I am looking forward to a day, perhaps a year or so down the line, when all that is left is the online game.
Imagine this scenario. You create a Lobby, and specify 395bhp, 1100kg, MR as the parameters. You want to use a certain car (it's great for this track), but you have upgraded it past the limit. Unless some sort of detune patch comes around from PD (which would make the whole point moot), if you have used the exploit, you have maybe three or four identical cars, all upgraded to different specs. If not, you have the ONE...
THIS, and this alone has been my main problem with this exploit. I could care LESS what you all do on your own time, on your own dollar. But when I go online, I want to feel that I am not placed at a disadvantage by those willing to exploit this loophole. That is all that concerns me. Play the game how YOU want. But when an exploit gives a decided edge to those that use it, and disadvantage those that don't, you ruin the BALANCE of the game. There is going to come a day when playing the same few A-Spec races against boringly predictable AI no longer satisfies you (mind you, maybe most that use this exploit probably will remain satisfied by the easy win, I suppose!), and you are going to think that playing online is the savior of this game. How will you THEN think about those with micro-tuned race garages that they obtained by exploiting the game save? When you have to enter Lobbies without the perfect car at the perfect spec?
I'll be interested in seeing how many of you now condoning this exploit (when you aren't abusing it like others) find that things have long-term consequences.
Oh, 🤬 it! I give up! If you can't beat them, cheat! I shall be using this exploit night and day from now on. I'll have multiple copies of every car, at multiple tunes and upgraded status... See you online!
