Why are people disappointed they have small or no chances at the top spots in a highly competitive event? You don't have to participate in all the competitions in your life, just choose the battles in your life you can win, for which you are well prepared... even if it's a battle with selling most MU you ever sold...
A lot of people already started preparations, this is till RCE and it's not always about the top place. For the top place you have to work your ass off, one way ot another. It's RCE and there will be a TON of markup to be made on the one that will want to participate in ALL forms starting from fruits and sweat. If you are sad you cannot compete, make some PEDs at least and mprove your avatar and maybe one day you will be at the top of your category.
The event looks pretty cool, it definately won't be a handout but a fierce battle in all categories on all 3 professions. Last time there was an event like this I wasn't even lvl 40 in anything....
People should really stop finding reasons for everything suck and start finding where they can really perfom and get a favorable angle otherwise it's never gonna happen...
Life sucks but it can't be that bad all the time, you have to be positive and you have to do some work of you want thins to get better and things will get better 100%.
I'm grateful there are still folks at MA that think of bringing back higher level competitions and pretty happy all professions are involved, as you asked all year long... just find your angle.
