The exp bonus is very unfair. I raced real hard the first 2 days and gave up because the other crew had already pulled so far away. Only way to get more crews to compete is to level the playing field. Probably won't happen though.

That way you don't have as much of a disadvantage and people would try harder in my opinion because they wouldn't always be on the outside looking in. The experience bonus isn't the end of the world btw, when I joined Victory Lane I had already caught most of them by myself without the bonus, granted it took longer with a lot more races won but it's doable.

If they move the exp bonus to top 3 teams it still promotes spending, but it also promotes the teams working together, leveling, working and getting the crew cars into the races sooner and staying in longer.

1st place crew gets 2x
2nd place crew gets 1.75x
3rd place crew gets 1.5x

That way even the crews that are 4th and down are still within range of keeping up with 3rd, giving them an incentive to race hard as well the mindset would become, if we can catch 3rd then 2nd doesn't have as big an advantage... etc. Since Crew placement is based on CBR it still promotes spending, so the company wins as well.



Couldn't agree more with this statement, his crew showed a lot of guts and should be respected for that.

the best idea is to go back to the bigger the NW the more exp u get...because that gives each individual a better shot...no matter what crew u are in...its not fair for 1 person to do all the work and everyone reaps the reward...

how do i know this???

easy...because ive done it how many times...when i ran i did it for my crew...i did it for matbond i did it for johnny (even though we lost) i did it for winter ( we lost too) lol...i did it for others as well...

btw...in response to ur question in the start...the main reason y no one wants to compete is because look at the crews... the top crews always stay the same...and the leaders are smart...they recruit the top 3 winners from the previous season..that means thats auto $300 in credits to compete with that u got free....and if the winner turns their prize in credits that $700 in credits to compete with...what the hell is the point in even spending when u are competing with that..

......has anyone claimed the prize in the past year, OTHER than prize credits?

To the best of my knowledge the past oh 5-10 sessions people actually take prize credits instead of money! LMFAO what a waste! (Then again, from what its been explained the real prizes are "non-existant")

The reason that no one competes isnt just prize credit overkill....its also that no one cares enough to have 7k+ wins each session. And those who do care enough race their hearts out even when there is no competition.

I dont blame anybody for not actually trying at this game. Its fun to be the so called "best" but honestly top crew is probably the lamest aspect of the game. No prize. No real reward.

There is only one bonus to winning top crew: Red Name. The leader gets a lame ass white name but nobody wants that. Basically the only part of the game that takes work and skill gives no reward, other than a corny little medal next to my name.....One that dozens and dozens players of people already have.

The same people do pretty much the same thing each session. People jump into the billions nw 30 minutes into rounds. WTF has happened here? People used to work their ass off all session for 30 days and never dreamed of hitting 10 billion. Nowadays, thats 2 and a half hours after the start. LAAAAME!

The worst part about it, is that all the people who actually care about the game and love to play it have dozens of concerns and ideas for the future, all of which fall upon deaf ears. I for one will never quit pressing ray for new aspects and ideas, but honestly Im beginning to think that they just dont care lol. Which is fine with me, if you wanna see a continual downward spiral of the MC community.

top crew does work the hardest...but winning top crew isnt shit...racing comes down to the leader...i used to race for others so that one day i can run and have a loyal group of hard racers with me...thats y i did it.. i never raced hard for the medal or any stupid red name...i did it to help other people out...but im over it now...its a complete waste of my time and money
