The Race to World First in Nerub-ar Palace Has Begun!

Prior to heroic week starting, i believe the alt count was in the range of 16 toons ready to go.

You sound jealous that you can’t make a living off of a hobby.

FWIW literally none of the guilds that’ll actually win this race are doing the exploit in question.

Guilds like Gachi Squad, Fighting Penguins, Genei Ryodan, and okay boomer have little to no success in Mythic raids but are the ones exploiting the lockout system like crazy. And every single person in these guilds participating in this exploit should be perma banned with no chance to appeal.

If you make a living out of something it becomes a job. I play wow to enjoy it, not min/maxing the fun right out of it.

It’s one step away from spreadsheet analysis.

Some people enjoy min/maxing

Hell, I knew a guy who loved spreadsheets

Does that person do that for a living? Spreadsheets and min/maxing something?

Yea, they’re a cpa, they love spreadsheets, math, all that

They also do min/maxing and spreadsheeting in games for fun

lol i laughed to hard at this. its literally blizzard and them dudes that live in that smelly warehouse getting food catered to them while they sleep on the floors for a race nobody gives a rats ______ about. this is why the game is in the toilet. blizzard is so out of touch.

Eh good for them. I’m the type that once I “have” to do something, I hate it.

Piling a lot of buzzwords on there

And I mean… a lot of people watch it or there would be zero point in sponsoring it

I want to see regular guilds with regular jobs fighting for the top spot, not esports teams.

It’s never been regular folks with regular jobs, usually it’s been college kids

College kids are regular folks and can have regular jobs. These are not regular college kids. I’m just taking your word that these people are college kids. Idk

All sponsorships have done is allow more people, including the us, tonparticipate

Whatever you say.

Eu dominated for so long because they actually get vacation lol

Great, this still isn’t something for average gamers to participate in.

No competition is generally for the avg person

What the heck would that even look like “gym bros have dropped out of the race this week because half the roster had to return to work and the llamas will be taking Tuesday off because their main tank has to take his wife to dinner”

If it weren’t designed for esports teams with lots of financial backing, it would be.

Raids are not designed for that, they never have been.

This isn’t a blizzard run event
