"Time" is the actual keyword here, i already mentioned the math above, nearly 3 points per event for every event, thats simply not doable for 99% of the players, even 100 races done is probably out of the question for anyone who works 8 hours a day.

Take off your elitest glasses for a moment and actually think rather than making the assumption that people here are complaining because they think theyre entitled to getting rewards without any effort.

Your logic is flawed because you assume the "99%" are somehow entitled to getting the high season point race rewards. Gated content or, in this case, gated race rewards is nothing new. This is the same argument as people complaining about Uber Atziri. It's part of the game. It shouldn't be a level playing field for everyone. You can easily just play the game, save currency, and trade for the items that are race rewards.

Just as the races to level 100, the total points for a race season are nothing you should care about if you a normal person. WHy being so butthurt, if there are people who are willing to sacrifice their health messing up their sleep for an alternate art unique it's their choice, I couldn't care less, I prefer health. The biggest problem here is that the racing season is global, it just doesn't make any sense that people plan their life around some virtual races that happen anywhere within a 24 hour time interval.
Still it's probably the best GGG can do and it's the idiots that think they have to do them ALL.

Anyway I'm only doing endless ledges and burst races, the others bore me just by looking at them. It's time for something new, we all have seen Descent and Descent champions enough times by now. And 2 hours fixed seed? Damn I rather do 2 hours of hillock runs, that will give more satisfaction :p

Once again someone failed to understand the whole argument.

It's all about:

Video game vs. Real-life job.

PoE is becoming more and more like a real-life job, there's no justification to this.

Sure if you want to no-life the game and fuck up your own health, be my guest, but don't "balance" events that should be for everybody due to such people.

I understand what you're saying but what is the solution, splitting up in timezones? Splitting up gives advantages to the smalles group. And it's not just EU and Murica, you also have Asia/Oceania. I understand the situation is really absurd at this point, but still so many people actually do it (wrecking their real life), if people stopped doing that they would look different at it.

But it's the same for level 100, no one with a regular life will EVER be level 100 and get 8/8 challenges, should they scrap that as well?

So many people would be happy in this game if they just set their own goals instead of looking at others all the freaking time ...

I mean so many people are doing the challenges while most of them are the pinnacle of anti-fun. Why do something in a GAME that is anti-fun? I don't get it. I admit I did the same in WoW back in teh day and one day I realised 'Wtf am I doing here, I'm getting pissed off and angry in a game I play in my free time.'
Btw that's why I move PoE, I don't have to look at anyone to have fun, I hate trading so I barely do it only in extreme cases but I don't go complain this game is not for self found players. I do race here and there but I set my own goals and stopped looking at the guy that is 10 levels higher in just 15 minutes and go 'WTF', I realise it's practice and I can't be bothered to practice the same thing over and over and over and over again. I just try to beat my previous record, that's it, no frustration.
Maybe GGG should lower the attention to that e-penis, those challenges are the worst, the ones that bother are machines not having fun doing them, but gratz they got some real life award for it they can hang on the wall for when their family comes to visit and say 'wtf is that'?

Less than a month-long race season? Unless the points structure has radically changed in the new formats, that doesn't provide much opportunity for "also ran" racers like myself to achieve significant points totals. I am also concerned about the race dynamics introduced with the "enhanced" Brutus and Merveil fights. They are definitely gonna create some difficulties for more casual racers, and I expect a big shake-out as a result. ='[.]'=

85dps on a atk + at least 50% cold resist and 450+ hp merveil should be doable get around those stats asap numbers based on personal experience

since you have an incredible amount of racepoints = zero (which means you have no fucking clue at all but still give your opinion for some unknown reason)

let me give you a quick review how casual racing looks like
as a europe player most of the casual races like endless ledge decend and so on take place in the middle of the night you grab 7-10 points each race if you dont die if you die you get nothing
so you settle for a reward round 300
my goal last sesaon was the bereks grip 360 points there is no way a working class citizen can reach 600 points or 1000 no way
