Last night tried a FIA race again and ofcourse it was a big disappointment. My start was very bad, my fault and I ended up at the back of the line. No problem, race on. After three laps I managed to raise to 8th place. Then came T1............. and you know what happened next.
I just hate it! While being very serious and trying to make the best of it, this behavior is common in Daylies and FIA's. They just don't care and I strongly think that they have a lot of fun while being savely in their homes behind their screens. They ruin a lot of peoples races and they still can go on with it. With more than five million players we cannot expect all players to be nice and fair, but the system doesn't help us either. I think it's very hard to create a system that serves us all, but this system is just utterly BS. I don't blame PD for it, because at least they try their best. The fact is, that a lot of drivers are just gamers and nothing more than that. Gamers with a bad attitude ofcourse. The kind that always look for tricks, shortcuts, codes, hacks and weaknesses of the system. So whatever penaltysystem will be introduced by PD, they will always be a pain in the ass for everyone. The problem is, that GT offers us great races on a scale that no other game does. But that greatness is also a weak point. What to do? I honestly don't know. I'm thinking about switching to other games / sims that I own, but it does not feel rigjt. GT is such a great game and I am with it from the beginning. If I had the opportunity to take part in creating the penaltysystem, I would introduce a disqualification for every punt from behind and after a few followed by abandon the player. It doesn't matter if you do it on purpose or just by accident. That's the only way they will ever calm down.
