1) The EXP bonus for a leader, basically just means you're choosing money over game play. People will spend like crazy, and those that can't won't even bother playing. (If you call it anything besides that, you're not telling the truth.)
2) Automatically accept races, and no waiting period is still encouraging credits to be bought, and punishes those that play for fun. If you want to gain EXP you have to be able to spend to get in first, spend to stay in first, and spend to send out as many race as you can, so you can continue to keep your level high enough to spend to stay in first place. Funny how you chose that route, instead of actually trying to make the game more fun.
You should put a limit on how many you can race an hour, higher how much you make by working, take the HI limit off so people that don't spend can still catch up to those that do. You should also focus more on make the game more fun for the noobies, instead of chasing them away cause they won't spend on a game they've played for 10 days.
Also, if you say I didn't play Rev 1. I did. If you say I can't spend so I'm whining, I can.
Chad you are missing it, the EXP bonus pretty much guarantees more competition. People will be competing to get into first, and to stay in first so they can get more exp whether they are trying to win, win top crew, or get IDE they will all be fighting to stay up top. Now I am assuming the exp bonus is not going to be anything EXTREME, and that will make sure that those who don't have a chance to get into first will still play. They will just be trying to keep their NW as close to the top guy as they can so they are getting decent exp.
Auto accepting the races was great back in the day. You click on someone click race it goes directly to the time slip so you don't have to wait 4 minutes for the race to go through. Also i believe it used to be a 7-8 minute period before you could race the same person again, which helps keep the spamming down. Racing was great back then and this change is a good one trust me. Also you don't have to stay in first to get exp. You have to stay as close to first as you can to get the max exp per race, but you get exp no matter what.
Limiting how many people you can race what would the point be? this is a racing game you race as much as you can if you want to get exp/levels.
And you stated you think it will chase away the noobs. Well back in Rev. 1 there were hundreds of people online at a time, noobs were signing up by the dozens per day. Now theres never more then 20 people online. I think these changes will actually make the game better and encourage people to buy a membership and play competitively which is what you want. What fun is it having 20 people play competitively and everyone else log on once a day and not try?
But yes they need to remove the HI range restrictions.
