If we gave large reward points prizes for getting to certain levels then all players who are competing in Season One would feel compelled to get to that level in the one week race for the sake of getting those prizes. It would mean that people's hard work getting to the skill level required to win decent point rewards from the shorter races would be invalidated by slow and steady participation in this league (a week is plenty of time to get to level 60 or whatever the tier would be).

If we gave out small rewards points prizes for specific levels then people would complain that getting to level 60 is too much work for say two points (compared to the shorter duration races). Our goal is not to make people play in a one week event for the sake of it. They should play because they're going to have fun or because they think they can do it better than other players.

The goal of the one week race is to:
a) Provide a place where people who want a fresh league/economy for a week can play. These people don't necessarily care about the season reward points.
b) Provide a way for racers to show their mastery of longer duration events. They have to make tough choices about how much of that one week event they want to give up for smaller events that may win them more (or less, upon death) prizes.

There will be other one week events in the future with much more generous prize structures. That's not appropriate for this particular slot in Season One though.

We are listening hard to the feedback and making changes (for example moving the event times around to be better for Americans and adding one-point thresholds for the shorter races). I'm sorry that we're holding our ground with this race, but we do feel it's going to be a fun event and an important (but not overwhelming) contributor to the results of Season One.

I wish more people would actually read this post before complaining. Rewards are just that REWARDS. If you don't like the prizes for a race then goto another race. There actually are other races. Like people have said. It is more worth while for them to go play a bunch of small races. Then great go do that if that makes you happier.
Stop complaining about bonuses, GGG is not obligated to get everyone the coral ring or any of the prizes. If you race and get the points you get it, if not then you don't. They aren't giveaways so please stop acting like they are.
Just upset that I read through more than 10 pages of people complaining when many of them already said themselves their solution. If you want to do many small ones instead of a big race go do it.

Most marathons I have seen have no rewards of any kind and you still have to pay to participate so I don't know what people are complaining about on that note. And again, if you want a reward for leveling play in the other races. Ok you don't have 1 week of time to race ... soooo play in the shorter races that give you points for leveling. There are 11 other races Mon-Sat and you are complaining.
