Well... I really don't see the point of the Infected gamemode at all, but I will touch upon your last point...

A good game does NOT require you to switch your brain off and ignore every single goddamn fault of the game. This is especially true when so many problems exist in A8 that actually nearly makes it impossible to advance in the game without the ludicrous spending of real money. Let's take... Asphalt 7 for example.

There were a couple of faults in it (i.e. Wallriding in adrenaline mode or level 3 nitro didn't slow you down), but for the most part, it was a great game with good graphics (graphics don't make the video game... NFS 2015 anyone?). The game actually required some form of skill to play because of the twistiness of some tracks, and overall it was much more enjoyable to play. Sure, there was some grinding involved, but it was kept to a level where you DIDN'T need to spend the national debt of the US (or any money at all) to progress. Each race paid about 100 grand on average, which is... many many more times the amount of money you would EVER be paid for a race in A8. See a problem with that? The tracks actually were super enjoyable to drive on without 5000000000 miles of straight road for you to fall asleep at the wheel at. The tracks in A7, A6, AND A5 for that matter were ALL better than A8.

There are so many problems in A8 to have ANY amount of fun in it... so therefore it's basically impossible for me... or anyone else fed up with this "game" to follow your advice.

And waiting? We've waited for a fucking long time and nothing has changed. Waiting solves nothing you should know by now...
