I was told by Gaile and other sources you earn 50 gamer points when you win a race. I barley received above 10 with each victory. WHat gives?

its not fun when you play the same track over and over again... at least to me its not. but if you are easily entertained by repetiveness go for it.

well, my last post was when I just started doing it, I'll have to agree that it's not fun going around the same track...

-_- I always get the last place because I get teleported back on each turn..

I wonder if that armor that lengthens the knockdown time affects the race?

I think it would be smart if they either,

A.) Kept this as a permanent addition.
B.) Buff gamer point rewards. Seriously, I know you have to grind these points for it, but... This is just ridiculous.

Those are the lunar tokens you win at the end of the race. He's referring to the gamer points needed to get the title. I'm not quite sure how many gamer points you get, but no way could it be 50. Else I'd be close to the "Skillz" title by now (I'm good at the races).

OT: Does the rock paper scissors game give you gamer points?

You get the same amount of gamer points as you do lunar tokens.

Throwing in the towel at 27 gamer points. First 3 races were fun, then... not so much anymore. Not my thing. At this rate I need another 5 events to get Skillz (1).

Sorry, the skillz title (In the races) doesn't mean you are skilled. It just means you have a very expensive computer and internet.

I don't want it anyway. If I have one pet peeve, it's intentional bad spelling.

I wanted Uber Micro Skillz (5) but at this ridiculously slow rate... I can't even achieve Skills (1).

Anet why did you make the rewards of these races so... crappy? Not to mention the rubber-banding is awful.

Well I've gotten over 300 gamer points from this so far. I've been 1st-2nd place on average in all 70 or so games I've played. It's fun but getting kinda boring now. I think a few random race tracks would be a good idea and it'll also make it harder slightly..like 1%.

Welcome, PvE'ers, to rubberbanding - an issue that has plagued PvP matches for a long, long time now and something several hundred people have complained about constantly for months.

You go ahead and watch it get fixed now it's affecting this. =P

remove reconnects and we'll have no rubberbanding = more fun beetle racing.

Yea erm so was I and she said it was 10...

No actually I wasnt but you see how easily I said that.

You saying you were there isnt proof.

Why would it be 50 if snowball was only 10?

Because the snowball arena was there for practically a month and coming into first place for the Race isn't easy.

It's not easy, but it's certainly not hard.
