Kazunori Yamauchi Responds to Gran Turismo 7 Fan Outrage

I used rubber bands and lego to AFK, but then I work from home so could manage the transitions from finish to start again manually.

So now I understand better how you did it in 4 months 😁

What is the "enjoyment" that you're looking for? Are you not able to enjoy the game unless you own every single car?

Once you acquire every car, is that the point that you will start playing other races? What's the plan here?

I am a bit OCD, and I am also old school, I also have the FOMO attitude with the cars showing up in. The UCD and LCD... So I end up having to always chase the elusive cars....

Sometimes I have to force myself NOT to look into the stealerships.... But the temptations most of the time is too strong...

Part of me wants to have the auto grind,
But the "righteous" part of me doesn't want to "cheat" and have "fake miles" logged into the system...

I feel guilty of not actually playing the game.

Just a personal goal to have and the self merit of being proud having done every single miles on it the "manual" way...

I guess my ultimate goal is to run the cars on all permutations of tracks and locations and compare the cars for myself...

I know it sound rigid... But like I said, I am a bit OCd with a structured mind....

Definitely not making it easy for myself I know...

Maybe it is all my fault...

So this response came out nearly three years ago and nearly nothing has changed, amazing.

NOTHING has changed since launch???

@CTznOfTime I'm a bit confused. I've had the game since launch, have at least one of every car and currently sat on 92 million credits. I've run the Spa race maybe 10 times, Sardegna maybe 15-20 times and the Le Mans race once (I really dislike the track).

Do you do the online time trials, online Championships and Weekly Challenges? The TT and Weekly Challenges will pay out around 3 million a week and the Championships several million per season depending on your league and how much effort you can put in.

Not saying its fast (its not) or that the economy isn't deeply flawed (it is), I've just never understood the need to grind when there are other more varied ways to earn credits.

I'm assuming you've already done all the Circuit Experiences and Missions?

You're assuming a few things there. First, Circuit Experience is one time only, but you need to be pretty good to gold every track. The online Time Trials won't be everyone's cup of tea either, but also require more skill than the races, which are supposed to be the actual meat of the game.

You are correct, there are ways to earn Cr, albeit, it's still flawed and slow, but not everyone can make decent Cr from those means.

For some players {we can only get silver at online TT even after trying for hours}, and perhaps at 20%-30% circuit experience tests we accomplish gold, but I've yet to have gold on the Master license tests, so that leaves us with the grinding of Sardegna, Le Mans, Spa etc.

IMO If you have time to grind, then you have time to practice the Circuit Experiences. This might not be easy at first, but once you've mastered the necessary driving techniques to gold the CE's, there's a higher probability that you'll also succeed in golding the online Timetrials more often as well as rank higher in Sport mode races.

They key for golding the TTs is not to grind them for hours, but honing your own skillset to make going fast feel natural and easy, rather than being a stressfull necessity or chore. The game and the community on this forum offer many possibilities and support for practicing those skills.
