This, you need to have 50K DR for slightly civilized races (where some people will give the position back after still ruining your 3 lap sprint race) and not be to fussed about getting pushed out of the way cause rubbing is racing, not for me.
You only need above about 25k and a good q to get matched into top rooms on NA. That said, you have a point.
But, for me this current system is a big improvement over the soul crushing stupid needless sr down or penalty for the slightest micro rubs.
I dunno maybe the system oughta be stricter the lower a players rank.
Thing is if they did do that beginning and average players might get really frustrated.
Maybe only at first, the bottom line is once you get to the better races, it’s better to let the players handle things themselves.
Better that than seesaw ratings and animosity over the needless sr downs and pens.
Strict could work at lower dr ratings. Bottom line is there’s definitely a certain threshold of skill required to get matched with others who race clean.
On NA B dr is what it is. It’s a broad broad mix so racing can vary one race to the next plus given the times people are running, dive attempts are almost valid. It IS possible to make moves with the say group 3 against mid B because of the pace.
I dunno, before when they toned down penalties play improved also, in the upper rooms like now.
It’s cleaner because guys know others can revenge and not lose sr.
A race though from the sound of it has been awful this week.
I think less tolerance to contact might be a way forward in mid tier lobbies for the average player.
If the system was more strict at mid tier, the average player would have assurance they could go online and not get smashed like Forza.
With upper rooms though there’s just no need for the hindrance caused by an overzealous penalty system. It just causes less people to enter, more animosity etc
