So as we all know Trials HD was one of the greatest games of all time, and Evo ( even with all its bugs ) is in my opinion atleast, Is one of the very few games that are better then THD, with that said an out the way its time to get to the point. I fully understand the reason an requirements for both the true fan badges an the newly added wrenches, but what about the people who have followed, supported an bought every thing redlynx has ever made? I mean I know that hundreds if not thousands of people out there is in the same boat as myself, I know that I may not be the best rider or builder for that matter but I've been a part of this community for damn near 3 years but yet all the feedback I've ever got is always the same, "another great track Bones" that's pretty much all I ever hear. Like I previously stated, I know I'm far from the best but I just feel like the people like myself who have dedicated all their time (an money) to redlynx in every way possible should get some kind of recognition for their hard work, determination an dedication to this company.
I'd really like to see Redlynx do something for people that aren't elite of the elite of the elite of the elite, or the top 0.0001%. There's are a lot of builders out there who spend massive amounts of time, and while not creating in-game quality tracks, they are still high quality, good tracks.
One of the biggest problems Redlynx has and needs to address, imo, is for those creators. When a creator builds a track, spends 40+ hours on it and is high quality, and it only makes the top rated 48hour feed and gets a few thousand downloads, yet there's a track thrown together in 15-30 minutes that makes the top rated weekly feed.
What incentive do those builders have to keep trying to improve or make new tracks when it's not being seen by anyone because it's been bumped off the top rated feeds.
What's the incentive for builders to keep making those quality tracks and stay interested in this game. How many creators have just given up out of frustration because of that?
I really think Redlynx needs to help more creators, improve the COMMUNITY of builders and not just the top 0.0001% them.

I wonder if it would be possible to get a leaderboard for track creators. I don't know what would be used as a basis to rate or list the builders on. I don't think downloads or user ratings would work, there are plenty of bad tracks that get plenty of downloads and good ratings. I'm sure people smarter than me can think of something that works though.
I think this would help a lot, players would always have a way of finding the best track creators and their tracks if all of them are in one place, in a nicely organized in game list.
Badges would be a good idea. I'm one of the lucky few I think.but for seasoned trailers should get some sort of nod of approval..
LOL it has just come to my attention that this thread could be interpreted as me going on another big rant or crying cause I don't have a TF badge or a wrench but please believe this is not the case, I just honestly love this game an truly want to better the experience of it, this is simple an attempt to try to stop or slow down the flow of decent quality builders from leaving the game an community
I know dude..I totally get what your saying..trials isn't a game,it controls your life for the period you play..even when I'm not on trials,my head is spinning with trials...lol. I totally get ya bro..)
Some gesture from the top would be great to see a lot of trailers get IMO..

Just my 2 cents on the topic but as I see it, if you demand it, you don't deserve it. Just be patient and let it happen when and if it happens, guys.
It's not like a small pile of pixels defines our lives
