Just to prove that I have nothing against
@fordlaser as a person but rather the arguments they make, I shall now respond to these two most recent posts in as serious, not-light-hearted a manner as I possibly can:
In the Mission Challenge Stage 3 No. 5 you can get keep getting Gold every time and still get Credits, Is that Cheating ?.
No. There's a difference between running the same events over and over (aka grinding) and using a quirk of the game as a shortcut, be this by having Gr.1 cars run out of fuel, be it reversing into the pit lane, be it parking in a specific manner and confusing the game, or be it by putting a rubber band on a controller to leave it running over the night.
"Using a quirk of the game as a shortcut" broadly speaking equates to "cheating".
After I done that money glitch, I ended up later that year to start a fresh new game because it was wrong to do that Glitch. So if you think I cheated back then, well I cheated back then and that was in the past.
Using our newfound knowledge,
you'll have to start the game over again for this statement to be true.
but some players want to get that car in 5 minutes
*sigh*
GT Sport is a long term game to play, but some players want to get that car in 5 minutes, which to me is wrong because of the credit system.

*double sigh*
I here players saying you have to do the race over and over again which is BS.
...
I done a 4 hour Rubber banding race yesterday, I earn money and mileage and experience points.
Blue Moon Bay, Arcade mode, custom race Mazda sports N100 vs Gr.1 car, endurance race 13 hours and a second place prize money below and I did this overnight.

Once again, not only does the argument you're making not make any sense, but you're
actively contradicting yourself - on multiple levels!
I have a right to say what I like
..and once again, not unlike a certain fellow people may remember from back when the NFS Payback thread was still juicy goodness, your opinion isn't the only opinion in the world ever. Just as you have a right to express your opinion, others have an equal right to express theirs.
So do excuse me for saying this straight, but shutting down other people's opinions on what amounts to a 🤬 credit system in a piece of 🤬 software and droning on and on about how they "moan and groan about the credits system" only to then pull a 180 and say that other people need to respect
your opinion when your opinion is challenged in a perfectly logical way
while simultaneously cheating your way through a game you say doesn't require cheating to the point where you restarted the game just to enjoy it all over again (except the cheating didn't stop then), frankly, seems more than just a bit hypocritical.
That is the problem I have with anything you've ever said in these threads.
We want to talk cheating history between the two of us? Gladly.
I recall cheating in Test Drive Unlimited 2 on the PS3, way back when its servers were still online. That game would store your own save data locally (such was the technical limitations at the time), but also included a sort of route creator that'd let you upload created routes to a shared hub and let other people play them. It was common trick to back up your save data on a USB (or the cloud), create a route, set a $1,000,000 prize and $100,000 entry fee (both deducted from the non-USB'd personal save file), run the event as often as you'd like, and when you'd either ran out of money or the challenge ran out of time, you'd load the USB'd save (where you hadn't spent money on the challenge) and collect the prize. Many, many millions could be made quick and easy in a game that was otherwise notoriously grindy post-game.
The differences between what I did then and what you're doing now are as follows:
- At no point did I think what I was doing was perfectly not-cheating,
- At no point did I say I didn't do it while I was doing it, and
- At no point did I use that trick as an excuse to call the game balanced. The very fact that I had to resort to such exploits imply the game is anything but balanced.
Like I said, I don't give a 🤬 about whether or not somebody's cheating in a game. Well, cheating in this sort of context anyway. But I do care when they use said cheats as a way of belittling perfectly reasonable concerns.
