There's quite an obvious backlash to this decision, and if MLG is really "for the fans", what are the chances of a reversal of this horrible decision..

Meh, not as big of a deal as everybody is making it. I don't see people whine about GSL/NASL/etc replays. Sure, replays are nice, but they were an unusual (yet great) feature in the first place.
The reason nobody complains about GSL and NASL replays is that THEY CAST EVERY GAME, in MLG we see about 1/3 of the games played, and with the arrival of many Korean pros through the pool/open brackets, we have the chance to get a rare rep pack from some of the greatest players in the world. It was one of the greatest aspects of MLG in the past, now not so much.
That's why we whine.

They can't; it's in the ToS that replays can't be sold.

Why do they expect to get 100K subscribers when they have severely lowered their product quality with bullshit reasoning. There has been no way to convert bnet id into a character code since last October, when it was patched out.

This sucks.. MLG reps were the BEST thing ever. I dont like watching every stream for countless hours even though I gladly pay for it (just for support).
I prefer reps

Sounds like a way to increase VOD pass sales to me. May be wrong tho.

If they choose not to publice replays it is their decission. I hope the reason behind this is just because they don't want pro players tactics to be revealed as easily as they would just release replays. Either way, it is still sad not to see replays.
|
MLG releasing replays made it my favourite tournament ever. Now that they removed that feature I have become a sad panda.
I still don't see it as a reason BIG enough to stop giving replays to the public. "DDoS" can't be prevented by you MLG. It is a matter that Blizzard has to fix.
Ask the players to give you permission releasing the replays. If some refuse, don't release those players replays but if some agree, please do release theirs. Some replays are better than no replays at all.

Unless these replays are released Im not going to buy any more HD passes for MLG events.

as R1CH pointed out, MLG are just being greedy and money grubbing by refusing to give us replays to force us to watch vods and advertisements
gonna boycott mlg because of this.

They made a mistake by claiming that you can be DDoS'ed by a replay file, they admit that now. Actually I'm not even sure what they are claiming can be done through a replay file, they're not saying.

Also, if the VODS are avalible for people paying for membership only, i'm extremely ok with that. Sounds like an amazing added bonus.

Once can figure out the character name and code of a player and then spam whispers and invites etc to harass him during the play. Obviously, you can't be "DDoSed by a replay file"
