...I've been crunching the numbers and it looks like I will have to spend about $100 a month just to stay gold neutral So even if you are regular in GroupB at least, you can't stay gold neutral, wow. That proves the will of FM to force us to spend real money.

I experienced 100% completion several times too, but for few updates, I didn't have the same passion to run the same races again and again, for what ? just have the time to win the new cars, no more.

P.S. May be it's time to play another games, PC sim-racing for example ? That includes me still doing the 10 lap race on bonus fame days and some endless endurance races.

I made the decision half way through 7.3 content. So if I upgrade the remaining cars enough to reach 100%, again I will have to spend 2270 and I would get back 320.

When Exclusive Series were introduced, I knew this day was coming. Don't get me wrong, I love the series! The best paying endurance races in the game are there. It's just expensive.

Then there's the move to a 4 week update cycle vs 6 week. That means there could be 13 updates a year vs 9. Again, I love the new cars and content! However that's up to 4 more updates of currency to come up with in the same time frame.

The currency and time commitment to maintain 100% is now very big and there is no reward for reaching the end. So I probably won't anymore. Even if there was a reward, it wouldn't be enough to justify the completion.

The problem with that decision, is that it is nearly irreversible. The longer I go without reaching 100%, the more I will have to GRIND out in one month to get there again. I've been pondering this since update 6.3. I still enjoy the game, this should help me to enjoy it even more.

BUT... What if 100% completion did something like unlock private race series that pay a high amount per lap. Hmmmm... "Private Series"  would unlock as soon as you reach 100% completion and would close as soon as the next update comes out. That would encourage people to upgrade and spend earlier in the update to have longer access to the private series.

The amount of people at 100% completion is a very small group, so it's quite doubtful this would exist. But some people will push hard to get into a Private Club, especially when there are perks. Perks like 20 lap races and endurance races that pay 50% more fame. It still would not be enough to make up the difference. I need about another 7,000,000 fame an update to break even without spending money. However I think many people would strive to be in the MOST Elite, MOST Exclusive club in the game!

NOTE: This has certainly not been talked about in any official capacity that I am aware of, just a fellow gamers hope & idea. :-)
