1. Not much about text based games is skill. Anyone that runs around claiming to be superior playing these games is delusional. There are some aspects of the game that take knowledge, tuning, hitting. None of them take "skill" seriously there is no reaction time, nothing remotely like skill.

2. The image verify does NOT fuck up all tabs, you click it in one and the others respond. I however do agree that the tab racing is annoying and slow in my opinion. I much prefer to cycle the pages in one browser window. I use the page down button to make finding the next driver easier.

3. Racing in CI games has always been painfully boring, you are correct there too. The difference is now if you're fast enough you can make it go away much quicker. I can't believe you argue this style of racing doesn't give you more time O.o You never have to wait for someone to accept. List drivers, race, challenge, rinse repeat. If you get close to the 5 second limit, easily doable then you get 12 races a minute. 720 races an hour.... there is no way in hell you could burn your credits in an hour racing using the old style, just wasn't possible. Racing offline was a waste, the exp was so much lower...


So you're right in a lot of respects, there is no skill involved in anything we do, racing is boring, which is why some of us get it out of the way asap.

The rest is personal preference in my opinion. You like the old way, I like the new way. Neither took more skill than the other, one seems faster to me, one seems more fun to you. I guess it's about what is important to how you like to play.

yes but the old way may have taken longer for each race, but you gained exp accordingly. The level cap was much lower than this one is, we will prolly never know what the true cap is now. If you set it back to the old way of racing, and adjust the exp and levels, theres no problem.

Honestly 60+ levels is absolutely ridiculous. True, it may have taken longer for each race, but it didnt take nearly as long as it does today to get to max level. I also dont remember it being nearly as tedious to get to 20+ back then, as it is to get to 50+ now.

Honestly I dont care if they leave it the same, but adjust the levels and exp. Why cant their be 30 (or anything else) levels instead of an infinite amount?

I also wouldnt describe either method as "fun" Racing is going to be boring regardless, because your playing a text based game. Slips races are gone now. Money races are gone. Basically, those were the only thing that helped make racing interesting instead of the same click click click.

Back in the day, your right you couldnt just "burn" your credits in an hour. Technically back then you could only do 12 races an hour, but those 12 races gave you the same exp that you gain in 1 hour of racing now.....do you see where the problem arises?

Back in the day 100 wins was equal to 1000 wins these days, if talking about exp. So it all evened out. Less racing, more exp per race. More racing, less exp per race.

Honestly I DO NOT want to go back to accepting declining races, because then you are at the mercy of other players to get your level ups. But honestly, you can get top ten with level 20, or even level 10 if your good enough. WTF would I level up to 55+ if Im not going for IDE? There is no point in even trying to get that high unless you wanna brag or go for IDE.

Otherwise....Level 10 is perfect for me. If there is a point of having so many levels, its beyond me. The old levels seemed to work fine in my opinion
