I think Golden Cycle is stupid. Players are virtually forced to participate during these cycles if they want to score big. It exclusively caters for players in the US/Canada time zones. Where I am, Golden Cycle occupies 2AM - 8AM and 8AM - 2PM on weekdays. As you can guess I'm either asleep or busy at work during those times.

The only golden cycle that is remotely suitable for me to participate in is the 6AM - 12PM EDT. Which is 8PM - 2AM where I live. The latest I sleep is 12AM so I am unable to monitor my rivals' progress for a whole 2 hours which easily allows them to overtake me.

So yes. I have missed out on every weekday golden cycle besides the 6AM - 12PM EDT which I half-participated in and failed to rank 1st despite having a 70k point buffer against 2nd place before going to sleep. As a result of these golden cycles, my rank has rapidly plunged from B to C to D. Very unfair if you live in a time zone that is not in US/Canada.
