Volkswagen GTI Roadster Vision GT Super Lap: Circuito de Madrid

Jeez! Calm down. I said it like that because i'm familiar with the car and track after running so many laps on other account so thats why it feels mediocre to me.

BUT YOU'RE BEING UNFAIR! Because of your actions someone else is going to rank one place lower

WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!

I'm really not in the mood for this pointless debate. There's hundreds if not thousands of people doing it yet i'm getting the flack for it. I'm still going to run two accounts because i want chips and credits on both and this thread isn't going to change that, sorry.

Not referring to the specific instance you are referring to in your post...^
...but there seems to be quite a bit of sharp-elbowed banter lately on the Seasonal threads...
....kind of disappointing to be honest, takes the fun right out of online participation.

I... was joking.... relax mate I'm on your side.

CRANK_U1 You have offered a lot to TT threads with your tunes and help to other players in general. And yes you are being pretty much singled out on this subject as you are one of the players in top places usually. As I remember it started a while back when you wanted to get a win for UK instead of Hong Kong. I believe Immortal did it once to prove to someone he could win a race with abs 0 or something, to his credit after the uproar he never did it again. Imagine if in all RH races he used 10 id's.

For me personally I am sure many do it, and it probably affects me more as I am usually in 100-200's, and I also am sometimes fighting for 1 place. Especially with races with different car choice options it happens more often.

Come on man imagine if Hamilton and Rosberg did their TT with different names they would have the top 23 times, no one else would race. This is a friendly community here and you are a valued member, I hope you understand.

 

[JogoAsobi]

I do it, no alien here like you guys, but I run both clutch and paddles sometimes.
So in the Seasonal TTs where I can also use clutch, I register times with two PSNs.

The current LB system only registers the fastest time per PSN, regardless of car or config.
That being said, I think most wouldn't their slower times also available for public viewing.

 

[Chris___75]

I have two accounts because i have two ps3 consoles and i do the sesonals on both as well. My times arent anywhere near cranks but as far as i know i'm not breaking any rules so im sure as hell going not going to stop doing it...

 

[lisanorm]

I repeat myself the best challenge is to yourself no matter what you do,i dont care who has different accounts.. i've given up on LB that in itself should change to have equal(tied numbers) times not first in best dressed....so regardless the challenge to challenge myself is all i need = anything under Gold time i am happy anything else is a bonus........

 

[nowcontrol]

I used to do all off the Seasonals with two accounts when the SRF was optional [main acc=OFF & Second acc=ON] but now I just wait until registration is closed before I run them on the second account for the Cr. and paint chips, except for the TT's that don't have the extended time after registration closure like the VGT laps, I will just do them on the last day and settle with the first clear Golded run which is usually a few seconds off from my main account pace.

 

[nowayback]

When I want to see my time with another car or setting, I just go to arcade mode and do it.

 

[Aquarelle]

Sorry, I don't understand the logic here.

If I'm not mistaken, you guys seem to believe that because he's a fast driver - he has to act differently to the rest of us?

What about little Johnny, coming in 2000-3000th place - what about his 2nd account - is he also forcing slower drivers down a place with his inconsiderate usage of two accounts?

This is absurd, @CRANK_U1 owes you nothing - there's no reason for him to act differently and take special consideration for other drivers. If he wants to use two, 4, 8, 12 different accounts and set great lap times that's entirely up to him.

Besides which, how many of you are actually in a position where this effects you what so ever? or more to the point - why does it even matter?

OK then. You really showed who you really are. You are thinking only for yourself and you show no respect for the rest of us!
In my understanding, your answers to my questions are these:
Why don’t you choose only one account, of the many, in each event? I LIKE THIS
Is it right? YES, OF COURSE
Do you think that in this way your country is better advertised? YES
Why are you still doing this? I LIKE THIS
Do you know that you injustice thousands at a time world in the world, where all the remaining “clean” players are struggling for a good position in the rankings? I DO NOT CARE
Do you respect all these guys? NO
If someone finished in the 100th position, is this his true position? Or he could be 3, 5, 10 or more places higher? I DO NOT CARE
Would you love to do this to you? I DO NOT CARE
Can you finally stop this injustice? NO
Do you know about the FAIR PLAY??? If not, you can read it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sportsmanship I KNOW WHAT FAIR PLAY MEANS, MAYBE I WILL ACCEPT IT IN ANOTHER LIFE

Two nice solutions to your problem for your credits and money!

No, I am not going to spend my time with you anymore!
This is my last comment!

Oh no.. however will we survive...

 

[CRANK_U1]

@gtp123 Now i seriously think you are trolling so i'm not going to reply to any of your comments anymore. This argument wouldn't be happening if i didn't finish TT's at the top of the LB so you find me an easy target to vent your pointless rants!

@UrieHusky Well said mate 👍

 

[Chris___75]

Honestly, if i was as good as crank is i would open 20+ accounts under CRANK_U1, CRANK_U2, CRANK_U3, etc and fill up the top 30 or so positions just for the fact that i could....

 

[eclipsee]

Anyone who uses more than one account in the TT's is spoiling the leaderboards (looks like some people here fail to understand what is the purpose of a leaderboard) and show no respect to the other users, that's a fact.

It's a fact that you have to deal with because its not against the rules.

 

[Sidebrowns]

I'll admit I run three accounts in each TT for the money/paint. On my non competitive accounts though I brake before the line so I get just a tenth or less under gold though. Sue me.

No matter how many accounts a person has, they set times which are there to be beaten.

