    Pay 2 win

    So, here's a little story for you guys. Risolutore1981 has somehow become my archenemy over the last months. We're in the same neighborhood scorewise, and you know how it works, one day he's got more points, the next day I lead and so on.
    So, I decided to check that guy's stats out on Bonxy's page and that turned out to be rather interesting. He's got 26 (!) faults while I am at 0. Still, he's in front of me on the leaderboard right now. Which made me wonder. I mean, that dude is a decent rider, but that just doesn't make sense.

    Until I decided to compare us on Bonxy's and voilà:
    He's mostly better on tier 1 tracks. So I tried to get him on one track there and realized right away why that dude has 26 faults more than me and still can lead on the LB. It's simple, he's got the Bandito. So he's able to pull stunts I can't pull with the KTM or any other bike on those tracks.

    The morale of the story is: If you're willing to pay, you dominate this competitive game.

    That was my little story about P2W, hope you guys liked it.

    Funny how bootlickers like you laugh at others. Not leaving anytime soon, so feel free to ignore my posts if you don't like them.

    I am spreading hate? Have you read your own comment?

    The only ones I "attack" are the irresponsible devs and publishers, your beloved leaders. Do you even know what "a priori" means? I complain about things that did and do happen (or not although they should), so get your reality checked.

    And you call me a troll, that's a first for me. You're ridiculous.

    Is this a serious thread? Of course people that pay get some advantage why else would they pay?

    The "of course" would only be valid if it was a designated P2W game.
    Instead, in the App Store it is described as a "skill-based racing game". Which it clearly isn't anymore, as sad as that is.

    So, yes, this is a serious thread.

    You don't need to pay to be good at the game. Once I finish all the unplayed tracks I have waiting I will be back in the top 50 or so as usual and I've never paid a penny. I don't mean to boast or anything, all I'm saying is with some dedication and practice, you can be elite and not need to pay (or pay minimal amounts). It does, however, cost you more time this way.

    I totally agree with you, you don't have to pay to be good. But paying makes winning a lot easier in this game, thus P2W.
    Sometimes, certain things simply cannot be achieved without paying, as well.

    It's a shame for a game that describes itself as skill-based.

    Yeah, I agree totally!
    Just because this game has turned in to grind fiesta! Back in the 2015 and the pumpkin event. I thought there were BAD grind.
    Newcomers can't catch up within a year or 2... All the event tracks arent available. Bunker tracks needs 6 months of playing.

    Also the unreleased tracks that some players open up to climb up the ladder irritates me greatly.

    This is the 1st event that I didn't get all the tracks with normal playing (well I was a bit lazy... because of summer and so nice to be outside).


    --- Trials Frontier (ANDROID) -- Highest regular LB: 20th -- Donkey LB: 34th------
    --- 255/258 tracks (10 not platin) (incl. 3 pvp) -- Showdown Legend ---
    --- Tier 1-3 bikes maxed -- Donkey maxed -- Agent maxed -- Stallion maxed -- KTM and KTM450 maxed --- Bandito 10/20 blueprints ---
    --- all achieved with free to play ---
