Economy system is a piece of ****!

Bizarre how some will happily defend this pathetic economy, I mean yeah we all know it's not likely to change but to see it as a good thing? Really? Who on earth does it serve?:banghead:

I'd ideally like to drive every car in the game by winning races, however, I have neither the time or intention to grind for hundreds of hours to do so. It's ironic that the game's Sport mode prizes would take by far the longest to grind out 1 or 2 of the $15-20,000,000 priced cars.

I was under the impression that was the main mode of the game :lol:

For me now, if a car doesn't come with a price tag under 5 million or via the mileage roulette I don't remotely care about it. I mean it's not like you ever get to drive the damn things online anyway....
 
Now that's a good one. Delusional even. We have amazing rules in place to prevent it from becoming the cesspit that nearly every other place is. Just because you don't know how to behave doesn't mean this site's bad.
 
You really couldn’t be any more wrong.

Once in a while I stumble upon a new thread that hasn’t been contaminate already and try my best to give tips, etc. but that thread gets buried soon by another complaining thread where nobody EVER can agree to disagree

You are right that this forum could be much, much better but at the same time there are far, far worse places on the web. Have you heard of stormfront?
 
Im pretty sure you can get Gtr Lm by much more reasonable ways in Gt1. Also you were awarded with a car in earlier Gt games with a car when you complete a series. Again not the case in Gt sport.
Yes, later in the game, but not at the start, so therefore a similar comparison to people wanting a 20mil car without having 'played' the game a great deal.
 
Instant gratification is one thing, we're talking about broken or no gratification. It's a bit silly as they reduced rewards for clean racing which is not exactly what we want on both rewards and others being more motivated on avoiding collisions.

Anyway I have no interest in these cars. As long as they are not required for a daily race. And while Gr3 and 4 cars are achievable in a few races, the economy is acceptable for Sport Mode.
Single player grind is not something I'd do willingly in this age.
 
Try battlefield forums if you think this place is toxic, or driver vs driver threads over at autosport forums, or 90% of subreddits.
 
My 12 year old sons playground is more toxic than GTP.

Not agreeing to disagree and being able to articulate and argue different sides of an argument whereby it doesn’t descend into chaos and abuse doesn’t present a level of toxicity that I have experienced in my 4 years.

The AUP is fairly enforced and consistently enforced.

Disagreeing does not = Toxic.

Their engine sounds are enough to orgasm me. Thats how badly i want those cars.

As far as I can tell, this is the only thread you have started: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/gt-league-is-a-pathetic-rubber-banding-mess.382521/

You put across your opinion badly, supported it with poor evidence and got called out for it. To which you responded with lots of caps, told people they just didn't understand, called people illiterate, tried to take a jab at people based on where they were from, ignored accurate observations that were counter to your opinion, used lots of hyperbole throughout, and in general did nothing to convey a reasonable opinion in a reasonable manner. GTP is not perfect, but I think it's fair to say you need to take a look at your own 'contribution' before you go labelling the whole lot as toxic.

I’m not talking about myself but thanks anyway
 
A much bigger clean race bonus in Sport mode would solve many problems. Even something that increased incrementally the more clean races you had in a row, say 50% for one, 100% for two, 150% for three, etc.
 
The absurdity isn't the grind. We've always had to grind in GT.

The absurdity is how few events make grinding worthwhile. The same time and effort should be rewarded with the same level of payout. If I can make 300,000cr. odd for 15min of effort at BMB, I ought to be able to get 300,000 for every 15 min I spend, depending on challenge level (which, if you use a tuned XBow at BMB, is barely a challenge!). But this one event is head and shoulders above all other payouts.

The absurdity is, the more mind-numbingly boring a grind is, the more you get for it...

That's lazy design, pure and simple.
 
Trust me, you can get all the cars if you play GTS everyday either offline or online. :cheers:
I dont trust you i trust math. A 20m car required 53 blue moon race. This is nearly equals to 350-400 sport races. Which proves no one should ever trust you. At least in this statement.

Disagreeing does not = Toxic.
Disagreeing without using any kind of logic = Toxic.

The thing is people who defends current ecenomy system are generally doesnt have any point and rubber band the whole game to get all cars in the game.

That may have been the best thing I've seen all year.

I think what you complained is the sport mode credits, not the economy system. However not everyone can win in sport mode, think about that. You can play GT League, easy and much credits being offered.

Sport mode prizes are the part of economy system. And they are extremely low.
 
As far as buying cars for Sport Mode, the economy was just fine Day 1. The mission challenges combined with the daily spin were more than enough. Unfortunately, the game had to go and include these old cars that never get used just to please the older fans. As a result, we get threads like these where people complain about something the game was never really designed for in the first place.

1: The economy works just fine for literally every other car in the game.

2: The 20 Mil cars don't mean squat so forget about them.

For me, this is a GT4/GT3/GT500/LMP game for competitive racing, not a collect-athon "car-PG" in the mainline series that works perfectly offline.

I dont care if the game doesnt designed for these cars. Game have them so i want them. Very simple.

No one complaining about other cars.
2: The 20 Mil cars don't mean squat so forget about them.

Have you got any idea how legendary they are? Their style, their looks and their feelings are just amazing. Even if they were terrible cars im pretty sure some people in there obsessed with getting every single content of the game so they will still complain.

Cars would be completely free if that is the case but they arent so you are wrong again here just like every sentence you write.

Agreed. Before the high credit cars were added, I remember reading posts of people complaining they were maxed on credits, with nothing to spend it on. Now you have something to spend credits on, it just takes longer to buy them.
I believe PD will eventually add something to the game to boost gaining credits. GT5 was a struggle to get credits early on too, but once they added seasonal events, I wound up buying high end cars just to dump credits, because I kept hitting the cap. It's a tough thing to balance, and some are always going to be fine with, and some will always think it needs work.
