Kyoto layout

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.

Isn't this the reason why the 'service' and 'condition' function came in? Because people had all cars and +500,000 euro's which they couldn't spend?

You're talking about unbalance that already has been fixed by these functions Elmo, people will have to earn money to get their cars a service or to buy new cars if their old ones are worn out.
So this track was a great opportunity to gain some money for example: fines, service, cars, rentals.

Ofcourse it is annoying if people don't drive around the track, but stick to the autobahn. It is just because of this opportunity! I'd prefer the autobahn too, because it is fun besides the easily gathering money.

Why do you even come to cruise server to drive circles? Is it really fun? Or then you just try to earn money but earn it for what? New faster car to drive a circle with? Go to oval server if you want to drive around and around the oval. I drive because I want to cruise. And tbh, cruising is just driving where the road goes. I'd hope everyone else would think that driving is what we are doing, eh? Not driving around. + Theres always ppl, who come to a slower point of traffic with their fast cars in the AB and start honking their horns and trying stupid overtakes, while they could wait 10secs that the jam clears out.

Because you're thinking like this, doesn't mean everyone has the same opinion ofcourse. No, it is not to 'drive circles' but it is fun to have a high speed cruise with friends.
And go to an oval server, Kyllone, as part of the community you do understand that you don't see all your friends in some random oval server right? Besides, the layout and the traffic does it all, it is very realistic .


If you'd ask me for the biggest issue, I would agree with Kyllone. (See the bold part in Kyllone's quote)
Fast cars, underestimated skills, high speed, slow traffic.. A total disaster if someone does crash.
Thats why (including me) are trying to find a better solution as a complete lockdown of the autobahn.

Any second opinions?
Kind regards,
