User blog comment:ShinnyShin/The Problems with Elite Cars/@comment-28856025-20170216054648

I gotta agree here. The Elite Cars system is totally a big screw-up. As PQ said, the only useful Elite Cars are the RX8, M2, CLA 45, Vulcano (which I don't have actually), LP 750-4, and Devel. All the rest for me are nothing more than black holes that suck in cash and time.

As for vehicle condition, I have had my RX8 mysteriously change its condition on me thrice:
 * 1) When I had the car at "Good Condition", but the bar suddenly changed to "Perfect Condition" when I was selecting the car for a quick race.
 * 2) The car suddenly filled up again from "Good Condition" to "Perfect Condition" right before my eyes.
 * 3) The bar suddenly turned red even though I didn't even use the car.

The waiting times also destroy the fun of wanting to use cars that can be tuned based on your preferences. While Class D cars are usually 1 hour, C, B, A, and S are 2~3 hours.

I have to say that to add more EC's means that the player will potentially have more unusable cars rusting in their garage and that tuning them up regularly, while it can be a problem for me, isn't too much since I don't use my Elite Cars a lot anyway. But why would I waste time draining my device's battery playing A8 just to wait for my SV to finish tuning up when I can play Forza Horizon 3 and drive the same car without any big restrictions (other than having to sign up for VIP membership for a cost of $20 so as to get the SV, F12tdf, Falcon XR8, Regera, and Evolution 1020)?

Is GL really trying to build an even bigger demonic monstrosity than the disaster that was the Fuel Events Update? I think so. That update was responsible for sealing GL's current fate. I need to agree with the below comments: GL, EA, and Activision have gone too far with their greed. One good reason why I no longer buy games from the latter two. You know a company is in freefall when it starts to totally prioritize profit over everything else.
