So why take away this "bonus privileged time" if we can only have it for so long anyway?

Obviously the issues the AB brings with its existance needs to be addressed.

This fact (and attitude) is one of the main issues.

1. It's easy money, so that's the biggest reason for a lot of people never/rarely leave the autobahn.

2. Easy money itself is a problem.
- The tracks should ideally be as balanced as possible, so that one of the tracks isn't favoured more just because you can earn more/less money. This is why slow tracks (Sydney) have a higher bonus value.
- Kyoto itself is actually very nice to drive, but many people don't realise, because they're just grinding the easy money all the time.
- Getting lots of money fast is actually bad in the long run. Fast money means you're more likely to get all the cars and sooner. Then what? You have nothing to aim for, so you get bored and it's time for another reset. We're trying to find a balance of earning & spending rates with the aim of never needing to reset again as a result of people not getting bored with nothing to aim for. An easy money road/track just ruins that balance.
