Fisp's ban

[RaiUwU]

Yeah, you concluded it by yourself that manual submissions is indeed not a feasible solution. Making things submits manually creates an impractical barrier, not to mention that it will also means weekly toptime rewards mechanics will be invalidated as well. I am aware of the TM cheating things and their new what so called competitive build but i don't think the same method can be adapted here, if this stays at MTA platform that is. Also believe or not, that i am not really sure about it even myself since i only heard some bits of it but such telemetry data of certain runs (speed, rotation, fps, etc) are fetchable in NFSSA but they are like complicated. But its there. Problem is that, yeah, admitably, they "do not care" about the competitiveness that much to make most use of it.

In conclusion, they can't fix the game (yet, hopefully), so banning is a temporary solution. Banning one exploiter will just then we will eventually have another, but its still better than having both of them present at once. They don't care about competitivity doesn't equal that they don't enforce rules anymore. Punishments should keep rolling.

Yeah, they can't fix the game and don't want to make effort for the people that want to be competitive here, so the most obvious solution would be to deactivate top times once for all, and keep only weekly tops for the bonuses it gives. And with that people would stop caring about this topic because times wouldn't be getting recorded forever on a leaderboard with your name showcased there like it does today, maybe it does not work the same in URL, but in URL it's easier to handle this subject, because it's way more obvious to spot cases of exploiting on URL. Seriously I can't think of a more feasible solution than that, it doesn't solve problems, but also don't create others, and also pleases the staff needs of not wanting to do anything about it.

Also if you take into consideration on how stuff works on this server, you can argue that this game is clearly not for competitiveness, since all the updates that the game has is for cosmetics and stuff, you can consider this server basically a tuning server, not a racing one tbh, racing here is just for funs really and ride around with your riced car. So by deactivating tops and focusing on what the server has focused for a few years by now, which is tuning updates, would do a lot better for the server.

Aww hell no, If they delete top times again there is no reason to play anymore. I don't care if some of them are achived with exploits, especially when they are on drag races that noone cares about. We can't give up competetivness just because there are cheaters. There will always be in online games. There is already to much boring grind things already here, but deleting things are not going to do any better for the server as you said.

if nobody cares about drags, all toptimes are already exploited, everyone who sets them is suspected of cheating, you can hide ranking table and make this game mode just4fun till its fix. Seems like the best decision

Reminds me those days years ago when toptimes were actually deactivated and people boycotted to bring it back. As once someone said its just impossible to please both parties at once i guess.
