Let me share my personal experience. Like I've said recently, I had some breaking points in my view of game, glitches etc. I farmed many 10 lappers, watched lots of ads, played lot of laps. I improved my skill much with lot of work. From player that started about 3 years ago with buttons, I drove 1.5 year with SA assist. Then I decided to get rid of it, it was damn hard, I needed a year to perfect that. Now I am C/B player, I am very satisfied with my skill progress, I feel-good about my efforts invested.

I wanted to say I invested lot of work, and that's satysfing to me.

On the other hand, I was reading wikia. Bugs were many times discussed, even in a positive way on some threads in early days. In style:"hey guys look what I found...ok let's keep it quiet so that the hole doesn't get fixed..." Rules wasn't clear, exploiting was free presentation of a person. Then endless endurance came. I was convinced and still am it is a design error. But public opinion was different about it. So in my POV everybody were using a glitch, and what people think about exploiting is POV. The rule maker, judge and jury(FM) was totally uninterested. That all murky stuff created uneven field, and people want fair play. Many times users shouted to FM about cheats and exploits, holes and craks but they were totally ignoring...

I my self like fair play, but in that situation I felt is impossible fight. Whatever I do as a player want change a thing, FM is the key. So many people used glitches, damage is done. No level field.

I think majority of players that used glitches would be happy to share their experience with others, but it wasn't possible, and to not be destructive towards wikia.

So after all that, when some sideways showed up, I decided to walk them. And I am not sorry. Only thing I am sorry is that some people didn't get a chance to do same, and had to go with feeling bad about a game. Others who was 100% legit, and had fun, I take my hat of!

At some point I figured few things for me:

It is a game, it has to be fun, I won't play if it isn't! I decided not to feel bad about a game whatever happens!

I value my time, for me it is a waist to throw 4 hours a day on a game.

So at some point, I realized I have no goals in this game, just to have fun. Now I can easly skip cars, because I don't want all cars and full garage. With that attitude I can extract the fun, even without sideways. It's just how you approach it! But I am not sorry for anything. And I certainly didn't kill my fun. I am now free to play as I like, and having a great time.

Sorry for my long post:) I just feelt a need to cincerly talk about this.
