I understand your frustration
@ZevZoq , especially for the ticket part rewards .
Living aside the roulette part plus the crappy invitation system ,the grinding part is a menace.
The structure of gt7 as for the cars owning part is way different than previous series.
Unfortunately is all about money ,thats why MTX added , that's why the addition of Hagerty's LCD section, the ups and downs in prices etc.etc.
To justify all that ,gt7 shouldn't call as driving simulator but Collector driving simulator.
Outrage expensive cars with the majority of them almost unused since except custom races you can't use them else where in the game .
But all the above is a fact that we have to accept, like it or not as we have to accept that from the last decade the games in general are in a new era.
Online races, online events,global events , sponsorship, movies and glamour.
There isn't any " logic " to explain some things, but if you consider the money factor ,things are taking their place .
Don't want to extend more on that but as in USA use to say , the small sentence: follow the money , hide an undeniable truth inside .
Numbers, are above all .
