I'm at a loss, sorry.

I am 1K, but I am not 2K or 3K - so for people that barely make 1K, every EQM counts. I could care a lot less about RDM....

I wouldn't call this "crappy." You had a choice (whether you had familiarized yourself with the now year ++ terms of the program or not).
No, definitely not worth paying significantly more for CO - but the point is that I was under assumption that when they brought back 500 minimum EQM/RDM for elites, it was applicable to US and CO as well - but it's only the case with CO. And I am quite upset that the no minimum EQM/RDM on US is mentioned in a very tiny print on the UA site. That's all - just venting. Not the end of the world - unless I end up missing 1K qualification for next year by 300 EQM or so.
