Even if you are counting just practicing the race, and each practice took you 10 minutes each, its still an impossible amount of times [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
This is the exact reason other guilds cant race, they dont understand test server practice. I dont blame you for thinking the way you do, I would just like you to understand I can run a statue race in under 91 seconds and within 1 second be back and repeat it. And not all races need to be run to completion anyways.

Again, you guys like to assume an awful lot. You worded at you had "2500 races" I did not think when you mentioned this you were considering your practice runs against no one "racing for statue"

What is your practice to actual race ratio then? Seeming how you want to try and deflect by acting like you have more experience. I just ran a statue run on a test server i help run for P99 and got 97 seconds, was like my 3rd time ever doing it.

Even if you spent only 2 minute on each "race" of 2500 that 5000 minutes of your life you spent practicing "racing" for velious mobs in 2021.

Cringe and act like your level of knowledge is unreachable. Fine by me.

If you would like you can come on OUR test server right now and beat our best leader board race of 93 seconds for Statue. I helped set this practice server up so <ST> and <TSS> could use it, not because I had a desire to win some trivial race, but to help some people out who im friends with, and have fun.

Cheers.

Listen im not trying to brag, or make anyone else feel bad. Im saying we arent cheating, we are spending hours a week practicing on test server. You are taking other peoples comments and using them against me. I just said he practice, and said how much we practice. We have a small group of racers who have FUN racing and consider the competition to be between each other. We have more fun racing on test server than we do sitting afk at idol camps. Im sure you can understand

I'd be glad to hop on you're test server, just hit me with the info.

Heh i honestly only said something because I read it as you saying you raced for 2500, not practice. 2500 practices doesnt seem crazy with the length of the windows on p99 it would make since to have plenty of time to practice while waiting for spawns.

I did throw the cringe out in response to others so fair enough there, however you did try to make it seem like the reason other guilds on the server dont "compete" because they arent smart enough to figure out basic things, like practicing on a test server. I understand having a group of friends attempting to beat each other for fun, and also getting better in the process! That i can get behind 100%

Sent ya a DM with insructions on getting imported into our test server to top try and top the leaderboard [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Fair enough, I didnt come across very kind with that statement. Apologies [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Looking forward to giving a whirl at your test server, looks neat!

Another idea I just thought of to make racing more competitive is a handicap system similar to golf. Your best race time is used to calculate your handicap which is how far up past the race line you get to start.

Actually I just did some research and in real racing they handicap the fastest by slowing them down, not giving the slower a head start.

If any vanqs wanna see how much coppper we need to add per decisecond of race hit me up and we can work this system out.

So was this statement just a lie after all considering newly found evidence that's come to light or naw? Lel.
