".......... including the #8 spot in Amirdrassil, despite stalling for nearly a thousand pulls against Tindral Sageswift."There you go. Anybody surprised they are burned out?When exactly do you cross the threshold for a world frist to be considered a job and not fun anymore? 100 pulls? 250 pulls? 500 pulls?I would think that the difficulty is turned up way too hard when top notch players have to do 1000 pulls to take down some colored pixels. Blah, blah, blah....BUT IT"S MYTHIC......commnets now please."Though with the cost of the Race to World First continually reaching new all-time highs, many of the major western competitors also spend months doing gold sales to help pay off billions in debt from PvP boosts, raid splits, BoEs, gear trades, crafting, and consumables."So, Blizzard prints its own ingame currency a la the USA government who prints their own money backed by nothing. Then they make the race to world first insanely stupidly difficult in order to foster a lets make them use real life money to get anything attitude. If guilds get bosses down too quickly then hide punishments for doing well behind the old "its the RNG, stupid" matra.
This was always going to happen without a rule set to keep things sane. Just look at sports leagues the world over and the way they keep the deep pockets from buying out the competition.
I've read this whole article but I don't fully understand it. What does the sponsor get out of this, exactly?And these guilds selling Mythic runs for $7, is that within the rules in TW WoW? If not, it seems fairly easy for them to detect who's doing it and ban them. Or do they not do that because it's most of the playerbase involved?

Not going to lie. If I could do a 9/9 M Amirdrassil run for $7 US I'd be on that like white on rice, a paper plate and a glass of milk in a snow storm. You could put an asterisk next to my achievement, I couldn't care less. To get the title and mount for $7 would be worth it.
