    Besides thereīs always the chance that something goes wrong, just ask Fataldragon69... see what his complaint is.
    Maybe not attractive but certainly more competitive and that's what every Trials game is about and always will be.

    Compulsory? Surely not. It's the persons choice. And every person in the top 1000 can reach legends easily in 28 days (Itīs just about setting a good tactic)...those are the people that actually care about the leaderboard.

    Thats silly. There is competition outside the Bunker in this game. The entire bunker "competition" is forgotten 1 minute after the next season starts. It means nothing. Making Legends means nothing. A person can be competitive, be a top player on the LB, and not like the Bunker. That may not be you, but it describes many people. I got this game before it had a Bunker and it was good. But the Bunker is compulsory to get the tracks if you want to keep a top ranking outside the Bunker. There is no choice involved if that is what you want.

    I am glad you like the Bunker and have the time to spend on it. Its a good thing for you the game matches your play style. Your competition is going to get easier though as these other people drop out one by one as they get tired of the LB issues and bunker hassle. That does not mean you are a more skilled or competitive person though. It just means you will be one of the last competitive people on the sinking ship.

    I played TF also way before bunker, the LB was "fair" because all tracks were available with free to play method. Only some jinxed mystical Fire Oasis - slotmachine track was teasing us.
    All tracks were through missions, slots, loot wheel and anba. No event tracks no bunker prizes, all there just for anyone to take if got enough skill to beat slots missions and rank up.

    Bunker isn't fun. I mainly just open showdowns for the 3 weeks, without even playing them just to get less skilled player to rank up. Maybe sometimes I play few tracks if not in the mood to make new donkey PR's
    Then the last 10 days I start to climb up ranks for legends, or maybe a bit earlier if there is a trackprize that I CAN'T MISS BECAUSE I DROP RANKS OUTSIDE THE BUNKER.
    But it shouldn't be like that.

    ^^^True. I've said since the beginning that all tracks should be available for everyone - otherwise the leaderboard isn't genuine or fair. There are plenty of people below me who are better riders, but they don't have all the tracks. The same applies for those who've gained extra tracks and should be below me.

    I never said I like the bunker. I hate it actually

    + You have 28 days to get there...so I don't see a problem.
    The problem is, most of us have other things in our lives that we need to do. Also, a lot of us are sick of the bunker, and don't even like it in the first place. This game was created, and ran without it, for over a year. It's not that it's hard. I haven't missed one yet, and I really haven't had much trouble getting there. I've been legend 13 times or something. It's just boring and tedious.
