I don't understand the complaints about "grinding" and getting so few credits in this game. I would be more understanding of it if the "Log In Bonus" didn't exist, but when you've hit 200% (which is as easy as just signing into the game daily--hell you don't even have to play--just sign in), and you get up to the 200% in no time.

When the bonus isn't glitching on you, at 200% you get some nice payouts. Racing last night I was hitting payouts of over 80,000 credits with just a few minutes in a race. Doesn't take long to rack up some serious credits when that Log In Bonus is working properly.

I think those complaining about payout amounts should consider keeping their Log In Status at 200%, because getting into the higher tiers within the career mode is very rewarding when the bonus is applied (and not glitching on the payouts of course.., as some of us have been finding out).
 
Try collecting all the 20, 15, & 10 million credit cars & then get back to me! :sly:

I still don't see the issue! That's the PURPOSE of the game. I just don't understand how people expect such HUGE payouts in some races. Sure, a few vehicles are at utterly stupid prices, but the "grind" has been a part of racing titles for YEARS. I don't think it's the grind that's the problem, rather people should be railing PD for the insulting prices they've put on some vehicles (which is now a very obvious attempt to get that green from micro-transactions).

GT fans should raise all holy he** with PD about that. The credit accumulation with the bonus isn't bad at all, and it's actually paying out more than some other titles....
 
People buy the game for different reasons, it has so many features. I personally buy it for the online racing & car collecting, I hate the career mode. Therefore, being forced to either grind at something I hate for something I want or spend £119.97 for 1 20 million credit car is appalling.
 
Synth, I agree. Not since beginning the game with 13,000 cr. left from my Honda Fit purchase (D'oh) have I ever find myself short of money?! I'm only up to iA races at the moment and I have 3.8ish million credits. I do not have the 15th Aniv. cars, I do not have the pre-order car packs, I've just used prize cars and a handful of sensible purchases. The only seasonal I have done is the M4 time trial and the MiTO lap (which I only got silver). I've purchased two 200k low-spec race cars which I haven't even used to race, and I've never repeated one event more than once unless it is to improve a result (silver, etc). I could easily buy anything I need to do the next event.

I'm a long way from the 20m classics, but what do I need them for? It's not an issue.

Today I have not played and will loose my login bonus - and I don't care one bit.

PS Also for the Prius one make I got the touring car version.. couldn't bring myself to buy a standard spec.. so I haven't been tight with money all the time :D

Having to grind anything, especially in a racing game, is absolutely terrible game design. Running the same, unchallenging, carbon copy races over and over to acquire fake money so you can buy and drive a car you really want is just bad design. The races should be challenging and rewarding all on their own, not something you are forced to do over and over in order to do the thing you bought the game for...buy cars and drive them.
 
You don't have to understand the complaints. Everybody complains, I mean everyone. When a game comes out, a website may give it 100 points, an A+, but theres always one reviewer that has an issue, even if its just ONE issue, they will complain.

The thing is nowadays, the world is spoiled, we live in consumerism and greed and high standards. I'm not saying this is a bad thing (maybe the greed is) as these high standards propel technology and gaming to greater heights. You can't really do much about it, theres always going to be critics, if you enjoy the game, you really don't care about what others think of it. I don't. I enjoy this game, and when someone goes ," ermhagerd, gran terrrismer 6 is so 'orrible they make me pay for everything!" and I disagree now that payouts are so good, I just think to myself, "carry on then chaps" and ignore it.

So basically OP, don't try to comprehend it, having an opinion is one thing, getting someone to change their opinion is near impossible, if not constitutionally protected. :P
 
as a driving simulator, I respect a "payout scheme" , as people who can drive and are committed to improving their skill at the game, warrant to earn the higher credits at tougher races. Then they can carefully choose their expensive cars should they even be interested in having some of them. To give a novice all kinds of money to buy expensive cars that they have no knowledge of handling at an even poorer knowledge of track, well, I'm just glad to have an overall clean experience in online races, this time around, with GT6.

mind you, credit card warriors and glitchers have ruined it all anyhow, already.

Also, to just grant insane amounts of winnings on easy seasonals, is unfair too, where Spec S lic racing pays not enough to change a slick tire after 2 laps. PD should have really revamped this properly, it's out of whack.
 
At the moment, there is very little grinding necessary unless you're going after the super expensive 10, 20 million credit cars. Namely classics. I have around 16m right now, the 200% bonus plus seasonals, X2014 Junior challenges etc offer pretty easy money. If it weren't for some of those ridiculously priced cars, I'd say the money system was pretty well balanced right now.

Basically, unless you're after the exotic classics, the game offers a solid amount of money. I mean, I'm half way through and I've already bought behemoth's like the 787B Stealth and so on.

Yeah... I guess you would hate RPGs, what you're saying is you don't want to beat a game and you want everything handed to you.
 
Are you talking about complaints before or after the log in bonus was added? Before the log in bonus it really was a pain, it's not that I want every car handed to me. I like collecting and saving my credits, but if I want to fully tune a car with all of the parts and tires we're talking about 200,000+ or so per car. Before the login bonus that was about 12 minutes grinding the NASCAR race to get the money. I would still run other races and test my cars but if I didn't actively grind for the money it could be a very long time before I'd get the required credits to do a full tune of my car, and this isn't taking into account if I want to restore the rigidity which is a ton of money too.

A relatively simple fix would be a race or some championship in career mode that has a payout like the NASCAR races but is open to any car. Any car you pick would be matched by similar AI opponents. I'd never complain about the grind then because I could start using more of my cars, testing, racing and just having fun and getting decent cash payouts. As it is, I grind for the money. Tune my car, then take it online where I earn very little money or run an arcade race/time trial and get 0 money.
 
I don't understand. People want to buy 20 million credit cars with little to no grinding. That means of course that they'd be able to buy literally hundreds of regular cars after...what? Winning 5 races or something?

"Oh look I just finished third in the first Novice class race and now I've got enough money to buy 15 cars."

The whole car collecting thing would be a complete joke. Might as well just put all 1,200 cars in your garage from the beginning.

That's really the point. Many here see the challenge within racing games in applying their racecraft in the cars of their choice against competitive and intelligent AI. Now GT does not offer that, but playing a racing game with the Pokemon "gotta catch 'em all" mentality towards vehicles doesn't appeal to me and many others.
 
The problem is that racing in GT6 is very boring, and grinding to get the same cars you already own in GT5 is stupid.

But the real insult is the possibility to buy ingame money with real money.

Thats like saying "we know our game is **** so we give you the oppurtunity to cheat with real money".

No thx PD, we found other ways to get easy money.
