Developer and Player relationships

The "nVidia" teams of today and the past are very good make no mistake about it, and the relationships or communications members have now, or in the past with devs isn't new. Hell, Opa and others openly talked about helping work through issues early on in the forums. These side talks, although seemingly outside the rules are quite common. I've played in alliances with and against a lot of them over the years and the one thing that is hard for people to understand unless you've seen it firsthand is the amount of TIME these guys put in to the worlds they are looking to compete. When you have 24x7 activity you will never sneak up on them. When they know all players from their alliance you will never steal information. When they share account information you will never catch them doing what they don't want to do. It's a machine; far more than just upping caps and digging, these guys go in shifts. I'd like to beat them one day, but just like every other alliance on servers where they are playing, it's a huge undertaking.

Look on T38, they are running an alliance called Test 19.1 to make sure they understand the mechanics of the latest patch prior to the WCS. I see two other alliances doing similar...but most aren't "training". It's frustrating for sure, but it's the way games work. Money won't fix all problems.

The problem is not whether they are good or not, but if others study how to beat them and beat them (look at tib 37) you can not change the rules before the WCS on their suggestion.......and other question is they admit in public share login and this is against TOS.
But you think is normal they speak with developer-team and DT change rules and adapt the game to their style?.
