Driver Numbers

Adding driver numbers was a decent idea. Pricing them at 20 tokens to change is just way too high. It was mentioned in another thread and the response from Jose was:

“As for the driver number, in real life, drivers are assigned their number once, and it's something they keep for their entire career, rather than changing it regularly. This is why we’ve priced it the way we have. ”

Fine, makes complete sense. What does not make sense is I am running in a league with, I believe, 32 cars, and almost all of them are number 32.

If the numbers were assigned randomly, I could understand, but when everyone has the same default number, well, that sort of defeats the purpose of the numbers to begin with.

Your comment made it seem as if the numbers are randomly assigned, which would make sense. Not everyone set at a single default number. 

Drivers have randomly assigned country, and it makes sense that we can opt to pay $$ to exit it. 

But if everyone has the same default number, and the cost is so high, no one will change it and it actually looks sort of silly with 32 cars running around the track all number 32. 

First, I think you need to relax.

No one said anyone was forced to do anything.
Let’s cut to the chase.

What I am saying is you added a feature that on the surface was a nice touch, but the actual execution ended up looking ridiculous. 

If someone wants a specific number, they will pony up for it. But the reality is at the cost, most will leave it and because the numbers are a default 32 and not random, we end up with 32 cars driving around all numbered 32. 

I think maybe I am not clear or there is a misunderstanding.

I will try to be more clear.

I am not saying my opinion that the price is too high is the ridiculous part. That is my opinion and someone else may think differently. I doubt it, but possibly.


What looks 100%, with out a doubt, ridiculous is 32 cars driving around a race track all numbered 32. There is no debating that it just looks ridiculous. 

I honestly don’t understand your combative, condescending tone. I have been playing this game for well over a decade. I want it to be the best possible, same as you. I also want you to make $$.
When you came out with the update, I made sure to make a small purchase to support the team. I am just pointing out what almost everyone is talking about.

I don't care about the cost of changing numbers, even tho I understand people complaining about it. What I find silly is to only have 1-32 as an option.
As you also stated:
“As for the driver number, in real life, drivers are assigned their number once, and it's something they keep for their entire career, rather than changing it regularly. This is why we’ve priced it the way we have. ”
Well, in real life, drivers choose their favourite number to keep it for their entire career. Therefore I'd have expected 1-99 as an option. What if I don't like any number from 1-32? I'd happily spend 20 tokens to pick my favourite number (which is outside the 1-32 range), will never do it if I can't pick it.
