It is not even worth to try to compete anymore for ranking. A friend directed me to a website where there are tons of bots: Ghom bots, Bounty bots, Rift bots, of course Turbo Hud, advanced macros, etc... Call me naive but I did not think it was so extensive.
So I went to look at a well known Twitcher (Who got his account cancelled last season) and watched him play for a good 30 minutes doing 80+ GR. What an eye opener it was!!!
1 - The team of four NEVER ended up in a dead end while doing a GR. NEVER!
2 - It seems they knew exactly where was each pylon and each elite group.
3 - During the whole time I watched him, His eyes continuously went to his left. It took me a while to figure out what it was. I think he was watching one of his team mate steaming privately with Turbo Hud on.
4 - I noticed also quite some feasts of jumping VERY FAST out of trouble. He never was caught on the ball of an arcane. He and his team mates were able to jump very fast and each time out of ice explosion or ice orbs. I watched quite a few times Quinn and he is not THAT good like those players.
A friend failed a 100% upgrade. I saw it with my own eyes. He had 4 tries at 100% and ended up with 3 upgrades total. He clicked fast on the button and he clicked them all because we could close the gr.
The odds are bugged too:
The distribution of success rate of 80% is abnormal. I wrote down until yesterday for 4 days the success rates (I posted on blizzard board) and I am very unlucky or there is something amiss.
The distribution of success rate of 60% is abnormal too. I have a failure rate over 90% for the 60% odd. It is not on a few tens of tries but close to 300 now.
Last season I kept records for close to 1300 non-100% tries (I wanted 2 full set (26 gems) level 70 for the calderann's despair when the season ended) and the distribution of results were quite close to the said upgrade odds (Of course, I had a lot less 90%-80%-70% tries so those are further than 60%-30% tries).Right now, the 80% and 60% distribution is horrible.
P.S.: For the trolls talking about RNG (but not knowing stats and probabilities) and considering a 90% failure for 60% it completely normal BECAUSE IT IS RNG, before posting on that thread, just make an easy Excel macro, generate ONLY 150 numbers from 1 to 100, and calculate the distribution. You will see it will be trending very close toward 50%.

Anyway. I am just sayin here...

I am convinced the gem upgrade IS bugged.
