what about to agree drivers for supporters.
i take the idea from a football manager, you can get good players with credits game.

from example:

in amateur a special list with drivers with 85 OA. and different caracteristics. all in 1000000 contract and the Signing on fee is 5 support credits. and you take from the market in any moment.

the list appears only for gpro supporters.

mod edit: no caps, please :)

NO !

The game is free and supporter credits don't give you any special benefits over those without credits and this will stay so.

And the reason for all Caps in the title is ... ?




I don't agree with this, paying for drivers. Credits are not supposed to give you an advantage in the game. This would do so, unless I misunderstood what you're suggesting.

No.

GPRO is a game equal for everyone. You can choose to be a supporter if you like to help the game, and that's it. For that you can get some extra advantages that can help you collect data easy. But a supporter status is not meant for any other advantages.

An advantage in the market is still an advantage in the game.

This whole site is the game, the market is within the game.

in this case, im supporter and i have some filter to find drivers, is an adventage too!!

i say that idea because the market madness, people in rookie who pay monster salary for drivers and ruin this.

PD: is only a idea, bad? maybe, but not crazy.

PD: and i never talk about this driver need to by betters, only other list for supporters.

You're not finding different drivers than non-supporters. Different story.

Doesn't matter, you get a bigger market of drivers than the others. Not good.

I have a driver who can win Elite on one day if I keep training him and he will in Elite cost me like 1.8m per race.

About sponsors, I have quite many sponsors joining me in near future, no need to worry about that ;)

Non-supporters can have a filter too if they download the excel sheet and insert a table...
The point is that if you're able to see drivers that most others can't and are allowed to hire them at any time, you definitely have an advantage in that you can take whatever driver you want at whatever salary you want. Because what would stop people who would idiotically spend hundreds of sc buying a driver with sc, then buying another driver for sc, then buying back the previous driver for cheaper for sc, all within the space of 1 hour? That's definitely an unfair advantage.

Imo 1mil is a monster salary for an 85 oa driver...

Not sure what the logic behind this statement is :| 1.8 M is a lot, pretty sure you can get a driver similar to yours atm for much much lesser....

Excel works much better imo, and you dont have to be a supporter for that, so no advantage :)

E: Josh already said all this in better words by the time this post went through.....

I actually like your idea, but maybe 5 credit is a bit high.

I never really get why supporters shouldn't have some small advantage.

No supporters, no game

Because buying your way to the top is unfair? Why would lower-level non-supporting managers bother playing past Amateur if the probability of them getting to Master/Elite is next to nothing? That's really strong advertisement there...

Good Idea.

Maybe we could also implement that you can do more training sessions for some supporter credits. And while we are at it, I think also buy some car parts with credits. Why not? As Steffen says.. no supporters, no game.

It wasn't an attack, it was just a simple statement. I was hoping he was just making a joke.

Supporter credits should be something nice to have rather then must have. Some extra features for supporters might be nice, especially in the statistics department.

It's not a joke ;). If I spend a lot of time on a game I always pay if i have the opportunity to do it.

I know it's my own choice, but as I said, some small advantages in the game wouldn't hurt.
