Newbies - I know you have to start somewhere but sometimes it gets annoying when they enter a room that says "PROS" or "NO BS", they seem to just randomly roam or bump people

Leaches - People who dont care to learn and just ask so many questions like they want tunes spoon-fed to them

Cocky/Arrogance/Sore losers - Good drivers that don't know how to accept defeat

What grinds your gears?
 
Is or should that be something like a dictionary?
Or a list what not to do?
 
The worst I've ever dealt with was an instant kick, only a few seconds after I joined the lobby, after I put my Sambabus on the track (SSR7).

:mad:
Respect the Bus!
 
Someone who keeps stopping and re-runs until they have the better "tree".

Then when you try to re-run because you missed the tree, they ask why.
 
Stay in your lane- We get it, your GTR is faster than my Mach 1. Pulling over in my lane doesn't make your cheap win any more relevant.

Same goes for the return...STAY IN YOUR LANE! There is a whole track provided for you to make your way back to the box, don't ram the cars making their runs. It has to be intentional- if you're that bad o driver, I suggest you redo the licence tests again or stay offline.
 
:mad:I hate having my car used as a bowling pin,if i'm patiently waiting my turn don't come through and try to hit a strike with your x1,veyron or f1.Play twisted metal if you want to do that.:mad:
 
1. Racism-Flag Kicks. The worst was when someone kicked me before I could even see the lobby and so my game froze completely.

2. The new gtr...
 
People refusing to run against me because of my weaker car. Yes, I like to tune odd cars. Yes I know you have a GT-R. Yes we both know you'll win. Yes I still wanna run. How the hell else am I get the tuning where I want it?

Yes but when there are 4 people in r8's running no one wants to race your mustang. Get something competitive or get off the line. Then they sit there and refuse to move. I believe that deserves a kick.

I would kick you too, if I'm trying to run a good competitive room why would I want to let that on the track?

Especially when you are racing in a rwd, and they have a awd and you are about to pass them, that gets really annoying.

I'm sorry, this has been talked about before. This is not racism, it is lagism. In drag rooms lag is a very big problem and when people join from outside the us more likely than not they cause lag. Now I just saw you in a room a few days ago and we didn't kick you because the room was not lagging and it wasn't really full.

I agree, 1st rule of drag racing, be competitive. When I get into a room if I see top level cars I get in one. If I see muscle cars I get in one etc etc.
 
what gets me it's when someone joins a room and claim the have the fastest car in the whole internet and that no one can beat it. it happened last night, with a kid claiming his viper coupe was the fastest and no other coupe could beated, i beat him by half a car, same with his acr, i beated by car and a half, he got so embarrass that he left the room, defeated by the Legion crew. I'm sorry if i may sound cocky but, people that claim they have the fastest of whatever are the easiest to beat. :mad: arrogant mo fos :mad:
 
people who enter a room that clearly states DRAG racing and proceeds to do laps, a little worse on ssr7 because we drag race going the opposite direction

to add to that, when someone demands to start the race, read before entering the room!

I personally love that, just last night someone came into the room I was in, we were all just talking and what not, he grabbed an acr and said that he was faster than anyone in the room and that him and his team had figured out something with the suspension that helps them get off the line faster than anyone else. I had my ford gt no strip out and proceeded to put over a car on his acr LOL.
 
Enough Rants, how about a Rave or two. :)

I love it when I go into a random room and know no one (normally on off hours) and race them. A few days ago I was in a room very early in the morning and everyone was running muscle cars, so I grabbed my Chevelle and after beating the same guy a few times by about a car I was told I was the first Chevelle to beat him in over 3 weeks and that I had a really good tune. :)

Had this happen to me about a month ago with my Mach 1. The guy was very impressed and said something similar and the next thing I knew was that chat box was filled with RESPECT from most in the room. I felt the best feeling ever.

Seriously doubt this. Who are you? Like youmad said, you are joining the wrong rooms.

It was obvious, at least for me.

Are you saying I'm slow!? :lol:

Back on topic: I'm sick of people not using larger map scale on ssr7 so they could see if there's people coming from the other end. I hate when good races end up in a crash just because people don't pay attention. :(

Edit: ^no problem, slash! :)

Not really, I said that it was obviously a joke.
