Gettings fellow racers (the REAL racers)!

I share your love/hate relationship with this as well. YOU'RE not doing anything wrong, the devs are... "Players currently matchmaking" should be just that. Instead, we're being matched with predominantly (much) lower rated racers, who, confusingly, seem to only be there to brake-check you and ram you off the road even though said racers don't even have the same racing team shown.

I don't think I've ever been so frustrated with a game before, yet loved it so much at the same time. It's the best out there, AND it's insufferable.

As Agwater1004 said, making a team... something I've not thought of and I am definitely considering that now.

But besides that, I've paid attention to the other good and legit racers who haven't hacked anything, and have learned that - at least until the devs do something about it - the only thing you can do is quit the race and join again. And repeat. And repeat. And when you get the race you want, hope that they don't quit the race (and that they're not a hack and will end up in 1st no matter what). I've managed to get a top rating thus far of 1114 by doing that. Not winning the tourny by any means but it was satisfying! lol

The logical fix for this seems to be effortless (although I'm NOT a developer, so maybe, for some weird reason they can't...?) in terms of including it in an update; just make it so that the 500s race together, the 600s race together, and so on. I wouldn't mind racing head to head or with a max of 2-3 other racers most of the time if only like 200-300 racers are online, and I'm sure most others wouldn't either.

Seems very obvious, and because it's very obvious, I feel a nefarious reasoning behind their decision to not implement this in any update. So sad. Really very sad. :( ...Because I'm about to play right now. lol Love/hate friend, love/hate.

Cheers!
