I'm not sure why the dislike for Captn. Shank, he got bashed badly in another thread. He didn't create the new system, he was simply playing what was available to him. He didn't go out of his way to sandbag or anything. Hell, if he'd only included some bethpage RGs into the mix, he'd probably have never made legend and would still be dominating on kiawah and st andy.
I totally understand you legends being angry about the current state of RG's, I heard that a recent one had 9 tour masters in the top 12, that's a joke. For me, it isn't worth it to play them at all as it is now, and I will continue to abstain from playing any more at a disadvantage.
I'm not sure tier specific RGs are the answer either, lets face it, there are not that many legends. If you are in the bottom half of legends in terms of ability, you are gonna get fleeced pretty severely vs a very small player pool containing all the site's best players. Literally ever RG would be like an all star game with the icon's and jake's viz's price's as there would only be 1 or 2 of each RG starting per day.
