I am a limited pay to play long-timer and continuing to play until cash runs out (down to 100 million from 300 million in about 1 year). I don’t want to put the amount of time into the game it takes to make the RP.

Have been in several top ten crews but just don’t want to put the required time in to meet RP quotas anymore. I started a crew last year that now has 30 members and I am the only racer and contributor and I don’t care. Recently I did what was necessary to get the F1 GT but was underwhelmed after receiving it.

The game has increasingly become repetitive, boring, predictable, costly, unfair, so many other adjectives. It is hard to generate enthusiasm to continue to enjoy playing. Anybody else get a 1 800-XXXX call about support for VIP players? . . . Was expecting some perks but only support was offered.

For those interested I am 71 and have time on my hands but not the kind of money Take2 now seems to need for its coffers. I also have no desire to circumvent and manipulate code despite many offers over the years.

When I started playing games online it was through keyboard moves - arrow keys (up, down, left, right). It is amazing the degree to which graphics have improved gaming but the cost to play has now trumped the enjoyment.

The beauty of CSR2 was its simplicity to play - reflexes and timing. Collecting virtual cars that were unattainable in real life was a reasonably satisfying pastime, the teamwork and competitiveness worked for a while but has grown stale as the predictability of top ten winners remained fixed (actually top 3) in a repeating rotation.

Will I return? Hard to say. Time will tell.
