8x8 should be a WCA event Mo3

I don't think that 8x8 should be a WCA event, and here's why:
1. 8x8's are expensive, and a magnetic one would be insane
2. Some people (Myself included) already think 7x7 is too big
3. It wouldn't be a fast event, with the uwr being just sub-4
4. Hardware isn't amazing yet like in 7x7

4 (part 2). 8x8 hardware will never be amazing. Even in the 10+ years since the V-Cube 6 was released, 6x6 hardware still sucks. 8x8 hardware would be even worse.

The 1st joke on the forums I actually understand....

i argue that 2x2 is boring, since people dont even care about singles, and its way too easy for it to be a challenge (way too easy for cubers, not noncubers)

honestly, i wouldnt mind that much if 2x2 was removed from WCA

I want to be destroyed by negative reactions

Why though?

2x2 is my favorite event, and by that logic, we can say goodbye to pyraminx and skewb, too.

2x2 is impressive when you can pick it up, solve it one second, then put it down before people even realize what's happened

What are your guys thoughts on GAN cubes?
Other than the larger than average price, what do you guys think is lacking.
Also, MSCube is looking to be a big threat for GAN.

I think that Gan should try to produce a simple, more traditional cube without a fancy tensioning system or adjustable magnets. This wouldn't need to be the flagship, but simply another option.

It's true that it is easy to solve, but optimizing solutions is quite hard, especially during inspection

they have their monster go cubes and RS cube

they have their monster go cubes and RS cube

They do, but maybe something with a reasonably priced. The monster go cubes did not perform too well for their price.

 

[DNF_Cuber]

they have their monster go cubes and RS cube

They both had weird tensioning with like only 2 settings. Also I want magnets(I guess one monster go had)
