i'm pretty sure those kind of speed worlds are a liability by now for the majority of the community...always the same players that are totally addicted to this game play em and win em. either fairly - by crazy no lifing, or cheating and/or exploiting or abusing game rules
it also gives a huge advantage on normal servers compared to those who don't play speed worlds, with the gringo rewards (that me and others have been complaining about for 2 years or so)
the frequency of them is also absolutely ridiculous...what is it, 3, 4 or a year?
the idea is 1 speed world per year at most. i'd prefer no gringos as rewards. even if i own some parts..i know how bad they are to the game. that set was designed as a reward for 3 players on international gold rush...across all countries. gold rush that happened once every 5 years or whatever? even the frequency of that was raised, and funny enough...there were no gringos rewards there. like what?
the way i see it: you remove the tryharders who play only for the rewards and you can finally enjoy the idea of a speed server...progressing faster and all that stuff. you can make them fun instead of a burden to play (like the classic server was for some players)
