I'm not sure you understand the basic concept of independent variable. Fair has nothing to do with whether some players can have OP gear and run maps. That's an independent variable that's inevitable - gear will always affect stats and will affect dmg which will affect rate at which mobs die. That doesn't suddenly mean you should introduce another variable —*random maps —*and say that hey since it's already not fair let's make it more unfair! That type of logic doesn't hold in even the most basic sense.

Fairness of opportunity is one thing. People have the opportunity to get gear. That's always been a concept. This isn't communism where every player deserves the best gear. "Little bit of luck" You're saying that you should literally make timed runs have 0 skill and just based on whether you have a good map.

Overall, I find your idea rather fatuous and frankly quite terrible. Also if you think that gear is everything (I agree now it's becoming a bigger part of timed) then ask any high gear person to get a timed run. It seems to me you're just salty that you don't have a chance of getting a timed run since you're not willing to put in the time/money or even effort to get it.

In essence, no game is ever "fair" —*to use the concept as you're using it makes little to no sense. Tell me a multiplayer game in which the game is your version of fair —*i.e. everyone has the best gear, everyone has op everything etc. See how silly that sounds?

sorry but gear is the first step to everything ... movement speed awakenings, op jewel slots for damage and stat boost etc etc etc and all these attributes are very expensive, and if you think you dont need op gear to run a timed map then well ... ill say no more.
And NOT everyone can afford the best gear, in fact most people cant because of the cost .. so sorry but no, not everyone has the opportunity to get the best gear.

Hmmm ... im not salty in any way any form ... im on the leaderboards as top warrior class so i am very well aware of the time, dedication, effort, and mechanics involved in achieving getting on the leaderboards thank you very much.

As a warrior timed runs are tricky, as my dps is low (even though it sits at around 3.2k dps) its not so easy to be part of a team doing a timed run for warriors ... and its ALL about teamwork once your team has optimised gear. Besides timed leaderboard runs just arent my thing

Im not saying that random maps are more unfair ... im actually saying the independent variable may merely spice things up a bit, and maybe shifts the timed leaderboard positions around. May actually make it more challenging and more fun?

I can see you are on the leaderboards for timed runs, and because of the random map content and length mausoleum timed runs would be more challenging no? (there are over 40 m6 variations of the map i believe) ... which is why you seem to address my post with aggression and a closed mind, rather than unemotionally attached to the topic and able to be open to new ideas and opportunities, and a kind respectful discussion rather than being rude

Ill tell you the essence of my understanding of the basic concept of the independent variable ... its those special random things that happen that make life truly colourful, interesting, spectacular and awe inspiring .. those moments catch you by surprise when you least expect it, its like thunder bolts of lightening cutting and illuminating the monotony of a regular "stay in the box" of safety way of life ... inside the box is safe, the same, predictable, quantifiable ... outside the box is wild and colourful and a huge wealth of opportunity awaits you should you have the courage to step outside and embrace it. An open inquisitive mind knows no fear, only acceptance, and explores the inevitability of change with diversity and enthusiasm.
All of the most amazing experiences i have witnessed and been a part of in life have come from a completely random moment beyond the dull grey of logic. Every single one. And those times have been eye opening, jaw dropping, simply out of this world, leading to a further deeper understanding of myself (which some may say is the very essence of the meaning of life ... self awareness and self understanding?)
I could share some of those times and experiences if i had a mind to (and there are so many ive lost count) ..... but that would take a lot of time and trust, and this thread is neither the time, the space, nor the company for that particular discussion.

On a last note:
Albert Einstein didnt make his discoveries by following the norm and living in a box ... an apple randomly fell on his head ... a moment of that special "independent variable" and boom, gravity is conceptualised.
