I'm quite unsure how PD are going to fix this. I think if they bring in more restrictions to teh game then they're just gonna pee off more and more people. I would have thought they've realised that people want to be able to trade cars over, much like pokemon games and PD's continual restrictions are just gonna end up putting people off again.
You cant bring a game out with a 1000 cars of which 200 are available in dealership and then rest are just pot luck and not have ways to trade between friends. Just because people abuse the ability to backup saves to duplicate cars shouldnt be a reason to restrict it, its supposed to be a social aspect of the game, same as borrowing cars but people want to duplicate cars and build up their collections,
Just like pokemon, Event mon are duplicated to an obscene amount but pokemon is still one of the biggest games out there, if nintendo turned round n stopped all trades of legendary pokemon then fans' be in uproar.
Sure a company doesnt want players to cheat at their game But in reality duping/perma borrow inst ruining the game as such. the chromeline/stealth cars already make the game incredibly easy and u can use the chromeline lambo in online special events as well as other chrome/stealth cars and end up with several million credits easily and a high a-spec level.
I started a new account up and within a day i was level 25+ and i hadnt bought a single car due to borrowing off friends and using chrome/stealth dlc cars, so the excuse of making game easy is bull.
Personally if i was PD i'd just allow trading of all cars again because at least that way only one car per system is traded whereas with this glitch u have increase server load from everyone downloading patches and you have 10-20 cars traded a day depending on how much effort gamers are willing to put into it. Its time for PD to swallow their pride, or risk upsetting the playerbase on this one i think
