He was getting 90 and had it drop to low 80's.... This is evident even in other areas of the game. Even top racers such as you and Chronic had to really upgrade your MP4/4 to pass 8.2. I had to hit the recommended PR just to pass that same race (and I am top 20% in time trial events in this game). Events such as the current event to win the GT40 only now return 16-18% at best if you have to meet a PR level to pass an event to win a car, used to be payout was 25% or even as high as 33% in older events. The ads for gold have been mostly miss lately, this entire release other than one week I had to reset ad ID and/or force close the app every 3 ads at most. I think this is their intent in this entire game is to demand more time for less payout.

This team event is 510 laps for 60 gold, lap events used to be 280 laps MAX for 60 gold. As soon as I add team members to meet that lap count my reward is cut in half (which is why I do a single person "team" for now). And when I did this my team member would run maybe 10% of the required amount for the 20-40-60 gold payouts so I dropped them.

I have noted in recent releases fame payout for races is down significantly. Run a 4 lap Mt Panorama race in Amateur series and the fame payout is 3600, this release had one that was I think 4 laps and just 2000 fame for a Legend series race.

No double fame days or weekends since February 2017. And many errors that should have been awarded with a payback such as that (laps event during SE to win car, events that were so incredibly hard that those who started later in the event got a free skip, free McLaren, free formula E cars that some of us spent time...and gold to win).

I am aware this is slightly off topic (although does talk team stuff too) but I have not seen this developed elsewhere in the forum and when I start the discussion on such things I do not get responses. I am curious if others have noted the downward trend too and seems you, ME7, may be just noting the tip of the iceberg that I have seen over the last 3 releases at least.
