My point was that anyone playing GT will grind. Those that say they haven't repeated a race are not playing the game for months or years until the next release. For example, if someone raced once per day, there are not 365 races on any GT game. Imo money is wasted buying GT to complete a race/event to once.
I never said you mentioned the internet. That point was in reference to those that can not race seasonals or anything thing online to increase income are s.o.l. They have to grind no matter what. In GT4, I loved grinding. Racing the 2 lap rally's was quick and yielded a quarter of a mil after selling that car, not to mention the money from the win. GT5 five didn't allow multiple cars of the exact same kind to sell, so grinding was worse than GT4. Plus grinding gives the added bonus of extra practice for a track against an opponent in order to work on lap times.
