Title. Both these events per patch 2.0 were supposed to be single-player events with 1000 player brackets. Prizes were LOWERED to compensate for smaller brackets. Now we have larger brackets and the same prizes, not to mention a two day slog through the event to earn low value rewards for the comparative effort. I can only assume that this is a technical issue and not an unannounced change directly counter to the official patch notes.
This is not only sloppy but anti-consumer. Please let us know when we can expect a timetable for an upcoming fix and/or compensation for the somewhat terrible user experience on the whole this last week.
