I recently read through the updated rules for the speedrun and I have an issue with the crystal isle low rng run. Although I do agree it has a place for people to run the map in a way that doesn't require finding a alpha wyvern due to its horrible spawn rate I have an big issue with the choosing of spawn location, I have detailed my reasoning in more detail on the discord sever in the criticism chat. In summary through having the alpha wyvern not spawn in at around 70% percent of the time therefore not letting the run be completed is a valid reason to have a category that bypasses that if a runner doesn't want to deal with not being able to complete the map 70% of the time. however the varying spawn locations of the map do not inhibit the runners ability to complete the map merely their time. Hence I think that this rule needs to be removed because if a runner truly wants a good time then they should be willing to wait out multiple saves in order to get the best possible run. Obviously the counter argument is that it is just a waste of time as it doesn't show any varience in skill and the run hasn't started yet, however using the argument that it just wastes time is applicable to all forms of rng within all runs across the game such as using that logic you should be allowed to spawn in dinos rather than "waste time with rng finding one".

Yes.

are you going to remove the spawn point rule from the low rng run then?

what you really want to say is: "remove Mavericks run from the leaderboard"

done

I wasn't trying to make an attack on your run at all, so please don't take it personally. I just disagreed with the rules and gave a reason as to why I thought it was bad. One of my motivators is that my runs on youtube already get a lot of hate when it comes to the rates/spawn codes I use, and I didn't want the image of the this games speedrun to get worse than what it is as it does look very "cheaty" to a normal ark player.
