i have had little or no input on the 30 rules, you all should remember that i was the 49 person, not the 30 person. the fact remains that the 49 rules, and the 30 rules by others, were modified over the years to promote balance. The 49 rules are to my mind balanced noting the results are a record to show that each class can win a tournament. At 30 on euro, ctc amp and kb have never been allowed. east has always had far more lld'ers then eu, but you have not had tournaments over there and the emphasis has not been on balance but rather on making a character as strong as possible. The running mantra for years has been lol euro with its bible of rules, but its that bible of rules that gives classes a realistic chance of getting a result.
As stated in previous 1v1 tournaments, if players dont like these rules, they can agree between themselves to compete either in a different environment or with different rules, provided both players agree. the rules are for those players that either cant agree or simply bm, in which case the rules are used as an effort to enforce some degree of fairness/balance. are the rules perfect ? no. but very few things in life are perfect.
strong barbarian (w/o teleport) players have consistly performed @ eu, and back in the day they existed on east, and west. just because its not to your conformity does not mean that it is bad.
