Lost interest in races cuz of Points system

This is my opinion on the matter: I also think they should have different leagues ( Bronze, Silver, Gold or whatever)
There could be better rewards for higher leagues, this would mean that higher level players would play in the higher level leagues in order to get better rewards, whilst lower level players would be in with a chance with winning at least some low level uniques/rewards from the lower leagues. This keeps the idea of improving your skill at the game whilst also keeping the idea of whoever plays better gets rewarded more.

There are already rewards you can get in the leagues as it stands. If you race 7 times and get a point each race you get a reward and 7 chances at rewards.
What you are proposing is separating the leagues so that people like you never have a chance at the better rewards in the higher leagues. At least the way it is now you have a chance.

My statement was correct Zelpo. You get 7 chances. They may be small. But what is there to motivate you to improve if you are getting rewards for only making level 8 in an hour or whatever the low point is?

Why is there a problem with the people who are the best at something being rewarded for it? There were no prizes in the Warcraft 3 tournaments and frankly if you weren't good people harassed you endlessly. People still participated and had a blast.

Some of the people in this forum have a point and instead of calling them cry babies or saying they cant have it their way try being constructive. The best thing about this game is the devs and the fact that they listen to the community and post updates on changes to come and what is being worked on.

I agree racing agisnt the players who play 24/7 and know all the little tricks each and every patch to get ahead makes the race less enjoyable. I have ran about 15 total races most have been with an unenjoyable spec I knew I had to go just to have a chance at being high lv. Normally after the race I remove the gear off the guy and delete him.

Idea: In the future find a way to bracket off players who have larger amounts of points into their own league. Example: 0-40 point accounts all play agisnt each other, 41-120 all play agisnt each other and 120 and up play agisnt each other.

Idea: Maybe when melle gets stronger this will not matter as much, but traps, spells, and ranged players are the only way to win these races. I would like to see a couple races where melle is all you can use and I dont mean ground slam or LS.

I rather enjoyed the cut throat race I played but I believe dropping all items is to harsh. After killing several people which was very fun I got killed myself. After that I became basically useless and had to waste time just trying to find a weapon to use my skills. Keep the exp pen, and maybe have it drop 1 or 2 items at random instead of everything you own. I love pvp and PK i look forward to seeing more come of this league and of the arena pvp in the future.

Sorry mate... Don't mean to be a downer. I just made a few posts above about how moving the really good players into their own league would just mean that everyone else has no chance for certain items. I believe that the current way is the best as everyone has goals to strive for. Yeah we may not win first place, but if there is another league above you then getting first place in B-league means nothing anyway...
