Me too. I've been racing for two and a half years, am an old pensioner, level 275/elite, and have previously enjoyed the escape into RR3, but it's now become too repetitious, and dare I say tedious, and not necessarily enjoyable. I like to race on my own, no teams, or friends, just for the fun of it - but together with 9yr grandson, and letting him win! WTTT used to be good fun too, where I could be a regular C every week, but that now seems largely unattainable without fully upgraded cars in every event - far too expensive. How can so many have so much gold? RR3 lost its way when the competitions were introduced on such a regular basis (seems like fortnightly at present (it was far better when they were occasional). The game was far more enjoyable when one could just progress from level to level in your own time and save up for the next vehicle, with no need to log in for another day's set of contrived events on the same tracks as we've all driven for so long, and watching tedious adverts about dreadful games to bring the car back to life. Boring. I guess the underlying reasons are that there are players out there who pay real money for GC so that they can upgrade to win cars, and that advertisers are paying for space through the evidence of the number of 'clicks' that FM can demonstrate players are watching. I don't begrudge them making real money, as it's essential for the business (and there are lot of people listed as being responsible for the game), but I think reading all the above comments FM may be missing the fact that they are killing the golden goose. One would like to hope that someone in FM keeps and eye on this board and will take action, but I suspect not. So yes, I am likely to fade away, and leave my name on this wall, but at least there is life beyond this particular grave!
