I used to not send cars very much so it never really bothered me, but as of lately I've started making replica cars to share with people, and I've come to realize that not only have they patched the old trick to be able to gift more than one car per day, they've patched it so you have to wait a full 24 hours in between sending cars.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Sharing cars in GT5 should not be limited to one car every 24 hours. 4 or 5 cars a day I can see being reasonable.

If you agree, sign the petition and hopefully PD takes notice.
 
PD obviously has strong feelings towards the way trading was being used or they would not have established the limit. I highly doubt a petition would change anything, but good luck in trying. I'd sign it if there was something to be signed :sly:
 
The gift limit on cars, paint, gear is wholly pathetic. Saying it's childish wouldn't be too far wide of the mark.

But PD aren't likely going to change it now. They implemented them for a reason. A reason only known to themselves.
 
I'd love to see the gifting restrictions removed. So you can sign me up for your petition!

Edit: Guys, this isn't a discussion. If you don't agree with the OP please have some respect and just move on.
 
They might as well lift it. By the time they put the limit in place it was way to late. It was like the rank up glitch. They took 6 weeks to stop it by then everyone was lvl 40.

Because people were duping... Not that unknown to the rest of us :indiff:

It's always a question of balance. They could either let people trade freely and accept a certain number of abuses, or they could generally restrict trading and make everyone suffer from that. They decided to do the latter.

See sig.
 
I will sign. I would like to see the price cap lifted, and no limit on how many trades a day. If there has to be a limit, at least give us 5 a day. Paint chips should be unlimited.
 
Apart from the one car and 5 paint chips every 24 hours (which strangely enough doesn't apply to driving gear so I guess it isn't a technical limit) being a nuisance, I still don't get the reason they implemented the 1 million Credit limit (duping? really? so what?).

Especially since they didn't attach a resale value to higher priced cars which suggests they were meant to be given away (or traded) using this feature in the first place if you didn't need another example.

It ruined the game. It meant level 1 guys could be given X2010's for nothing. And with the save exploit, it meant every man and his dog ended up with an X2010, so instead of being something rather exclusive, it became as popular and as owned as a bar of soap...
 
Surely though the whole leveling system is nothing more than an inconveniance, a time delay before getting access to certain cars? Most people who buy GT5 will be more than up to the job of controlling and using these cars and if they can't ,so what? They've paid their money, it's their game.

And as for attatching an 'exclusivity value' to cars such as the X2010, well that's just elitism coming in and there's nothing worse than elitist snobs, especialy when it comes to the virtual world. The restrictions do seem odd, surely the game should be enjoyed by all no matter what their capabilities of driving are? Of course there was the issue of selling X2010's on ebay but that was a minor issue that i can't see would exist now, X2010's are just so easy to obtain if you just use the B-spec function!

A good example of why the trade restrictions should be lifted is this: My brother is an equaly good driver as i am. I'm 40/40 with a 98% game completion, closing on 900 cars and have nearly 250,000 miles clocked up. However, due to his work schedules, his home life and other aspects he's only on 14/0 and has about 30 cars! I would love to be able to send him lots of my unwanted cars but i don't always have time to get on the PS3 everyday or even remember to. So a batch would be ideal.

Unfortunatly PD's restrictions are most likely set in stone. It's a shame but it's not the end of the world, at least we have the gift function that enables us to send most of the games cars!
 
I haven't been gifting any cars lately but I support this. It sucks enough that we don't have an integrated trading system but with this even organized trading is severly hampered

Don't like dupers though, but if someone really has the time to go through all that effort to get some cars in a virtual garage they don't deserve, I don't care.

anyways, I think it's necessary to keep the ban.

What if you get swindled out of your 20,000,000 Cr. Ferrari 330 P/4 race car? What are you gonna do then?

Imagine the grief if you got scammed out of your Miura.

That would be no fun. If cars are under the 1,000,000 Cr. limit they will be easy to replace, so I think that the 1,000,000 Cr. limit is necessary.

Heard of USB backup before the "sending/trading/gifting" part?

And I agree, they should remove or raise the limit.

5 cars a day, and raise the limit to cars worth 9,9 mill or less. Unlimited paints. 👍

+1
Couldn't have said it better myself, and I must say I agree completely with the quotes in your sig.

So what!? If someone wants to use an X1 from the get go, that is their choice. The only one it ruins the experience for is them selves.... besides nothing in GT is exclusive, including the X1. Especially since you can buy one via DLC now. And before that you could pretty easy get one by getting your B-spec to level 35.

You still have to put money/effort into getting them. If people were to dupe, others could get them for nothing.
 
Is the following info about reset still correct?

Every item that can be gifted is subject to the daily trade limit. The game server resets daily at 7:00PM CST. This means that each item type can be gifted to its limit once during that time period from that console (i.e. a 24-hour day from 12AM to 12AM, but in this case, from 7PM to 7PM).

And?? Why do you care how other people obtain their cars?
Click to expand...

I dont, others do, PD care how their game is played. Damn, Even I dupe sometimes. PD's intention was not to have every one own an X2010 or other 20mil cars, so they implemented a trade cap to prevent it/reduce it. Their intention was for people to earn the cars rightfully so they did what they believed was neccesary to do so. I believe they also did the right choice, and it doesnt bother me. It is sometimes annoying though, but not the-end-of-the-world, game-breaking annoying.
 
It had a purpose at the time it was implemented, but should have been implemented sooner.

But now that the game has been out for so long, and most players have more credits than they know what to do with, it is a quaint bygone from a previous time.

At a minimum they should double or triple the limit so that people can trade for every color Veyron and whatnot.

Didn't PD themselves gave away a free X2010 to everyone when Vettel became world champion?
Oops, there goes your argument straight through the window.
 
Sign me up for the petition i hate having to schedule every trade when i could be sending them all in one day
 
YES. YES YES YES A MILLION TIMES THIS. Trading needs to be returned to the way it was before patch 1.07, with one car per account per day instead of one car per PS3 per day and no restrictions on value.

I know I'm not the only one, either.
 
I agree. I want to keep a second account with rare cars that I find in my main account so that I don't clutter up my garage with cars I rarely use.

Maybe they should put a dollar limit per day of 1M, then you can trade all you want up to 1M per 24hr period.
 
Please sign me up for the petition. Totally agree on removing the limit gift/value gift. 👍

Chat soon. :)

I believe the Red Bull in question is the 2010 prototype awarded for all gold in the Vettel challenge, not the S. Vettel version ( which is also awarded for B-spec level 35 and for his championship) or the 2011 prototype that was DLC.

So there goes that arguement.

I highly recommend keeping the limit right where it is currently at.
 
I like the idea of removing the limit, anyway they should keep the can't sell car but get rid of it thing because it would stop people duping for easy money, combined with the one car a day policy, it would take them a long time to get any money with duping.

The original argument I was replying to didn't mention the rarity of one particular X2010 being the sole reason but that any X2010 became available to anyone without any effort which the giveaway by PD did exactly.
