Talk:Showdown Update/@comment-27403942-20190817065349/@comment-36912561-20190817075751

I hear you, and the unfortunate truth is that many players would actually "like" to do the KD as its "encouraged" by GL’s set of playing rules, even though for many players it’s considered irritable and obnoxious and unsportsmanlike. Time and again we talked about this, but some people like the idea of destroying others rather than building one’s own castle!

The showdown update is another feather in the hat in this regard. In the interest of argument, let’s say that people get bored by playing the normal arcade races, so they need this sort of new ideas to freshen up things. However it’s still considered obnoxious by many, which GL has NO WILLINGNESS to understand and accept. It’s GL that after developing a good arcade game that turns a blind eye to these wrongdoings and tends to do very little (mostly nothing) to rectify these problems.

Remember in the past years how players used to have a nasty habit of jumping at specific places to get that precious shortcut to gain an upper hand against others? This is still there and counting! Then there were players racing the opposite direction to hamper others races, to which GL says they can’t do anything. It’s easy enough to disqualify someone who does this willingly and not accidentally.

So in short, if the problem lies within the developer it’s highly unlikely that they will go away as they are the one’s that creates these monsters with all the possible damaging after effects. That’s the only reason why I don’t spend a single cent on this game as I know from my experience that I will regret this really soon.
