I have a new one.
It is quite broad as well, by that i mean the latest 'trend" in GT5 racing.
Tire wear = OFF.
Heavy Damage = OFF.
All driving aids including ABS = OFF.
Calling your rooms "pro" or "clean" when clearly you don't understand the concept of such.
Bumper car driving.
Entering races set with certain cars by bringing in....wait for it..... a different car altogether.
And the list goes on and on.

So in effect i will repeat my previous post, as it bears repeating.

"All of you!"

Just lately i'm getting alot of fools entering my room which normally has "Road Cars Only" in the title. They then proceed to bring out a Race Car.
Or try with the prototype "Road Cars" which I deem not to be road cars as they are prototypes.
Really gets on my nerves.

Yea you gotta say Production street cars then they will pull out the right car cause people don't know the meaning of a road car and they don't ask for advice either

[turbonutter69]

Ahh good idea.
Never thought of that.

On-line racing is definitely a hit or miss deal. Some rooms are good and others are a total joke. My worst is for sure nothing that you guys haven't all seen a million times. Just the allure of a "clean or kick" room only to find nothing but the complete opposite. It's almost obvious there is a certain age on-line with you when it's always a race down a straight-away, then using the barricades at the end of the straight as the brakes. Every lap! How is that fun? Or down a long stretch....I muster up enough speed to pull alongside to pass and.....nope....bump you off, spinning out....race over. Then combine that with the room host that does nothing about it. It would be nice if the room description would change or something when the original host leaves. Or on that note, some sort of programming that would detect absolute unnecessary or blatant contact or lack of brakes, or whatever. Like an auto-kick feature. Last night I was in a room with some so- so behaving randoms and it was crazy cuz there was this one guy who won every race. I mean every race, and by a gigantic margin. I don't think anyone else in the room ever even finished running, the gap was so huge. Sure it was impressive to see such a finely tuned car for the PP we were running, but it was at least 15-20 races. I don't care if I come in last every time, it's practice and fun for me, but how is it fun for that person to be beating the piss out of everyone over and over. Honestly may as well just play A-Spec and do the same thing. Oh well, I guess it takes all kinds, and you certainly get to see all kinds once you enter the world of the interweb. Instead of frustrating myself with it, I decided to join a club/league, so now I get my fill of good clean racing. Peace out and happy motoring when you can find it.

I was just in a drag lobby, and there was this kid in it named <READ THE OP>. He was talking trash about everyone and kept saying he is SOOO much better than everyone, but he never even raced. Then after a while, someone said, "Hey XXX, how about you shut your mouth and prove yourself?" So he did a few passes, lost each one, and gave BS excuses to why he lost. There was only one that he actually won, and that is because he jumped the ghost.

[Emman1984]

I found my friend in a lobby so I entered and won the race then the host say you gotta leave American aren't allowed here. So I was like so you mean to say I can't race with my Aussie friend ?

[Eric W]

You Aussie friend should have spoken up for you especially if he knew the host.

Umm yeah... there is a rule about saying the user's name here. A mod will get on you if you do not remove the username from your post.

Also, I think he has a little brother who gets on his account (He's on my friends list) who likes to mess around while on it, though I may be thinking about someone else. Plus, I think he goes here at GTPlanet also so just to notify you just in case he sees your post.

Connection between Americans and Australians is extremely poor and can ruin the race. However there are some of us that have good connections regardless of the location of users in the world. They were probably only trying to save their room. Or they just don't like Americans, but that's an extremely rare chance.

What I hate about people choosing racecars, is that they are generally slower on the straights than my souped up Road Cars, and I have to drive at %88 capacity behind them until I pass them safely.

Got insulted for having an American flag and kick out not before enduring two races listening to trash talks from these kids whose nationality I won't mention for respect to their country in which my father was born.

That was the deal breaker for me. Not playing online ever again unless it's seasonals or maybe if it's an invitation from someone I know. Is not worth playing online when 95% are impetuous, potty mouth, racist kids. Not to mention their disrespectful way of playing the game.

Is either this, or racing with friends who ultimately destroy me on track because I refuse to tune my cars or use racing softs. and don't get me wrong, I rather loose over and over to civilized decent people, but it's begining not to be worth the experience.

You must just be having bad luck or something, I've had GT5 since it first came out and I've encountered next to no racism or anything like that, sure I've met some odd people, but none that would stop me from playing online.

