So you want top spots and prizes awarded to terrible players on par with the best players? I'm not sure you fully understand competitions.

Hence why he won in a land slide cause games are pretty much his life (sad as hell but its his choice). Except that's not what happened. He won 45 Demi's by finishing 1st Templar 45 times.

No. If you want orbs, grind them in your permanent league. Also not sure what's unfair about the race system, the guy with the most skill and commitment won. GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.	Posted by Xavderion#3432 on Apr 7, 2013, 4:19:13 PM Quote this Post
Congratulations, Krippers. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

Racing is stupid. Period. ...I also dislike Kripp just because most think he is a god. Crafting doesn't exist in POE. Gambling does...and the house always wins. Velocireptile - I LOL'ed. Which made me fart. I wish the office were empty right now :( Hardlicker - I had to push the dog out of the way so I could get to the sexy quilt.

Most commitment. No doubt. Most skill..... Highly doubtful.	Posted by SL4Y3R#7487 on Apr 7, 2013, 4:23:10 PM Banned Quote this Post

This a thousand times!!! You could split the one week race up over two or even four weeks. That would also give the working people a chance to participate: a one week race => 168 hours When you stretch the one week race over four weeks => 672/168 => 4 hours of playing per day for four weeks. With this system you would also see people reach higher levels than before (cause noone can stay up 7 days in a row and play nonstop. Or you could just make the race shorter all together. Say 120 hours over 3 weeks => 4,2 hours/day) Still a lot, but people who really want to participate could do that now and could compete. I think this system would bring alot more variety to the races and probably more people would consider doing them. I also like to see more crazy races, and maybe a crazy semi permanent league (leathal anyone? :D make it last 6 months, than transfer to hardcore league and reset it)	Posted by el_Z0ido#7128 on Apr 7, 2013, 4:24:26 PM Quote this Post
