Agree completely with your key points. It's always a disappointing realization that the people who create something you've poured days and days of your life into and used to really enjoy have absolutely no interest in making the game enjoyable.

I started playing in 2014 I believe. Like most new players, immediately spent a little bit to speed up progress. Like less players, got too impatient and spent ~$200 over the next couple of years to try and speed up progress. During this time I found the wiki, learned strategy, and continued good progress despite clearly seeing that 100% of anything was a daunting, and ultimately pointless, achievement.

I've stayed in this game due to having a job that lets me do ads and autoracing during the workday in a passive way. Of my 381+ days of game time, i'd guess that less than 10% of it has been me actually racing, which is utterly idiotic when you think about it. My MP4-X has done over 23,800 races, and I've actually controlled ~150 of them (win the car, do its series, do its ES).

I've subsisted for a couple of years on autoracing to level up, 15 gold a day in ads, weekly C rating in WTT, and getting most cars to the 75-90% level in their series but ignoring 100% targets.

I'm at the point where I question every day why I keep putting time and thought into a game that could care less about being worth my, or anyone else's, time.
