    Car prices are a joke - $2 Million for a Ferrari California is just outrageous! It was about $200k in TDU 2. I just simply don’’t have the time to grind 2-3 hours a day in order to buy anything. A big part of the old TDU was collecting cars and just taking them out for a cruise. Now every part of the game is grind, grind, grind. I appreciate that some people prefer the grind, but if you’re a casual player like me, it’s really tedious and doesn’t encourage me to play the game.

      In the original TDU you could earn enough money to buy a Ferrari by just doing 2 delivery missions. No one was grinding for cars in TDU. Grinding occurs due to a lack of content.

    I think Ibiza has been a great addition, but the overall experience to get to lvl 60 clan so far has been dreadful. If we take in account we make less money and there is a lvl wall on everything clan wise its crazy. Also, the xp on solar pass??????
    Also, if half of the races are on bumpy gravel roads, ffs they should have fixed bloody cars flying around at every turn, the small patches of water that make you go 180 to 0…

    Now idk how long the 918 and the 812 superfast have been nerfed for, but now I just can compete and they nerfed the payouts as if I wasn’t already broke enough. They’re probably gonna pull a Gran Turismo and at most quintuple the amount of money you can get from a race. Like you said, let’s use The Crew 2 for example. The most expensive car in that game was roughly 2.5 million, and the longest race paid out 290 to 500k. When we look at TDU SC, cars cost upwards of 10 million, and the highest paying race is 100-300k. Mind you the longest race takes 10-15 minutes longer than TC2s longest race. Ibiza’s great and all, but make the core gameplay fun, which It does surprisingly well, and NOT a grind fest.

On TDUSC they just increased the grind, not sure why with the player count… It’s already lol What’s funny is on The Crew 2 if you’re level 1000 you can put all icon points on bucks and make over 600K+ easily on the 30 minute race 😂

      Don’t get me started on the task list. I haven’t reached lvl 60 yet, I’m at 58, but if they want me to complete 100 races in cars I don’t have cause they are too damn expensive (ex the special editions of cars) then there is a problem. 100 is a bit steep but it does give you the option to try new cars and get more accustomed to the handling. Hopefully they fix the economy in the game and then I’ll come back again!

      @ People always say you don't HAVE to buy the microtransactions, but it's not a choice. It's an illusion of choice. You can ignore microtransactions but you can't ignore the fact that games are actively designed around them and around the expectation that you'll buy them. Games literally actively try to hinder you if you don't.
      Not to mention all the FOMO and how everything always has to be limited-time only and lost forever, specifically to force you to either spend copious amounts of time you don't have grinding to get it, or paying for it directly because you don't have time. And if you don't, like if you didn't have enough time, aren't good enough, or simply are a new player who got the game later, you're permanently missing out.
      This is why I like DRG. All the seasons can be selected at any time and their gear unlocked at your own pace. There's no MTX/premium currency, and since you can progress through any past season on your own, there's no FOMO.
      Even the limited events (holiday events, like their upcoming Christmas event) have no FOMO. Each event will give you a hat to unlock, but if you missed out on previous events, you get all the previous hats in one fell swoop too. So if you complete this year's Christmas event, you'll get this year's Christmas hat as well as every single past Christmas hat, in case you missed out or are a new player.
      This cheap indie game does live service than better almost every other live service ever and yet people still try to justify/defend these $70-150 games having MTX and FOMO like they're F2P games... :/

      @@andrev5207 Well in ways Motorfest is a bit better with the payouts on races even though in that game it’s still not great and worse than the TC2’s, the cars in Test Drive cost way more too… Many hyper cars are 8 Million + with some being 15 or 20 Million for a single car
