@ Zlatan

Thank you buddy! I hope I can reach 2500+ too! I'm so happy I broke the 2300 barrier today and even did 2341! The more tracks I master the less rating points I lose trying to bail out of a track I didn't master yet :D

If you suspend the application soon enough even when it locks you into the lobby, you are able to bail out of the lobby (if you don't like the track or the lap number) without the disconnection penalty to your ratings and without losing your ticket. I wouldn't be attain such a high rating if I wasn't able to bail out of a locked lobby without a penalty coz I still need to master some tracks. And some tracks aren't available for the Vulcan in the game except for MP or events so it will take me a lot of time, seeing them in events and mastering them there. To really master a track, you have to be able to play it over and over at least for 15 minutes, trying to replicate the best run on youtube.

I understand why really good players leave the lobby when the track being chosen is too simple. For instance, you might be a 2500+ guy and very skilled. But if it is Barcelona and if you don't start close to the front of the grid,  you will most probably lose to a 2000 guy starting at the front. Once the guy manages the first turn successfully and if he knows the best run, it's game over :D You can't catch him.

But in technical tracks they can always easily defeat people with less skill. Skill matters to the most in techical tracks.

But I agree we shouldn't be this calculating. But it's the design of the game with ratings and rewards points that make us too competitive too ambitious, too calculating. I think MP should be just for fun, with no extra rewards apart from the credits you normally earn. And of course there should be ratings but no tickets. This way, people will be less calculating and savage in MP. It will be more fun!

I play MP relatively a lot coz I enjoy it. I play it with non ticket races too. I did 512 races this season.

And by the way, GL never fails to frustrate me. It really sucks that you get less rating points when you spend more tickets! I doesn't make any sense! If  you're not lobbying, it is just your skill that brings your ratings!
