Not intending to offend you, but you sound very bitter in a lot of your posts you make recently.

WTTT probably is one of the most, if not the most, challenging aspects of the game as it is nowadays. However: nobody is forcing you to upgrade your cars, nobody is forcing you to VIP them and nodbody is forcing you to finish in A or B.

I remember starting WTTT in the old format and never having the top car. Did that matter to me? No. Even with the shittiest of shitty car you can still challenge yourself, try to set a good time and have fun.

​​​​​WTTT isnt about finishing in A or B, it's about having fun and becoming a better player. I'm not offended, just miscast/characterized. I am NOT bitter at all. I do get angry and vent when I feel that we've another example of what I believe is abuse pricing or predatory actions in a game that offers so much entertainment for so many.

I enjoy WTTT and it is a great challenge. What's a part of that challenge is having three cars to choose from because some cars do better on some tracks or in the hands of some racers than others. This weeks line up, though, doesn't provide that. The Maserrati is the clear run away winner. If you don't have that car and don't FU  it. That's a "subtle" way for FM to push people who don't have it to get it and upgrade so that they can compete. YES it's possible, of course, to not want to win. To simply drive around and come in 5000th or 10,000th and still enjoy a lap. Though, frankly, how much fun is that? I mean, you can do that any time by revisiting any of the series the car you have is in. We get plenty of empty lap time :) What makes WTTT special is competing against your fellow racers - but on a somewhat level playing field. It's a smart business move but it's not so fair to the players without a particular car/upgrades or cash.

I love this game or I wouldn't still be here. I stopped paying for GC at sometime ago and a month or so ago I ran my bank dry and was about to quit for good then I decided to finish off the ES's I hadn't yet and, coincidently, FM release some high paying ones and I've miracled myself back to several hundred GC allowing me to play a bit longer. I can't watch ads (AppleTV) and I refuse to become a farmer (it's a game; meant for fun, not work) so this balance will only allow me to make the occasional upgrade to a car needed for WTTT - otherwise, I'm just finishing off some high end series with the sweeter cars I have. All in all, enjoying myself. So, don't take my posts here as bitter in any way. I call the shots as I see them but I'm still a fan.

I hope you have a great day mate!
