Amrosa What you are suggesting is fraud. I can't believe that EA/FM would be involved in that sort of activity. It's one thing fooling the players to get more participation, it's another rigging your player counts to make it look like you have more players.

If you look at the RR3 Wiki:Time Trial Participation page you can see they are also going through some sort of cull of old player stats. Why would they do that if they wanted to make it look like there were more players than there are?
