I look at this as the start of the 'final nail' in the coffin and huge gold requirements to keep up.. The new series for the f/u cars will eventually be a blatant grab for gold by the Monkeys, with the audacity to appear as a 'kind bonus', with the whole unlimited tickets and 2x longer drive..

So no, not the greatest update imo.. Extra gold intensive is the new tend now:( You are correct, but haven't we all accepted the fact that FM is only in it because of extreme greed?? We are WAY, WAY PAST hope they would ever do something for their customers. A large portion of players have been considering quitting this game, but they trickle out just enough hope now and then to make us think they just might care, but we all really know they don't when it comes right down to it. They have enough advertising income now that they are no longer dependent on player purchases, so even if they lost 90% of us, it probably wouldn't matter. The only thing that matters to them is the bottom line, and if we are no longer part of that why would they care?

If you look at the completion strategy, there hasn't been a profitable race/car since the Amateur and NASCAR series. It gives a false sense of security. Everything else is a drain. This game is intentionally designed to cost money. This exclusive bonus series requires huge amounts of gold to be spent for a miniscule relative return, even with upgrade discounts. This upgrade was designed to make players 'feel' like they received a gift, but in reality it's just another way to entice massive spending. I play games to have fun. I don't have a problem spending a 'reasonable' amount of money doing it, but they penalize paying customers and never give anything back.
