Talk:The Sixth Element/@comment-71.190.138.147-20160320133120

I have been using Bot Slowing Advice from RR3 Wikia, and it has helped me a lot, especially on establishing farming races that can consistently be won, even with room for [several] mistakes.

However I did my best during The Sixth Element to do just the minimum of this, which means no intentional losing, just not blowing the doors off of everything in every win... just restarts using Cloud backup if things went horribly wrong.

The GC gods have been nice to me the past month, so I was able to spend 396 GC on Sesto's upgrades, and had a PR of 83.3 for 8.5 and 8.6.

And I have to say it was an exhillarating joy to have to really work to run down The R. Rogers bot on the second to last turn of the race, overcoming a several hundred meters lead in the final third of the last lap. I had forgotten what it was like and to have to run Sesto flat out was pure excitement.

So, I guess what I am trying to say is that while Bot Slowing makes great strategic sense, especially when you are trying to progress deep into the game without the use of actual money to buy GC or VIPs from the App's store, it is important to remember that it can also take some of the edge off of the game and reduces the experience and makes it, at times a bit monotonous, especially when going through a long strech of farming to build up reserves for the next car in a career series or for an event like The Sixth Element.

With that said, thank you for the help and advice you all have shared here. I couldn't have learned to think strategically about the game without it.
