If the reward for the week long races were good people would feel like they have to do it and there would be complaints.

The perceived entitlement is astounding. You want everyone to be able to get the top tier reward? It just makes the rewards worthless and un-unique if everyone has one.

At the moment these are the rewards GGG have decided on

Some people, including myself just like to race. Getting ANY reward for it is a bonus, at least that's how it works in my mind and in the real world. Yeh, most of the posts here are complaining that the rewards for racing don't meet some preset currency value that they can obtain playing in the permanent league or what they were used to in closed beta but so what. It's not like olympic athletes get a special bonus for winning events, or clearing milestones. There's an overwhelming amount of "me" and child like behavior demonstrated about what people feel they deserve to be compensated in order to "spend" their time competing.

Grow up kids. You don't compete for prizes, you compete to get better and for the love of the sport. Everyone is so entitled these days. -=(

You my friend are awesome! I chose to quote you because we are like minded and it was much easier than quoting all of these whining little girls posts. Then proceeding to call them out for being the pretentious douche bags with god complexes that they are. Who do nothing but bitch when they don't have an edge or feel like I can't win because of blah blah blah, wah wah wah. So what if It's a grind fest for the no-lifer. Maybe he/she can't win a one or two hour race because they game at a slower pace. Well now all they have to do stay alive and out grind the other no-lifers. Who cares about the damn rewards, its a god damn game. A fucking race. The only prize even worth a damn is knowing how you stack up against the rest. All you spoon fed self entitled thumb suckers can flip your monopoly boards and whatever else you want with your time. That incentive enough for me to participate in this race. DIAF...

Thanks GGG, some of us do appreciate what you for the community.

Sorry but fake achievements don't mean anything to me. "Knowing how I stack up" doesn't matter. Why should I spend 80+ hours playing, just to find out that the guy that played 120 hours beat me. Of course he beat me, he played 33% more time. That doesn't show me how I stack up, that shows me that spending more time yields better results which makes sense. I don't play games for fun... I play them to achieve something, or else I am just wasting time. The "fun" I have playing games is competing and winning as well as earning achievements. Just sitting down and playing a game for a few hours and not accomplishing anything isn't fun to me. I also like to be very efficient with my time, and because of that this race is just a no-brainer to stay away from. Not only will I have to invest more time but I will also get less reward for spending more time. It just doesn't make sense.

Also people are saying that the rewards couldn't be good for the week race or else people would feel the need to participate. That is just a bunch of crap. It has the same effect the other way around... because the week race rewards are so bad I feel the need to compete in the 13 small events happening in the same time-frame. Yet nobody seems to bring that point up.

I just don't feel like playing 80+ hours in the week race just to wind up in the top 50 and only get 10 points, when I can play all 13 small races which is a combined 30 hours of play time... and I don't even have to win a single one. In fact I can just reach the lowest level reward and stop, because 1 point per race is still 13 which is 3 more than I would get in a week race for about 33% of the time spent playing.

You Don't play for fun or for fake achievements. Yet you state your version of "fun" is playing to achieve something. This fun that you're not having by resorting you your version of "fun", is to compete in a video game for what I like to call "achievements". They are not real, its a Video game which is fictional. Look up the definition of fiction this is still stumping you.
