Even slightly reduced GC rewards compared to the original event would've done the trick. And costing GC to skip is as idiotic as anything they've come up with. Alas, EA/FM just don't know how to strike a balance. It seems that alot of these decisions are being made by non-players.

I'll wager that almost everyone here would like the Flashbacks to return and just scrap this Archive nonsense. Looking at the laughable mismatched Cup events - Where you've got some hypercars and GT Endurance specialists being given piddly 2-3 lappers at Brands Hatch/Dubai Oval/HK/NY and some classics with the top speed of a Segway have 3-4 laps at LeMans/N'ring GP/Monza Rd /Daytona Road etc, it seems most of the game is either being managed by folks who don't know the difference between an understeer and oversteer IRL. Or its just the usual trolling.

About Archives, they could've simply made it into a repository for FBs/LTS from past events. Even slightly reduced rewards would've been palatable. But I agree, given the current situation, good oL FBs are being missed. Heck..I really miss The Gauntlet!

About the cloud save situation - Seems like there's zero QC performed within FM before any update. Even after widespread reporting of such issues, their usual response, if there's one at all - "We were unable to replicate the issue with the data you provided". Obfuscation at its finest 😒
