I just want to point out one thing for everyone who is claiming cash grab.... 10,000 passes bought equals $3,700. We are talking about months of time devoted to create this type of event. That's game developers, engineers, QA testing, and then people like me to deal with all your hatred about it lol. So if you think 3,700 dollars covers all that, I got a bridge to sell you. I can tell you 10k worth of passes were not bought the last clash. Not even close.

Yeah, Shoe, it's a cash grab.
One clash doesn't cover the costs, but after some number of clashes it's nearly all profit.
Would your bosses (and the dev's, engineer's, QA's et al. bosses) send you in here to defend their unpopular, ugly baby if it weren't so? Obviously there's a man behind a desk somewhere who believes that the pot of gold can still be had through a bit of PR flackerey and short memories on our end.
You. Win. By. Buying. Passes. There's no glossing over that fact. Your. Customers. Do. Not. Approve. No getting around that, either.
