Need For Speed :: San Andreas

List of already existing features:

• Add own songs to playlist
  
• Private Messages settings (block spammers etc.)
  
• Unlimited cars amount in garage
  
• Unlimited drivers amount
  
• Sell cars for 85% of car worth instead of 70%
  
• +10% RP and cash bonus after races
  
• +6 additional vinyl layers
  
• Helper while looking for parts for Unique Cars
  
• Own nametag color
  
• Change driver name and skin (1 time per 7 days)
  
• Unlimited magazine covers
  

I would expand this list by adding:

• 3% rp and cash increase for people in the race. It would work like this;
  

          1. player [premium] 10% increase                           1. player [premium] 13% increase
          2. player [nopremium] 3% increase                         2. player [premium] 13% increase
          3. player [nopremium] 3% increase                         3. player [nopremium] 6% increase
          4. player [nopremium] 3% increase                         4. player [nopremium] 6% increase

• 5% discount for visual things
  

I think those changes wouldn't make premium p2w, but are nice additions to already existing features. Players without premium would be happier too.
3% rp and cash increase should only be added to quick races, because I see people making custom races named Premium only.

5% discount for visual things is ok but 3% rp and cash increase for people in the race...too grindy and will be easy to farm.

It's good how it is right now. As LisiastyLis already said, it would give more people to farm even more faster RP and Money. But it shouldn't be like that, because all player with such a bonus would reach the main goals (to unlock the best cars) too fast and the game / server would get boring quickly. This shouldn't be like a normal NFS game, where you can rush trough it and finish the game or unlock everything you need within one or two long play sessions.

It sounds like pay2win
