Here’s how I look at it, it’s a cheat and exploit. I respect people’s opinions but it doesn’t mean I have to agree with them.

The thing is they did fix the initial exploit of borrowing upgrades and penalizing but somehow these guys found another workaround or what I’m assuming is a severe cheat or hack.

If you cloud restore after upgrading with any gold upgrade and restore to the prior PR/upgrades, not only does it reset your time but it won’t register a new time until you beat your previous best. So if you set a time fully upgraded, the only way to beat the previous time and get it to record would be to fully upgrade again. Plus, you also will lose all your OMP points. To me those are pretty active measures to try and dissuade it. The question is how are these guys getting the time to record with this in place? It’s not possible unless they have a hack.

But mainly, these guys screw players like me. Ones who play honestly and work their butt off to get into A when I have the chance to FU. I’ve spent real money & invested time to get where I’m at. And for them to do what they are, they're undermining all my hard work & effort. If I’m spending gold to upgrade they better damn well be too.

I understand the thought process of leveling of the playing field too but giving everyone the same car & upgrades without earning it also takes away from the game. The biggest leveler, in my opinion, is improving your skill level. A is a rare bird for me. But I can say consistently, with LTS upgrades, I easily compete with FU cars. And it’s not because I’m great, it’s because I’m always honing my skills and practicing. I guarantee I invest more time than many on WTTT and that can be frustrating but I work for it, so again why borrowing and these guys bothers me. And I know time is a constraint, I get it. Compare it to athletes, the ones who are the best are the ones who put in the time and effort, plain and simple. And in regards to borrowing, compare it to blood doping, just for this race I’m going to hyper oxygenate my blood but after I’ll go back to normal and no one will know.

I’m completely fine with calling them out. Unless someone can show me it’s a flaw with FM’s current setup what they’re doing is definitely a hack.
