Times have changed DK. The overall state of the community will affect the toxicity. It's easy for people to meme the crap out of this place and there's a reason for it
It's just 2 servers and those events happen on certain days. Now try to replicate those numbers by making an event where you have to actually sign up to compete...would that happen? Nop.
You usually suggest things by writing an useless essay about them that most people won't even read. The game has been stuck in development since 2009 and yet you throw these ideas as if they were some major game developer.
Just look at your suggestions on TC forums. None takes you seriously.
iR is not expensive. Can't have everything for free. It surely isn't expensive when you consider how many people actually play it vs how many people play LFS.
Knowing what kind of leagues Kiste has done in iR, you cannot convince him by saying that LFS has decent leagues, because it's false. Yeah the racing might be good but iR offers that atmosphere that screams for competition. In LFS tho it's just grandpas racing.
Randomly brought up memories of [AMG] AS3 w/ GTRs. The diversity back then was insane. Having servers both for GTRs, TBOs, GTIs and Open Wheelers to choose from and play on was too much fun. Falken Drift Server was a blast too, no bs, no dumb insim with a drift scorer, just everyone having a blast. Now even the drift servers have a biased community.
The competition is closer because there are more average racers than alien racers. Except for Botsi and Excellent, they are rather active and capable of doing gr8 hotlaps.
Fair enough but it is more than obvious that the pro racing scene is gone pretty much forever. The overall skill level is pretty low and the online scene is dominated by cruise servers. Reminds me of CS 1.6, it just kinda exists. Is it a bad thing? Oof, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Racing wise, still feels the same as it was in 2014. Could pretty much get within +0.4 within most WRs with XRR, still can. Too bad you can't extract setups like you could back then :kappa:. Oh well, at least you can use ridiculously low steering rotation (e.g. 240) and ~ 56 FOV to have an edge over other racers : )
Should point out more important things than telling how skins might not look as good as you want them online. Pioneer pretty much said it above. It's not that the people who might be against the way things have turned out for LFS, it's just sad to see how things have changed, or not changed since 2009.
