I'm neither here nor there with regards to the buying of credits with real money. People should be free to play the game exactly how they wish, no matter how strange it may seem. But surely, eventually there'll be another GT editor released on the net, for all those who love to hybrid ( not for me you understand, but again, it's up to the person themselves how they want to play the game ). I agree on banning hybrids online tho, however it can be done, due to the unfair advantages that people who abuse that patching will have. If offline grinding becomes too much for me, instead of me paying (IMO way too much) GPB£ for in imaginary game credits, i'll stick 200,000,000 for free, in an instant with the PC tool. Assuming there will be one, of course. If not, then i'll grind.
Yea, it's cheating somewhat and not in the spirit of fair play, but i virtually NEVER play online. I just love getting cars and testing them out, during my A-Spec career, until i grow too bored or am not good enough to progress any further. They want me to pay for credits, when i can "patch" them for nothing ? No thanks. But if people want to go ahead and pay real money for them, that's none of my business.
Edit: I need to point out that i am happy to pay for DLC, in terms of cars and tracks, because that took people time and artistic effort and probably a lot of hard work to create. I am paying for (hopefully) worthwhile pieces of extra content. That is completely fair enough in my eyes. Is it content that should have already been on the disc originally? Maybe, but it's still man hours and effort. But i personally am not interested in paying out for what will constitute, someone pressing two clicks on a mouse to add a set of numbers to the PS Store. No actual work that deserves paying was involved there. But that's just me.
