"Well, if somebody told me they were losing sleep and spending nights and real money on a stupid free P2W game, I'd feel pretty sorry for them tbh."

There's plenty of people here who spent an inordinate amount of time or cash (many events require one or the other, you pick). For me, it was the former.

"That's how it should've been since 2013. Skill-based, not "let's use a triple-boosted, broken car to compensate our lack of skill and to abuse a broken system" based. There are almost 240 cars, but MP was virtually limited to two or three, which apart from ridiculous, must've been boring as hell. It was either turn into a Terminator on wheels and be an asshole or get screwed in every race by said assholes."

That's exactly the problem, they didn't start like this in 2013. Sure there were obvious OP cars. I ate crap in MP for a very long time until I worked my way up to obtaining useable MP cars with MP tunes. It's a rite of passage. You work your way up. It's clear which cars were OP and aimed to obtain them with OP tunes. There was a point to progressing in the game. Now, it's a crapshoot. You could be a noob, get the most OP car in the current MP matchmaking (e.g. Atom, 959, Evoque, etc. whichever it turns out to be), and tune it to the most OP tune for the current rules. Not much challenge to work up to a good MP setup. While on the other hand, the rest of us have those cars with the old MP-style tune which is not viable now. No way to detune (except the one time CC resets a car for you). So, we're all screwed. Thanks for nothing.

"I'll be the first to dance in the graves of MP tuning and OP cars, and I'll love to hear the cries of the so-called "pros" whose toys got rendered "useless", you have no idea how glad this makes me."

I am mid-level player who worked hard at the game to obtain those "(now) useless toys", and enjoyed the challenged of moving up in MP (skills-wise, and obtaining MP cars/tunes). Now, all that effort is wholly wasted. Thanks for nothing.
