...seems as you've been living under a rock, this whole thread is spinning around methods for grinding, and huge part of it was discussion regarding AFK method/script method and if it legal or not. Scroll few pages back and read it...
The upside to this is the practice that you get. Trying to get the clean race bonus is also nice. IF, at some point, the focus shifts back to online racing, this practice will be a benefit.
Ill be all over it when they buff the payout hopefully sometime in the next week or so.
The bop is messed up I don't like it. I don't like that I cant mess with my gears or anything.
For me the upside of it are the custom races where I can have all the cars in my garage race against each other...I am specialicing in collecting cars between 1955 and 1985(small cars until 1989), but the cheaper ones ,not the unicorns(the gullwing Benz will be the first car I am getting that cost me more than a million)-and I make custom races with those cars, when I wanna have fun(after I equipped the with some liveries and tuned them so farm that they are approximatly equally strong)...the payout is low,but it is the most fun for me to do with GT7...
They really should make the payout more.
It's not worth it, nor is it against the law. If you have broken the terms of service, ergo justifying ban, then they are within their rights to ban you. Plus, it's not really on the same level as a human rights violation, Or even an antitrust violation, or even a broad market transgression like copying a CD. It's for a single game, so it would likely never get a court date, even if it were eligible for one.
Nope. If I get banned so be it. Scripting the grind(the method Im using), semi manual with a rubber band, or even manually replaying the same race 1000 times really has no bearing against Sony other than circumventing their mtx and to me isnt worth the time or effort to fight. I would simply drop the game(possibly the series) and never look back. In previous games the grind didnt seem as bad but I also had more time to play when I was younger. Today I just want to pick up the game tune a car for a specific race or event and not worry about my what my time vs payout needs to be to maximize effort for the next car I want. If the payouts were less stingy and more spread out I probably wouldnt be scripting in my off time but until things change, or they make it impossible/start issuing bans, I will run the script and then focus my actual play time on doing the events I want in the cars I would like to do them with.
lol
They have the right to take actions, but we also have the right to defend ourselves, this is a human right. For example, banning people like Rockstar does is illegal. They ban players permanently, erase all data and don't even say the reason for it.
Read my post again and you will find the answer.
Hopefully it is a hard ban with full deletion and you lose it all. Sony will wipe your existence from their entire ecosystem. /s
Adjust your gearbox....
How is re-running a race dozens of times cheating?
Sometimes there's something hidden in the terms of service, for a lot of sites, that pretty much say they can ban people from their services or platforms at their discretion. You can, if you want, take them to court over violation of your rights in some way (unlikely given it's their platform), and maybe get something going but at that point, good luck with legal fees?
