Am I the only one who has no idea what "you must submit your kills in the Path of Exile Community Racing Discord" means?

I rarely use Discord, and I fail to see the point of having to "submit" (how?) our progress somewhere.

Am I missing something?

Yet again another boring gauntlet made by organizers who rinse and repeat the same perspective of making it "hard" to see who comes out on top. These gauntlets shouldn't just have added mods, this makes them extremely boring and prizes and prize pools are only for people who are unemployed/streamers and can put a significant amount of time investment into the game. 90% of the time you see they same streamers on the top of the ladder because they're aloud to put in 16-24+ hours a day or more for an event outcome that is basically the same as other gauntlets. There should be more unique things happening during these gauntlets other then just making it harder. Cool, you add MTX prizes for people who can't put in time investment like other people. But at the same time there can be alot more done on planning side of things to make these more interesting. I find it hard to believe that the same organizers are tailoring these events because the gauntlet is supposed to be a HARD CHALLENGE. But in the end you're just playing through the game with additional map mods and running mostly white/blue maps for the entirety of the event regardless whether or not you are doing yellow maps to complete a bounty... The gauntlet was cool the first few times. But now it probably has the worst player retention out of any path of exile event because the organizers only tailor these events to people who can actually waste 3/4th's of there day every day of the event to actually participate for meaningful rewards. Sure you could look at it and play it as a personal achievement and goal, but for people who actually want to participate that actually work 10-hour shifts a day like I do 6days a week, we can't actually participate in any bounties or boss kill events because there is no /played system in effect for us to compete in, its just whoever is the first to do it. These events should be looked at in a more broad perspective, and there would be more retention behind them if the organizers weren't lazy and did small tweaks. Next time think about all of the players instead of the so called "ELITE" (people who actually participate 16h days to the event). Because in the end this event is only made for like maybe 50+ people. We see the same 10 people competing every gauntlet for top placement because they actually have the time to put into these events, because none of these events are based on /played. Which is understandable considering the fact that a /played event style makes you have to min/max ur time investment with being AFK. But this is a required sacrifice for other people being able to participate. I personally would not like to see another gauntlet after this one, But if one came sure, Cool. But I would rather another event then the gauntlet happen that I could actually participate in.
