Fellow RR3 Enthusiasts,

in the context of the upgrade costs of the recent PORSCHE GT3 RS ClubSport ( and somewhat of the EVO ), I feel it is time to act in joint effort to get a message to the responsible persons at FM/EA in the form of an AD BOYCOTT.

I dont want to kill this game in even shorter time, so IMHO a STRICT AD BOYCOTT (NO wait time reduction, excluding 5 GC ads if you really want) for a reasonable amount of time of as much Forum-Members as possible could actually trigger a reaction of the responsibles.

This seemingly accelerating development is just depressing and will lead to a reduction of FMs revenue (more cheating, less players).

So if you too think, that a car equal to the GT2 RS (one could say copied) should not cost that much more, please consider joining (I started today).

My Motiviation: (—>)’’’’ I really enjoy playing this game with all its good sides and even with its not so good and sometimes even ugly sides:

- I have been playing since years (including the infamous Christmas-Ad-Spree), built up a full garage and was even able to reach !00% completion in a legit manner. One could easily say I am/was a maniac.

- I improved my skill over this time and am a regular rank A member in WTT by now.

- I often watched 280 ads for 20 GC, and uncountable ads for reducing waiting times.

Thus I feel like I am in a fortunate, privileged position in respect of GC and experience and would like to share my thoughts about this "hyperinflation" as I really cant find a rational explanation for this (except of intended accelerated Game-Suicide).

I earn maximum 1200GC/update from WTT  plus 80GC/update from Multiplayer,  plus 600GC/update from Ads and level up 2 times for 100GC/update using all fame days per month and 202GC from checking in this update. This sums up to a whopping 2182GC/update, being part of the 0,1% in WTT.

For a rank B member this amount would be reduced to 1383GC.

even if this is just an rough estimate, that means:

- A privileged rank A WTT player cannot compete without spending 3065GC (even if the GT3 RS really will not appear in this updates WTT, it will in the future), which is more than he can usually earn per update (as this is not the only car).

- An average player will even not be able to afford all cars of this update or completing any of its series, without extensively farming.

So one would either have to make IAPs on a monthly basis (given the prices of IAPs and the gap of GC income and cost, that would be easily 50$ per month) or turn to non-legit measures,

-to afford getting all new cars (not including that players without a full garage, might want to get other cars and complete their series, too).

-to compete in WTT for rank B and higher.

That would conclude to: 

- new players having to leave out new or old content.

- WTT enthusiasts having to leave out competition rounds.

Both types of players have to deal with a situation of loss and relinquisment (dont know if this is fitting, as Im not a native speaker) and constant assessment.

This may be unavoidable in real life, but this is/should be a GAME.

This accelerating development is just depressing and will lead to a reduction of FMs revenue (more cheating, less players) and foremost is not FUN anymore (what a game should be). I am aware that one cannot expect this game to be free. But watching hundreds of Ads, making an IAP of 1000GC a year should really be enough to "play" this game wihout that much restriction.