@gtp123 , @CRANK_U1 , @eclipsee , @UrieHusky , @nowcontrol :
Aright, here is the deal guys:
First of, yes, it is wrong to use several accounts because it spoils the leaderboards. But if you have 2 accounts and want the chip, car, and cash, then I dont really see the problem just putting in a lap to get it. You're not pushing for a good laptime on both accounts, your just doing a lap to get the stuff. and for crank, even just doing 1 lap without really trying, will get him a position in the top 50. Look at where I am in the leaderboard for this event right now; I have no idea but im pretty sure im within top 100 and you know what? thats my first and only lap in that car! I accidentally redlapped the true "first" lap, because I did'nt realized it was so understeering, then on my second lap, I set that laptime. then I quit. What if that had been with my 2'nd account? Would that have made me a badguy here? and imagine what I'd be albe to do with a second account if I'd practiced with my main account first. I'd end up top 20 without even trying to!
another good example is the GT academy final round, IMMORTAL set the best time, and the 2'nd best! so EVERYONE!, almost 800 000 players was knocked down 1 spot. Including me. Am I angry at immortal for doing so? No. No I'm not, its just 1 spot, I dont care. 0.005 sec better time would get me that place back anyway.
also in the gt academy final round, I ran with 2 accounts, because I wanted the RJN car on my 2'nd account too (how where I supposed to know it would pop up in the dealership a week later?), I had done alot of practice and set a time I was satisfied with on my main account (2:14.951), so I ran 1 lap with my 2'nd account, not trying for a good lap at all, but I ended up with 2:15.4! For most people, that is a super time, so I knocked down a good ammount of players, and what is worse, I almost qualified in to the national finals! without even wanting to do that, because if I did, I feared I'd get excluded for using multiple accounts or something...

Making us go slow on purpose is not fair to us either, think of that.

 

[JogoAsobi]

LOL, this is getting out of control, even received a PM about it.
This kind of stuff really makes me consider not doing future threads.

Like I said earlier, lot of sharp elbow banter going on in Seasonal threads.
Seems to have picked up momentum since A-spec Seasonal events came online.

Perhaps a new thread should be created like Only one entry Seasonal Registration?

You do a great job with these threads and if someone is giving you flak for this dispute then they're the one with issue, not you. Please keep up the great work!

To avoid misunderstanding, I said nothing about flak, just that I received a PM about it.

I really do think the community would be best served if this topic had a dedicated thread.
Might even attract lurkers who can affect the issue.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

I'll keep this short and sweet, at least try to. You all know I am probably the one who is against this practice of running multiple accounts the most. I have spoke out about it many, many times before so there is no need to express my feelings about it again, except to say that this is just an bs elitist practice with complete disregard for the fellow competitor. I have also explained before that there are ways to get your paint chip and money without interfering with the leaderboards, and that is to run these events after the registration period. You still get the prizes but your time isn't registered. Simple. There is not one valid excuse for running up the leaderboards with multiple accounts, none. Now, having said that, no matter how much we dislike this idea of elitism that these people are showing, no amount of bitching is going to solve anything, they're going to just keep on doing it anyway. My advice? Just let it go, there is really nothing we can do about it that I know of. There used to be a clause in the GT5 online guide advising players against this practice, but I have been unable to find any such clause in GT6. So, just let the attention seeking elitist go, its really not worth arguing about anymore. The way I look at it, it just pushes me that much harder to acquire the best spot on the lb's that I can, pushing through all the multiple accounts. So yea, look, I got carried away again. Anyways, just enjoy the game everyone and try to turn what you may consider a negative into a positive for yourselves....you'll be the better person in the end.

People using multiple accounts doesn't really bother me very much because I have done it myself in the past and still do it in certain events as stated in my previous post, I also stated the why & how I did/do it.
What I really can't understand now is why the people who wish to get the Cr. & paint chip for their second accounts cannot just wait until the registration period has ended before going to claim the prizes for a gold lap with that account? [HOW HARD CAN THAT BE]

I just wait until registration is closed before I run them on the second account for the Cr. and paint chips

see, like this. 👍

@GTP_CargoRatt , @nowcontrol :
I just dont agree. why wait? with that mentality, you could just aswell tell PD to release all updates in 2025. we'll still get them, so why now? we can wait until pigs can fly and the sun fall down, no problem.

 

[Aquarelle]

I just don't get why it matters. Are time trials really such serious business that your biggest issue is someone having two accounts being quicker than you?

Here's an idea, if you practiced as much as you complained maybe you could get ahead of his second account and it wouldn't be an issue.

I'm sorry, that was my misunderstanding. 👍 Sometimes it's hard to imagine people not PM'ing someone to give them 🤬 on this site.

That's a really good point and I'm sorry I missed that before. It's really a perfect solution to the problem and I myself will take this advice in the future. 👍 Thank you for presenting it in a way that isn't so much of a scolding.

I just dont agree. why wait?

"One day some of the kids from the neighborhood carried my mother's groceries all the way home. You know why? It was outta respect."

[et_]

Seriously, running 2 accounts is not disrespectful. If you where pushing for a good lap on both accounts, then it would be disrespectful. Or if you created a second account just to sod with another player (see Elisa_Skallonson). Now that's disrespectful!🤬

It's also a bit disrespectful to demand other players to wait until the event has finished to do a run.

and as @UrieHusky said, if it is that important to you, you would think you could put in a little bit more effort into it so that you can beat his time.
