I mean, if you are in the bit of the game where you need a lot of gold (second half of Legend), than you are quite likely to have a lot of money. A lot of players who have a LMP1 can drive long races round Le Mans and will have millions and millions R$. If you let them trade R$ for GC, a lot of people will get a lot of GC without FM making any money on it.

It would be awesome if it could, though I also think this is true, but I am hoping that AE will look at things differently soon. AE owns RR3. AE is a publicly traded company. They have a board of directors that they make presentations to on a regular basis about the profitability of RR3. One fact that the presenter would tell the board would be how many people are playing this game and how much time they spend on it per day, or per week, or per month. The game records every single race you run, whether you got gold, silver,  bronze or less. It also records every second that you are viewing the game, whether you are racing or not. I f I could convert $R to gold, I would definitely play the game more. 100,000 to 1 sounds like a fair exchange to me. I am just shy of 40,000,000 which would equal 400 gold. It took me a long time to get that much $R. A 10 lap LeMans race would only be worth 1.5 gold according to this conversion rate.

it's probably just a pipe dream but it's certainly something I've thought about.
