That way people who don't have gems can spend as much time as they want competing in bronze, while silver and gold would be time limited for those who prefer that.

    If you just drop times you focus more and more on a subset of players who prefer that style and leave everyone else behind. Not good for growing the game.
    RNG isn't all that necessary. in Gold i had horrible rng. Basically crafted 4, yes 4 assault rare pieces which I used to pass TL75. I also did NOT buy any crafting crates, just used the level 15 one as a starting point. I agree that better rng luck can make it much easier. But here I am, sitting on tl90, with 30mins left for the final push. Total gem spent (including the xp reforge) is about 4k for gold league. No $ purchase etc. Did I mention that I passed tl90 with 1 rare crafted hood, and 1 epic chest piece? No assault hood drop or from random set box the entire time.

    Btw as an aside, I have just been made aware that there are exploits where one can repeatedly open the same random set box until the desired piece is produced. As well as certain botting methods that are yet closed... Getting desired salvage results (as in multiple greater essence every salvage) etc Basically anything that's supposedly left to chance can be gamed at this point. So for a certain set of players, there is no luck involved and we aren't in a fair competition. No amount of grinding will make one competitive against those... So less time means less time wasted to finish a league. Let's get our cboxes and call it a night.

    started a topic ANB leagues durations

    ANB leagues durations

    After completing (almost, just 30mins left for gold) the three ANB leagues, I would like to suggest the following:
    Reduce bronze league time limit from 12hrs to 10hrs. Reduce silver league time limit from 9hrs to 8hrs. Gold league 6hrs is short and sweet.

    The previous 12hr time limit was still too grindy imho.

    I'm slowly coming around this constant ANB league thing. Let the cbox rain!
Working...
