Anyone else sick of iGP devs?

Is anyone else annoyed by the devs stubbornness? They pretend to know what is good for you on this game and hardly ever take your opinions into account. They reject pretty much every suggestion you have, even if it is easy to implement, realistic, and easy to turn off if some people don't like it, and better for the game. For example, I would like prize money which is the same for all players, which many people want, including most of my league, but they just reject it and slam me for being "Bad at the game". They just want you to buy tokens and money with real money, which is NOT a HEALTHY BUSINESS MODEL. Please, devs, give us more freedom to choose what we want for the game and let us add things if we want, and if we don't we can just turn it off in the league settings. Devs, please wake up and take action to our desires.

The games not perfect, but then it’s free so it’s not meant to be. I have suggestions (which are debated) some get agreed with and some don’t, but that’s what opinions are about. In my opinion all my suggestions have been about making the game better and about making it more about skill than luck (some may disagree with this).

You seem like you’ve been playing the game for about a month, and have made more suggestions than most people make in months. They come across as you wanting an easy way to get better. You’ve had votes on them, and most people that have voted disagreed with your suggestions.

Two things -

1) If you want to get better in the game read some of the guides on here as they will help you improve, or join a league where it has a strong elite field and learn of people that have played the game for a while

2) You have to accept that it’s going to take time to improve, it’s not a game you can instantly become the best at. If you can’t accept that and don’t want to spend tokens to improve, then maybe it’s not the game for you

I want to make the game more realistic, and make leagues more competitive. For example, in my league, it has only been two players taking every win in this season. I am not saying that your opinions are worthless but you and some other people have been making harmful comments about me. the reason why I have been making so many comments is because I have had to reply to these disgusting comments. it is also not ok for a person who helps run this game to violate me, and so build a mob against me

There is no mob mentality, like you said, it’s a democracy and everyone is entitled to their opinions. If they don’t match your ideas it doesn’t mean a mob has been built against you or that people’s comments are disgusting.

It’s fair to say you’ve not played the game very long, as that is true. People, including myself, have given you advice on how to improve, but you have chose to ignore that. It has also been explained to you why your idea has been rejected, as there is already money from your sponsorship.

I think if you look back through your comments, it’s yourself that has been harsher, criticising developers etc.

I’ve looked at your league, and it only has a rookie league that is active. I’d advise to go to a league where there is also a pro league and elite league, where you can ask advice and improve. Why do the 2 teams keep winning? Are they higher level? Better strategy? Manage tyres better? Develop their car better? There is so much to consider and learn in the game that you can’t just say, give me more money and it will make it better.

Try asking for help, and listening, and you will improve. Read the guides if you’re struggling and ask more experienced players. It’s all available to you. I think you obviously want to improve but have gone about it the wrong way

The game is well balanced in terms of money with daily leagues in mind, with the exception of high levels and especially level 20 where it pays too much money and token due to cost factors breaking away. The sponsor income together with the token, which are enough for fresh engines all races and occasional YA scouting as well as getting some parts and fresh money if/when needed, cover the base needs running and developing the team nicely. Actually more so now as the new design range pretty much removed the advantage of hiring and using several CDs and turned it into a mere luxury spenditure, those 3 CDs needed for an optimal start into season stretched funds very thin indeed for a developing team in Elite.

Of course it requires running the team with keeping funds and parts in mind during team development. Being careless or spending too much token on visuals will require sacrifices or spending real money. It is indeed a bad business model in terms of the industry, because to earn real money you have to sell performance perks and put artificial stops into team development requiring insane amounts of grinding (100 (quick) races to advance level by one, increasing) or waiting times (1 season/2 weeks base building time per HQ building, works only at half efficiency during upgrading; 1 part per day, 1 new engine a week) if not bought away by the player with cash (premium subscription, double sponsor pay and XP and 50 bonus XP/day, back claim daily login rewards, triple free parts & engines, unlocks special premium exclusive technology and skills, great value at only $2.99/week!). iGP manager got a very good and fair business model for the players of the game. Even fully playable for free, which is quite an exception.

If I'm entitled to my opinions, why am I criticised for them. I think it IS disgusting to accuse me of being a druggie, or being an entitiled git. I'm asking for change, thats all, and i'm responding in the same way that you and others have to MY OPINIONS

Frankly, its their game, they made it for you and me to play it. They can do whatever they want with it, without consulting you or me.

So you see, them listening to us is not a thing they are obliged to do, we are lucky if they listen (which they do. From time to time).

Also, you buying tokens, off corse is what they want. Players buying tokens is what keeps the game going.

If no one buys tokens, who will pay for the servers to run the game? Or devs to develop the game further? The game studio would go bust, that wouldn’t be a healthy business model.

In this game, you’re not obliged to buy tokens to get better, or to win. you can become the best in the game without spending a dime, which is rare in a game.

So i wouldn’t blame the devs. The money thing can be found in every game as its necessairy to keep a game going. We’re lucky to have this game (which is not pay to win) and lucky to have this forum, i advise you to learn to appreciate it more, as we take things for granted too easily
