Participation trophies? I've been playing this game for 2 and a half years, I've spent over 4000 hours in it, and I still have only 2 high rollers (none of them from the daily workout, in 500 ****ing days of gameplay), and I had to grind for 200 hours to get them. I think that Yamauchi really doesn't like historic cars.
If you spent 200 hours grinding for 40 million credits it means you've made on average 200.000 Cr per hour. Sorry to say but your grinding methods aren't exactly effective as five times that is achievable quite easily.
On the other hand, you say you've spent 4000 hours in the game. GT Sport has been out for 23 months, that's 174 hours per month,
nearly six hours every day. Either you've done a couple of thousands of Sport mode races, which I somehow tend to doubt, or you've hotlapped a lot. Or there's something you aren't telling us, such as spending something like 50+ millions into other cars.
OK, the following is aimed at everybody.
This entire thread is looking increasingly like people doing anything but racing for credits in this game and then throwing a fit because they don't have the credits to buy cars. It's been proven very many times by now that half an hour here, half an hour there, builds the credits surprisingly quickly over time. An example - one of my friends desperately wanted a Shelby Daytona when it was released in August last year. He plays perhaps once a week, sometimes twice, sometimes not at all. And he got that Daytona this spring. That's 15 million credits in perhaps eight months, eight months means around 36 weeks, he probably played some 30 times in that time. In other words on average he made half a million each time which takes half an hour, perhaps an hour even without touching the commonly known high payout races. One hour per week.
TL-DR; If you only want to hotlap or design liveries or take photos or whatever, that's completely fine. But please don't complain about the cars being too expensive if you don't even try to put in the effort to get them because the tools for it are right there at your disposal.
Hell, I've only *just started* playing the game again recently, and I know how bad the grind is in this game, especially when you consider said vehicles ultimately are useless outside of the context of Nostalgia 1979 events. That says a lot about how bad the loop is, no matter how many people stomp up and down and say that the grind is fine, you're just a pleb or lazy.
Actually it says a lot about how much of a first world problem the entire thing really is. People are little short of picking up torches and pitchforks because they want cars, that they don't want to spend time getting the credits for, that
ultimately are useless outside of the context of Nostalgia 1979 events. There is no single real reason to have them in the game other than being able to say "I put in enough time and effort to buy this" and that's exactly what those people don't want to do.
