Ovih Sapiens , no u did not help me. i said someone is sending me messages and i want to block him and u told me u mute him but he started again sending me messages and friend request many times and it was very annoying. you never told me i could block messages from my account. a normal player just told me i could go in my account settings to change the setting to block messages. why you did not told me this ? i also put a post in the support forum and nobody answered except a normal player who told me how to block messages. at least i got rid of this problem but this annoying guy sopo lulu is still here harassing people and should be banned from the game.

Speaking for me the problem with questions like that is sometimes things in the game appear so common you don't think about it or assume the asking manager knows about it but it isn't what that manager exactly wants. I also stumbled over your question, but unfortunately to the end of my break and was too much in a hurry to do an answer, maybe luckily so as with just enough time the answer might've been 'No, you can't block a user currently' and might've ommited the ', there's only that general block all PMs, friends only or allow all option' as I automatically thought this was another case about blocking a single person without having to shut down all PMs. After work I've forgotten about the post and only got remainded, in several ways, by the answering post and I'm sorry about that.

About banning that player, I don't know the nature of those messages but player that insult or otherwise post derogatory messages do get mutes or downright get banned depending on severity. But if it's the kind of player that's just too eager and communicative and just won't get the 'hint' that the kind of messages is felt as spam (actual come to my league type or just general seen as meaningless clutter) and not appreciated, then, as annoying those surely can be, such a player can't be banned from the game for that.

Ok i accept your apologies but i guess next time you will think about saying this to the person who ask if we can block someone from sending messages. I did not know about that. I make it so only friends can send message to me.

About the game problems , i said i was gonna quit game also because one of the last race i was in , i got some issues and i felt that it might be because that guy who was annoying with me was maybe an admin. He sent me a message saying he saw the race in canada gtrack like 2 days before the race. then when that race happened , i could not change my strategy one hour before the race and it was showing heavy rain. the race started and was no rain at all. i was really confused because this looked like if they played in my account or something in the game so it gets messed up. i guess u will tell me thats impossible but i was really mad. now i do feel better and i will wait for now and see if i can still enjoy the game.

Are there any plans to fix what the last few updates have ruined about the game? Players are dropping like flies

Yeah they are. I’ve lost nearly 15 teams that have just up and left the game in my leagues.

I've noticed that those who making own engines also making B teams and buy their own engines. The don't run the B team in any league just prevent the others to buy the engine.

In my opinion it should be like driver transfer. So the level 5 team should not able to buy a lvl22 teams engine to prevent this.

In that case the engine manufacturer should have the right to decide whether to accept an offer to buy their engines.

So you basically want some rando to have the ability to 'steal' a manufacturer's engine. Something they worked hard at getting, either by clicking and watching countless ads or investing through tokens but yet can't do as they please with it.

Makes perfect sense ?.

So when you buy something is stealing.

Right. Any more stupid conclusions?
What I say is that the whole engine to buy process is pointless like this.

I manufacturer my engine, then 'you' a total rando comes and 'buys' my engine without my consent. Doesn't that make you a thief?

Do you like stealing?

I think the manufacturer should be able to decide whether or not to sell the engine.

As for selling to accounts owned by the same person that shouldn't be allowed. Like how it was for selling staff/drivers directly

How would that work Ghost?

Your alt account will simply go through the same process as those not yours and still get the engine.

Also why is it an issue? If I manufacture an engine, I'm doing it for myself and nobody else.

You can exploit the fact that you earn money from the costumers. Once at level 30 you can create multiple accounts to buy the engines at max cost and farm money.
They can check IPs to see if the accounts belong to the same person. Of course it's not perfect and it can be a person from the same household but distinguishing this cases shouldn't be a problem. Enforcing then penalties such as account suspension or permanent ban can discourage this behavior.

I do agree that the contract being free to however gets the link is bad.
The best way, in my opinion, is for customers to make an offer and the manufacturer can either decline or accept.

This way it reflects more on what an engine manufacturer would do, sell the product at the higher price possible.

You are right on the money exploitation and it could add up to a huge amount. Hopefully something to limit that can be done, though I'm doubtful the IP route is the way.

A big YES to manufacturer/customer contracts.

Sorry Nigel what you are saying is dumb. Managers can’t protect the engines they have designed? Why shouldn’t my other teams benefit from the engines I have developed? Why should anyone be able to buy them without my agreement?

As for money exploitation I’m not sure I agree. Yes someone could do the same as Ghost says, but the counter is they could be bought by other managers anyway so no real advantage there and when someone reaches lvl 30 is in-game money really relevant I doubt it.

You don't understand me. Until the game let the players to buy customer engine it should be fine regardless if it's a good in the game or not. I think to make a B team, and buy your A team engine and but not running the B team in any league is kind of a play a loophole. And that can be called cheating. Do you like cheating?
Anyway all I've done was to mansion a mention a common case in the game. I use stock engines, not interested to buy customer engine or develop my own at the moment. Just noticed that while I was surfing leagues and players.

I’m not aware of anyone doing this, but if they do how is it cheating? They are not gaining an advantage, but just protecting their property from others. I have a random manager using one of my engines. It doesn’t bother me as they aren’t in my league, although I would want the ability to reject an offer if I didn’t consider in my best interest.
