@ Wilfriedv,

Nice post, a reassuring one. However, the problem with A8 now is that even these base D level cars are quickly getting out if reach for the starters, unless you spend real money.

Remember the first time the Ariel came? It required a sudden jump in V8’s that was not in line with D class cars. Agreed we got it at 00A0, or maybe even less for some, but still it’s problematic. Now consider the cars like the Infinity etc which also requires resources quite high for any starters to ditch them ultimately. Let’s not even talk about the other classes as the new cars will be out of bound for quite some of the veterans. That’s why everyone is speaking out against the ugly nature of resource exhausting new cars that suits the pros or the ones willing to pay the near ransom money demanded by GL. Years ago we thought that the Tuatara was the point where you define the really high costs, look at any new cars now. Just after the AIE, it was offered for a "modest" sum of ~ 100€ for those who wanted to have it. A virtual car for 100€!!! This coupled with the fact that it got dethroned really quickly, so it’s 100€down the drain for those who actually bought it! A good business plan even if expensive should al least be sustainable for those who spends. Here in A8, it’s all lies, fraud & deceit with a good amount of idiocy thrown in for good measure. With the near constant changes in ranks, nerfing the cars(including those unfair ones to begin with, like SLK SE of yore, R8SE, etc etc) it makes a mess of the whole ambiance. That’s why people call it unfavorable for the newcomers as they’ll struggle for a hell lot as compared to what we did years ago. I still like A8 because of its not so modern type arcade style(read earthy) and don’t like A9 for its artificial feel of driving along with the extreme glitzy appearance. But the new players might not get to enjoy A8, untill you get at least the cars/bikes necessary to enjoy it which is really difficult for starters. It’s not just about MP anyway.
