It doesn't hamper others' chances of getting that car or this one, doesn't affect wttt. The only thing it does is that it gives the poor old racer some time to do things other than RR3. If someone has a problem with that, that guy needs to rethink life, stop focusing on how to prevent people from progressing, start progressing yourself. (Start slowing down the bots yourself ;) kidding).

It's really your choice if you want some challenge in career series or not. Some might have fun with the challenge and when bored just slow down the bots and get done with it. What is the problem with that? Stig, the point I am belabouring to drive at is - cheating is cheating regardless of whether others are affected by the act. Because, if that is not the case, where is the line drawn and who is the arbiter? I am just having a go at some folks who are too easy to be deregatory in the use of the word cheaters. Further, f slowing bots down is a low level cheating but is still cheating, what does it say about this site with pages and pages of how to low-level cheat. P2dro, for an action to be classified as cheating, a specific rule would need to have been broken and a victim must exist. Borrowing upgrades does not break any explicit rule but it has victims in people who must loose their place to accommodate you. Therefore borrowing upgrades is cheating. Slowing bots is not cheating because it does not break any rules and FM cannot be the victim. RR3 was created for 2 main classes of gamers: Those that wish to pay to progress and those that will try to progress by investing a lot their time. For the later group, RR3 tries to make it as difficult as possible but however they choose to go about it without breaking specific rules and without affecting other players is legitimate.
