I propose that development includes a way for event competition to exist in Planetside 2, I seriously think that people would love spectating highly competitive groups of players on the scale that we will be enjoying, especially with the relative diversity of the playerbase already, the ability to specialize your play style, and with the accessibility (will work on machines that are VERY old!) I came up with an idea to track and display mission performance data in the idea vault, if that was implemented then you could base a competition off of that, other contests could just be in-game events scheduled where the squad/platoon/outfit/faction that controls the most territory or a particularly large facility/area for a certain amount of time. You could let people sign up for these events in advance with their username which would give the host access to data needed, that way other people can be part of the fight even if they can't afford the sign-up fee or the flight to Vegas or wherever we all decide to host these!
I think that the conventional video game competition could be totally changed up with this game, perhaps they could work with devs for when new locations are opened up (space, moons, new planets, etc.) but I think that there could be a lot of ongoing corporate sponsorship interest for stuff like this!
