I don't understand the online XP and credit system at ALL!
Yesterday I hosted a game titled "GTP and friends". filled with 16 really good players from GTP and some of my other m8es. At least 12 of them were obviously great drivers, racing was extremely close until the end and the whole top 12 managed to finish within 15-20 seconds of the guy in 1st place in several races, while doing 3 to 10 laps on all kinds of tracks! Needless to say, it was a pretty awesome 2,5 hours to say the least!
Most people in that lobby were experienced with high a-Spec levels and we continuously raced identical stock cars, which made it really hard for anyone to dominate.
I managed to win a few, but felt VERY disappointed when finding out I only got 6 or 8k for beating a lobby full of 16 experienced racers with a-spec levels above 20-25 or even 30...
Next thing you know you join another game, take out your minolta vs some newbies with 400HP stocks, win the game (oh rly?) and get 15k for winning that race? What the hell?
XP and credits online should be calculated while taking your opponents a-spec levels into consideration. Racing in the same cars is obviously much harder, so that deserves a bonus as well. This way if you beat good players you'll get more money/XP. If you keep owning noobies to maintain your win ratio (to brag about it), your XP and credits will stagnate. This is the way it should be!
