[EDIT FROM PAGE TWO: Can we keep the aggressive nouns to a minimum please? I used the word "cheaters" once, sorry, and I've seen some other nouns and don't wish this thread to be deleted. There are a lot of good ideas on here from everyone and if we keep at it, maybe we'll come up with a system the entire community could get behind and possibly get in game. One of the many reasons I joined GT Planet but mainly for clean endurance racing. =) Please and thank you.]

Personally, I think they should. It is completely unfair to the people who are doing all they can to reach the professional levels of competition in a clean and fair manner. Recently my DR and SR were destroyed by intentionally dirty drivers in Round 4 and 5 of Season 4's Manufacturer Series as well as in the Daily races. No matter how clean I was, no one seemed to return the kindness this week.
If they do not start banning players using unfair tactics, then the long awaited Digital License should be implemented. There was talk of a Digital License before the game was released and I was thinking it should be implemented. Such a license would help. By making it similar to the older S license tests, the elite tests, and increasing the difficulty of the tests, it would separate the every day "for fun" players from the serious sim drivers who are trying to make it into their Regional Finals and ultimately the World Finals.
Do I think there should be other requirements? Yes.
Some examples would be having to achieve gold ratings in all Campaign Mode categories and Track Experiences. I think there should also be a requirement to maintain at least an SR rating of A though I would prefer it to be S. Maybe having to watch the Driving Etiquette video after an SR downgrade. The last thought is should the Digital License be priced? I'm unsure of this one, kind of on the fence. Yes because it would bring out those truly serious about competing cleanly and fairly. Also, with F.I.A. being involved, maybe a paid for Digital License could somehow help those wishing to obtain real world competition licenses get their foot in the door more easily. But no because maybe not everyone who is serious about competition could afford it if the price was set around the price hinted at before the games release which was around $300 USD.
I'm interested to hear everyone's opinion on the matter as GT Sport seems to be the leading eSport racing game for console players. Not everyone can afford an insanely powerful gaming PC, direct drive wheels and other things used for the more in depth simulators like iRacing. GT Sport compared to PC simulators, in my opinion, is becoming the next best thing. You don't have to pay money for individual cars, tracks or even to enter certain race events unlike iRacing. Not dogging iRacing, it's great but I sure as heck can't afford it.
