Bryce ya know I love ya but I can only partially agree. Thievery is an art almost, its always been the mystery of the game, the part people figure out last. After they get a hold of racing, working and get some top 25's and 10's and other medals under their belts. After you figure all that out you sit for sessions trying this and that and finding all the fine points you would not have thought existed. So many people spent so much time and money to be patient and learn. I think giving it away cheapens it. I think your right more people will play if you release your guide, but not for long, knowing everything becomes boring, that is why vets leave after all. More importantly in a month or two the algorithm will change and it will be time to start over.
I remember well when Teet put his "bible" out, does anyone else? Where are we now? Sitting here talking about putting out another "bible" when arguably one of the games greatest has already done so. It increased home invasions for a touch, nobody bothered to do all the racing and working tips he worked so hard to perfect because it was not as much fun as home invading. Are there more people online now or then? Nope, I personally think it took something away, the game had to be changed, and nobody was willing to stick around. Telling people everything leaves the game with nothing new to figure out, no new lessons, no mystery, and quite honestly makes it a bore. Just my two cents, I respect everyones opinion but with all due respect I have already been through this scenario and know more about what happens than the rest of you.
