World First race is irrelevant

[Doctor Funkenstein]

They have hired plenty of former hardcore raiders, it just isn't realistic that they can internally test everything that the entire playerbase might come up with(although they do miss plenty of obvious stuff).

Yeah it is. Your lack of imagination (or just ability to think logically) notwithstanding.

And no, PTR testing isn't cheating...

Yes it is. Your ignorance notwithstanding.

It was always irrelevant. The only mention is just a post at mmo champion home page that this guild was world 1st, and that's it. Nothing more mentioned about it.

With the obscene amount of term of service breaking going on in the world first race every single tier, the fact it gets any attention at all is beyond me. account sharing being the major culprit here. With the lack of guilds are up at world first anymore "Variety" the race is stagnant and boring. and watching them break the terms of service to win an irrelevant race is even worse. the lack of action taken by Blizzard to curb any of this is astonishing, but I am more or less surprised people defend these guilds *staring at method as the obvious culprit though there are others*

I am in no means saying Method is a bad guild *don't stone me here* however the way scene has played out over the years with the rather illicit way they go about trying for world firsts makes the race boring. there are no more variety of guilds all at the top competing for that #1 spot. going back to atleast tier 15 you had method at the #1 spot until Exorsus took over a tier ago. they are all fantastic players, but raiding taken from their wowprogress page " During progress raids our schedule is really demanding: we raid 12-15 h/day and it's really important you understand this before even thinking about applying or poaching an officer in-game in order for us not to waste yours/ours time." and people who follow the guild have observed the blatant account sharing going on or their other shennanigans Dragon soul LFR abuse "http://www.wowhead.com/news=198313/4-3-looking-for-raid-exploits-lead-to-multiple-bans-in-top-guilds"

TLDR
World first race is stale full of people account sharing trying to obtain world first at something that doesn't matter. their has not been any competition in the race for several tiers now having two guilds isnt a competition its a race and nothing more. Blizzard needs to punish these guilds that break the Terms of service for trying to get a world first because its nonsense that it continues to go on.

You are entitled to your opinion. However, it shouldn't bother you. If you don't care about the mythic race, feel free to look the other way. Let the rest of the people enjoy it. Obviously a lot of people here care about who, how and how fast clears the hardest content in the game. Especially when the last bosses are barely possible with available gear. This is interesting to a lot of people, they follow it. Just like people follow world cup in football. Then there's a dude saying: "Wtf, you people watchin how 22 people kick some ball around tryin to put it between 2 poles.. It's stupid. They also keep faking shit, and judges are sometimes corrupt.". Don't be that dude. Nobody likes that dude.

You have me confused with someone who gives a fuck.

They can easily hire professional playtesters, complete with NDAs and conditions that they not be members of a "hardcore" raid guild, amongst other things. The fact that they don't is entirely on them and their cheap asses. And I will continue not to give a flying fuck about "first!!!" guilds for that very reason. They want to cheat, so be it. (And yes, practicing weeks in advance when not everyone else is is cheating. Just because you can do it doesn't mean it isn't. I mean, I can walk into a Las Vegas casino with loaded dice. Nothing in the world stops me from doing so. But if I use them, I'm cheating. Same fucking difference.)

everyone else has the option to try the fights week in advance...

Results prior to adjustments cannot be compared to those afterwards.
The world first race is perhaps one of those times most prone to adjustments, such that an encounter can even change from one attempt to the next, so somewhat changing the meaning of a success before someone else.

There's been quite a few obvious account sharing. One of the players is known to multi-box and suddenly his multi-box characters are also apart of the kill? So you're saying a multi-boxer is able to do arguably one of the hardest bosses in current raid tier? Yeah no, account sharing is obvious.

They're probably not because why if you have a large enough roster. But you can def multi-box at that level. Ultra-wide monitor, ahk scripts to move mouse between game windows, naga mouse and everything bound, weakauras on your 'main' to track the cooldowns for the other char, and click to move enabled.

pve is competitive in wow and there will always will be some crazy guys willing to die to be the best at anything, stacking cups or bench press.

kinda sucks that blizzard for as long as wow is out didnt give a fuck about the pve race once, no reward no money, nothing. they only did a few blizcon speed-clears and called it a day.

What a terrible display of racism.
