thanks
I would like to add one more point to this discussion.
If any of you feel that what I am suggesting is something very new and radical then you're mistaken. Concept of money for playing is very old even in e-sports, and moreover, it have actually happened in AoC itself in the past! If any of you were around in AocZone in 2011 you might remember, there was a scandal about it as well. Chris was quite upset and made angry posts in AocZone about it. What went about was that Tyrant clan were basically getting paid just for practicing, only Tyrant. That's why others were upset. But who was paying them or whatever their contract was it was all shrouded in secrecy. But whatever that was it was successful as TyranT went on to win the tournament.
I am just trying to dig that same system up from the shadows and for this time, have something similar like that official with all the stipulations public. Transparency is the key.
thanks
