Who mentioned trophies? Tap dance any faster, your shoes will catch fire!
Me obviously. Tap dancing? You claimed that I was bragging, and I've seen the idea come up a lot; dupers love to brag about whatever and need to get every trophy, etc. So I though I'd fire back at that untrue assumption, be it explicitly stated by you or not [it's the not in this case, other have gone on about it more].
Your post explicitly explains that, now you have duping, you have a competitive car for ANY online situation
What it says is that I'm not limited to racing only what I can afford in A-Spec. I've told you, via the other quote, that duping doesn't produce a Swiss army garage that lets me have the best car at all times. I'd hope that anyone would realize that language is not perfect. We have ideas, but can only express words, and it seems that my words did not get the correct idea across.
I've also told you something you seem to completely ignore. If someone wanted to dominate a room, the one easy way to do that is not to dupe, but to look up the room restrictions and go buy the perfect the car.
What's next...? The dog ate your homework, your evil twin posted that post under your name? The devil made you do it, you have a drug (duping!) addiction? Let me help you out with some more transparent self-justification...!
Could you answer on the non duping methods with are far superior at room fixing? Like buying a car with stats that line up as close as possible to the room restrictions? It would be better than tap dancing.
I wasn't to trying to prove or disprove that you were gaining an advantage by duping, as that's a matter of personal opinion; I was simply pointing out that in this thread you're stating that you feel duping provides no competitive advantage, whereas in another thread you were not only claiming that it did but actively encouraging others to do so.
Well, I definitely do encourage duping, but I've never said that it gives someone a competitive advantage. What it does is give people more options online, instead of only being able to afford a Veyron, and only being able to drag race (which buy the way, you if a host, could limit to 1001 hp and 4160 lbs), I can afford cars I like and do races I like. I, as a duper, have many times gone into a room and not been able to break out the perfect weapon, because I either didn't have it or did not have it favorited. This includes my buying of every removeable part for every car. Greatest example was a ~500 hp ~1070 kg race I found online. The host did have the perfect car, or at least a very competitive one, in the form of a RX-7. The best I could muster was a 430 Scuderia at 1350 kg. On a side note, have you considered that one can really detune their car, if it was modified, to increase competition? I've actually done that, I've won and then lowered my horsepower until I've started losing. And while this isn't ammo for my argument, I'd like to just put out a friendly reminded that duping isn't about the need to win all the time. It's about the desire play the game in a way that's fun.
I've been duping for a long time, and I dupe en mass. The idea that duping lets people have a continuum in terms of car capability isn't realistic. And as I've said, non duping methods are a better way to ensure that one is best equipped for a specific race. Just be the host, or buy a car for the rules. I should also mention further that in series like JGTC and Group C, there is no Swiss-armying to be done, the cars are what they are besides your set up.
