The following was my post on my TeamUSA Discord. I'll leave a copy here as well.
Someone at VR with 5th grade Math skills just ripped my heart out. I would have broken 4800 in only 40 races when the Vendee and JV conclude. Two things have kept me coming back, my love of navigation and building my VSR Rating. This truly is a deal breaker for me. I am crushed that something we have all put our hearts and minds and $$$ into is being tossed in the Bin. How many 3AM alarms have we all set to check our boat and protect our VSR. My 4747 rating is something I have taken pride in building and had a goal of 4900+ in 50 races. I can't imagine what is going through the minds of all you brilliant sailors and the likes of Geo, LUKA, Nicky, Ginn, Smit, Truffle, MCC, Boss, Ouwe, Awkward and the Ghost who have attained stratospheric 4800+ ratings. I am very sad as I have suspected this was coming for a little while now. Congratulations to Nicki761 being our top ranked teammate 65th in the VR Universe! I will still be around for the sailing, but see absolutely no reason to ever spend another Dime. At 30Euro for the Jules Verne alone it will be my final swan song of the Pay to play. Those same stratospheric ratings have price tags to match, the value of which is the rating. A little part of me died today.
