In running my career series, I noticed that Elpreciado is #1 in the All Star Vendetta TT (13.1)

(Congrats Man!)

This got me thinking. I see a lot of different names in the career series TT's as opposed to the names I see in the WTT. So I scrolled down under Elpreciado and found RuduTan at #29. He is almost always #1 in the WTT.

So, ummmm? What is the difference? Well I will tell you.

There seems to be a very spirited debate on here once in a while whether "borrowing upgrades" or "borrowing cars" is cheating or not.

As you play the game, there are choices to make about how you spend your GC. Some opt for a full garage, some opt for 100% completion, others opt to FU various favorite cars, etc, etc...

I have seen the argument on here that it doesnt matter that they are borrowing upgrades because those racers are in a class all their own when it comes to skill.

This may be true, but, I think the example above clearly shows that they can be beaten if someone might have a better car than they do.

The choices we make have both rewards consequences. They chose to spend gold elsewhere while I chose to spend it on fully upgrading a car. Gold, BTW that I spent real money on.

So if not for "borrowing upgrades" there is a real chance that I might have earned GC from the WTT's with my fully upgraded car against theirs that is not, despite the fact they might have more skill than me.

So,  YES it is cheating. In fact, since GC actually cost me real money, I will take it one step further. I could make the aguement that they are stealing from their fellow racers.

They chose to spend GC on other things rather than FU cars to run in the weekly time trials. But they want their cake and eat it too.
