Comment by GravitizedIts over. Let it end. Move on.Comment by SargerasWasRightIt got weird the moment anyone gave a damn about esports nonsense in the first place.Comment by CorpselanceI had to google "mukbang."Comment by aaron000race to world first ended several days ago, come onComment by Luck4The only thing weird is the obsession with this "event".

Make this BS a contained tournament like AWC and MDI, and spare the game and the community from this nonsense.

The game is FINALLY, for once, tuned properly for the enjoyment of the vast majority of the audience.Comment by Phindecanorace to world first ended several days ago, come onComment by Rufixrace to world first ended several days ago, come onComment by Sadeas1337Blizzard and the FIA teamed up to create a season of complete nonsense in my life :|Comment by lovelywazRace?

What "race" when there's a one week pitstop? 🤦‍♂️Comment by HambamwamThe only thing weird is the obsession with this "event".

Blizzard can't win. What do they actually want?Comment by HambamwamRWF players will be the first to say it's not challenging enough and too easy, but at the same time go degen mode to make it less challenging with splits and hired analysts/programmers making addons...?

Just enjoy it.Comment by p00pyjoelThis has been one of the best seasons in a long time. I don’t give a damn about the WFR. They make the game miserable until the race is over, thankfully not this time around.Comment by HambamwamThis has been one of the best seasons in a long time. I don’t give a damn about the WFR.

RWF players, just like most raiders, want to feel challenged by the content they choose.
Comment by greatbalanceI think not catering to the top 0.1% is a good thing and actually I think tuning is fine as we mortals don't run 20 splits and have jobs and a life. I would keep this tuning if I were Blizzards there is more money to be made when the game is easier and thousands enjoy some content so I as Blizzard would keep it that way even if it means this RWF @#$% is going to die.Comment by EurootjeThe only thing weird is the obsession with this "event".
