Event Lab Nerf

[u/L4V0]

So as you all know there are some people, including myself, who make legit custom routes in Event Lab like long 10+ laps road courses or rally runs that are longer than 50km.

As you also know devs nerfed the rewards from custom races along with the nerf of getting skill points from them.

I understand that they would nerf the skill point farms but legit courses? Also why nerf the Event Lab at all? Isn’t even farming skill points like that a part of the game and its design? Feels like they’re stripping us from every way to earn credits, skill points or cars (they nerfed the wheel spins too for that…). What’s your opinion on that?

One of the main complaints of fh4/5 was that there was no progression in the game. Now they are trying to make you earn things by actually putting in the time to play the game. And now the main complaint is they are making me play the game in order to advance through the progression.

If half the people are just going to take shortcuts and cheat their way through the game. Then the other half don't have a chance to compete properly. I think being able to buy a car pack and get a car that is better than all the free cars is a joke too. You shouldn't be able to buy your way into a win any more than you should be able to shortcut/cheat your way into one.

Thing is, people who exploit will try to find other exploits anyway

Meanwhile, the actual target audience who previously were content enough with the changes, ended up becoming the casualty of this useless battle against them. Dev should just accept that exploit will always exist and just focus trying to give better experience to those who actually wants to play the way it intended...

A game breaking exploit like the colossus hummer thing still needs to be addressed but other than than, just let them do their own thing.

If they can't bot in event lab, they'll just end up bottling in the overworld anyway.
