This used to happen all the time in reenactment as well.  Local single-group events were great fun, and carefully run.  Big multi-group events tended to become shitshows, with an escalating level of "Well, if you're playing by your own rules, then so am I."

 

Not always, some of them were very well thought through and run, and you could generally tell beforehand which ones they were going to be, and which were going to be wing-it-and-hope whangfests.

 

I know which one this event looked like up front.

We're talking about AI here, if they can't be arsed to spellcheck their magazine, what chance have you got that they'll properly organise a big event, they've always traded on their "name", in the hope that people will put their trust (& money) in them as a longstanding publication. 

I've personally played alongside & against the AI editorial team in the past, only to find that they seem to think the game rules dont apply to them, so when I hear criticism of how they run events, I'm not surprised in the least. 

Hit the nail on the head there. I remember playing against one of the AI staff and he was ignoring multiple hits from several players (at under 50ft away. We could see the shots bouncing off him) to get in a place he knew we weren't allowed to shoot at him, before blindly throwing home made pyros around. One of which caused several hundred pounds worth of damage to someone's M249. 

 

It's saddening to see they haven't changed and so I'll continue to boycott them

Like I said elsewhere most sites cant organise a decent days skirmish with 100 players why would we expect a bunch of magazine editors to be able to run a decent game for 400 people in a site they dont run?
