They want that feeling because that feeling was/is great, then AND now. It just works. Go and play GT4s career mode and compare it to GT7 or Forza Motorsport. Which is the most engaging, satisfying and fun? I think we all know. This is not nostalgia, it's great game design.
Nah man, it's just that the 'system' that we have now is not very good. You know it's not very good because developers already adjusted it once just few weeks after release. So little thought and playtesting went into it.
You can never assume how any developer will handle this. It's best to always expect the worst in this regard. You should be able to tell by the word itself, "exploit", that you're doing something that isn't intended. Just because you don't like how a game is doing things doesn't mean you get free reign to take advantage of an exploit. If you do so, just get ready for repercussions, its fairly simple. That said, I would have definitely taken advantage of this as well if I actually enjoyed playing the game, but I wouldn't be upset if I suffer the consequences.
You mean the one that rewards you with a bunch of useless cars you can't use anywhere? I never found it satisfying and fun. GT3, on the other hand...
No, it's more than that. Fans want a progression system that's fun and well thought out, this system just...wasn't. A system where you have to spend even a couple hours to unlock most of the upgrades for each car was never going to be good as it's too restrictive. Also, if its intent was to make players grow a relationship with their car, the way it was done was too artificial. Something like that needs to happen naturally.
Winning useless concept cars in some cases didn't mean the progression system was bad or unfun. That just means the content picked as rewards was bad.
I said a couple hours while thinking of 2 hours to unlock everything. Mainly by the time you complete a championship tbh, but even at 1 hour; I just don't think that's a good progression system due to the fact it's car by car. It's too artificial in the way it has you bond with a car and how you earn something.
I agree that there's a big issue today with to many people wanting things now and not wanting to wait and have patience. But that doesn't automatically make this system good. There's better ways out there to make players work to improve their skill and progress.
If I've understood things correctly the exploit T10 have punished players for using is NOT auto driving to level up your car and earn CXP in order to be able to upgrade your cars.While that is all true, I assume the reason why many people used the auto-driving trick was so they could actually tune the cars they like rather than needing to drive each car themselves for 3 hours. This isn't so much exploiting the game as solving what they felt was a bad system.
Personally I've not used auto-driving whatsoever because I don't really care much about tuning my cars, but even so I'm looking at the 20x level 50 achievement and wondering if I can be bothered. It's at least 60 hours of driving needed in those specific 20 cars, after all.
Edit: Actually this penalization round is a win for all of us who didn't use the auto-driving thing to earn carXP. We got a second copy of the 2020 Audi R8 which sells for 140k credits. Free credits with no downside
Those numbers look like ticket IDs for their internal tracker.
Fair, just being nosy 🙂
The two lambos are sadly 2015 and 2018 (Evo).
It does suck for just about every GT3 car we have or are getting it wont be the newest updated versions with their Evo kits. Howevert those huracans dont really bother me that much, to me it just adds more options to the GT3 class which is always nice. I do have a theory though which I hope is true down the line and that is maybe in a future update T10 can add the options in the bodykit section to allow us to equip EVO kits on GT3 cars. That would be a nice touch and once equipped other cars you race against in freeplay or single player have upgraded kits too.
