@ Azelfland:

Personally I don't care if championship refill times are eight or twelve hours. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. I don't pay tokens to speed up the assembly of a car when I have collected all the blueprints. I've waited months for all the blueprints, so I can wait a few hours until the car is assembled. I don't consider myself someone who doesn't has patience or who cannot adapt to changes. And I always kept out of discussions where the word "Greedloft" was used. Just stay calm and enjoy the game, it's clear that Gameloft has to earn their money somehow.

But what I absolutely do not like is being forced to do something, especially when the other side doesn't seem to show the slightest attempt to do something in return. That said: Gameloft doesn't fix two severe bugs for more than two months now and, as a side effect, loading times for a race have nearly doubled. Gameloft even introduced a new bug so that you aren't able to play ads anymore. So you have no more chance to use a booster that counts per race. Two races and the booster is gone. Hey, but you can buy boosters for credits! Just farm! Oh, wait. It takes 50 % more time to farm now because loading times have increased. The game is getting worse while some aspects in it are made more valuable for no reason and with nothing in return.

You did a TLE race with an Elite car? Wait until it is tuned again. Or pay tokens. Want to have your credits doubled twice per day after a race? Hehe, nice screen asking you this question, eh? Sorry, won't work for you. Just look at it, we put some efforts in designing it.

While the fact that Gameloft doesn't fix the bugs is mere incompetence, raising the fuel requirements for TLEs is strategy. I can understand that they want you to come back to the game as often as possible. They have to keep you somehow addicted and give you those little satisfactory moments that make you feel good for a while and keep playing. But this time they give you nothing in return. Even the calculation that coming back often will result in more ad views and thus more money won't work because they were silly enough to stop ads by their own incompetence. And, after all, they forgot that many people (including me) have a job and (including me) a life. It was possible to do the main TLE races in one session and return to life. Perhaps come back later if you wanted to improve some lap times, your own choice.

I'm now in the fortunate position to own cars in every class that allow me to reach the main goals of a TLE mostly with an unboosted race. But for newer players this change only causes frustration. The strategy doesn't work. It's just annoying with no benefit, neither for the players nor for Gameloft. And if there is one thing I can't stand, it's greed combined with dumbness.

Oh, and I don't like people telling me how or who I am. So please refrain from doing so.
