I played 2,813 hours and reached level 633. Spent a grand total of $5.46 (with tax) to buy the starter pack. I accumulated 41,701 gold. I consistently ranked in the top 5% in the weekly time trials (since they offered 100 gold for it). I owned all 151 cars and was 100% complete heading into the most recent update.

Saw that the weekly time trials reset and just walked away, even though I still have 2,869 gold in reserves. Burned out. Won't be coming back.

No rant. It is a great game. Just became too much work at some point. That point being this week. The thought of doing all four time trials heading into the 4th of July just wasn't appealing.

Perhaps the last straw was offering me 1,019 gold for $19.99 though. It was tempting to pay to take a break from farming. And then it just sort of dawned on me that I could take a permanent break without spending a penny. And here I am, on the Wall of Remembrance. When the thought of taking a break from a game that demands your time sounds good, it's time to leave.

Today was weird. I watched a movie (The Martian) on TV while not simultaneously farming Le Mans. Turns out that it was actually kind of fun. Forgot what that felt like. It's going to take some to adjust! Hahaha! :)

Every game reaches the burnout stage at some point. This one took about 18 months. Not bad. Goodbye.
