In total, 490 players received 900 stash tabs and 1080 separate microtransactions between them.

How much more do you want?

He doesn't necessarily want more, he just doesn't want to be a random draw.

Yes but the random draw had me checking my inbox for a reward at rank 5258. That wouldn't happen if top 500 were rewarded. Top 500 people will play no matter what, it's the rest that GGG is interested in attracting and keeping.

The only thing I didn't like about the race was that there was a gigantic gap between TOP 5 or lv70.

By this I mean, I know that as a solo player I had NO chance to compete with a hardcore group, and I'm ok with that, but there was no incentive on going over lv70, I leveled to 83 out of boredom, and to have another 80+ for a free respec, but would have played A LOT more if there was some extra incentive.

Maybe next time prizes should go up to level 90? That would have been enough for me to push harder.

My god this would be awesome because I compete with the groups already solo.

IMO the only disappointing part of the race was I didn't win anything :P

I would have been able to compete with the top 10, but burned myself out on day 2 after I was playing catch-up. I lost 3 hours at the start on the first day cause I had shit to do for Christmas. I agree though if there was like a top 25 reward even if it was trivial I'd go really hard.

did you see the number of people doing the Sc race? about 12000 people created a toon there+ about 3000 in the Hc one.

If you got a prize it s like you dropped a shav...

That's about as likely as a one week Endless Ledge or one week Cutthroat.

Who said anything about the number of prizes? I would care if we got a white 2 handed sword.... just make it competitive again.

Why not? Nothing stopping them from having both random draw prizes and incentives for placement (beyond top 5). Just like they do in seasonal races.

Well, no. I would be able to compete for T500, but did not play because there was no personal incentive for me to do so over playing the regular game.

It's far, far worse than that. The number of entrants is unknown, as both races went over 15,000 entrants (SC 15,000th = L7; HC 15,000th = L4). Hopefully they'll post their race infographic, but given the rush to 1.3.0 they'll probably skip it this time. :(