To be honest, the first races I had were very nice, and people had a very relaxed and cool behaviour. In my first post on this thread I mention that. So like you say, it's just bad luck.

However lately I've been coming across these situations almost in a daily basis. Not to sound snoby or cocky, but I'm a very educated person, very tolerant and with a very cool demeanor. But I tend to loose my patience and my temper very quickly over people like these, and it's hard for me to get over these things sometimes. Before I loose control of my brain over my testosterone, I rather just quit.

[Anna+Reece]

I apologize, I completely missed that update. Won't happen again.

[Emman1984]

I guess they was trying to save their room cause he never kick me out but that cause I went on a rant and stood up for myself and me and my friend raced privately.


From now on I don't enter random room only room with 1 or more friends

I will only make an exception if the room is clean

[Setnev]

I was in a room that was completely open. It was on Daytona and everyone had mics. The title of the room was "Bring what you got" or something like that. So I entered my fastest car at the time, a 700HP Fully tuned 95 Skyline GT-R R33. It was a decently fast car, won in some drags and some road courses, so I'd figure I'd give Daytona a try online. Not even 5 seconds in the race I could hear a few of them taunting and bashing my car, sight unseen. They started the race and we had 10 of us in a room with the rest of them running McLarens and X2011's etc. Needless to say I started first as I was the slowest one. Not even 5 seconds into the race, they all started ramming me as they passed only to taunt futher. I finished the 10 lap race to discover I was awarded 15000cr. So i decided to stay, not bad for levelling up and getting some cash too. Each round they tried and tried to force me out of the room by changing the car type restrictions. Now my Skyline is pretty versatile. They tried to restrict 4WD cars, didn't work, changed my configuration and still qualified. Then the mod put a restriction on HP, too bad it was max HP and no one could use their precious supercars. Needless to say after them bullying me for a few races, they kicked me in the middle of the race as I fought to stay in the lead on the last lap by changing my car config and the moderators new "restrictions".

Husky, I'm going to eat my own words my friend..

I was hosting a room tonight, 500PP, Sports Softs. These two guys enter(with mics) and pick a car and wait for the race to start. One guys says "why are we on sports tires? Isn't this a racing game" and I respond "sorry, if you want racing tires I think you might be in the wrong room" and from there they insisted on calling me and everyone else in the room names, particularly me and the other Canadians, saying the usual insults used when describing Canadians. The best part was when they called the people in AWD cars noobs, yet they were in a Ram and a Lancer Evo.. They were then kicked but keep sending me pathetic messages over PSN, saying racist jokes and jokes I last heard in the 5th grade.. Pathetic.

[Cowboys965]

I took control over a clean NASCAR Dayton's room today.

Kicked two guys.
A guy that thought I was wrecking him and used an X1 next race.
Then a guy who thought he should park in the middle of a turn.

I've got a good story, not my worst, but it was a pretty humorous experience. I was racing with some friends @ 550pp at Nurby Nordy, and after a few races, someone joins with a join message that said, "World snooker champion." Thinking nothing of it we carry on racing and start a new race, he gets in his car, some volvo or other, and starts ramming people, me in particular. he then goes on the the host saying best the best driver, and has never lost a race before, this doesn't count cos everyone was ramming him. the abuse he got for saying that from everyone else in the room lol, it was hilarious.

I go on to say, "If you're so good, lets have a one on one race and prove it" and the host lets us. what he says goes beyond belief, he asks to use the X1, then i say fine, we both use it, but he then screams that only he can use the x1, I've got to use a slow car. His exact words were, after i said we both use it,"no, no,no,no,noooooooonooooonoooooo, only i allowed red bull not you, not you, you have to use slow car, something red bull can't beat." i then go on to explain that it doesn't make him a good racer/driver, and so we ignore him, and left it at our restrictions.

the next few races he tries different cars to keep up with us, and asks to use the x1 again, only to be told no, over and over again. he then says that he only has x1 and 1 other car, even though we all say him in several different cars..... beggars belief. he then got kicked ^^

[Hyped]

Racing The Nurburgring against a few people using aids like ASM Strong, TCS 7, SRF on, and others, claiming they were such beasts and that they were unbeatable, all using Minoltas, ramming people off the road, not even attempting to brake until I was in a wall. So I took out my Minolta and smoked em' with something like 1 TCS... Then the biggest of the rammers sent me a FR...
