When are you going to stop the exploiters?

Can't even F'ing tune cars anymore without a maxxed out Mclaren jacking you for cred. I have no problems with car trading, but a guy challenge me with a maxxed out car, will get reported, if not in the right lobby

Report away dude. Why can't you just ignore who you don't want to race? It's really not that tough. Chickening out of a challenge is not a big deal in a regular lobby.

I intend to, BTW looking the other way is as bad as just saying Do it. I can ignore them, just think that a feature that Supports an Unsupported practice (selling and trading), being exploited to scam lower players, is not a good way to instill confidence in the player base. I think it's BS (yes Bullchit) that players can't play on the level of their car.

Just so you know, i also put the player on blast in the chat as a cheater, so the lower levels know who to avoid. That usually gets me blocked from playing, constant challenges. Oh well, all i ever do in the public lobby, is race the bots for tuning anyways. lets me know i'm doing the right thing

Let me be clear, i'm not against traders. Just the weak players, that want to drop into lower lobbies to steal cars. I'm also not against pinking, I have earned my cars the right way, in competitive lobbies, not through piggybacking. I realize CIE/GLU do not want a trade feature, but that may fix the real problem. The problem is newer players being stalked, by predators.

I will end this, by saying to GLU/CIE. If this is intended, I'll stop what i'm doing and let the game die. If this is working as intended i'll just stop the public lobby posting of the predators and exposing them. Till then, expect plenty of tickets and blasts on chat, warning everyone

Just don't pink a car you know you'll get your ass kicked with. How simple is this concept. People will be people and continue to lobby snoop. So deal with it. If you don't like it just race on turf days or racer showdown. Jesus that's like 5 days a week right there. If you're looking to play24/7 and wanna bi tch about it then find another game cause it's about taking risk in life anyways with a ride. People lose everyday. If your playing it just to play and pissed about that feature then don't race cars outside of your class give or take a class. I mean I don't understand the crying on this. Just watch the names, don't race a r class in a b class lmao how simple is this to know. Lol.

I agree with the OP. And as a noob I have no idea when I'm being taking advantage of. I can't even follow everything yall are talking about. People that have multiple similar usernames should be banned. I have no problem with being out gamed, but allowing cheaters and hackers is BS.

Since yall are in the know whats the point of intentionally losing? I might not be the sharpest, but I know when I blow a launch only to fly by my opponent at the end of the track when his car is a 1665 and mine is a 1650 somethings going on.

We allow players to join friends in normal lobbies. What people do with that feature is really something we can't control. However, we've said time and time again. Be smart when you take the chance on losing your car in a Pink Slip Race.

1. There are no easy wins
2. if something is too good to be true, than it probably is.
3. Your opponent thinks she/he can beat you
4. Why would a D class car owner pink an R class
5. Like in real Drag Racing, you never know whats under the hood.
6. Do not underestimate the competitive nature of other human beings.

So long as it's working as intended, Thank you for chiming in. Now to ask the stupid question, Why have rating lobby's when anyone can just drop in? I mean, Why bother coding the ratings limits? When you allow an exploit, to be abused. That sounds like a lot of trouble, for nothing. It's almost as if you expect the glitch and lag, to make you money or something.

I don't have a problem losing 1-500 per race just to have fun, but nothing more.

I actually have three rules, for playing this game

#1. Never pink outside the turf or showdown. There you get a fair Level race, except for GNX's
#2. Only pink, when you absolutely know your car, the approximate times in the lobby and what the other car is capable of.
#3. Only pink with boosts, you have to assume the other guy is using them.

So far those three rules have got me through this game.

Once again, thank you for chiming in. This thread can be closed now
