    Paid vs Not Paid

    I would be interested to know. This especially helps determine who your "real" competition is as I have paid 0 and never will. Until all my bikes are stat-maxed I will consider my competition those people who have not spent any real life money.

    If you would like to post how much you spent that's cool.

    Never will. The more games put in cheezy tricks to get me to cough up money, the more determined I am not to. I consider it part of the game challenge.

    The irony is; an honest up-front fee to play unhindered would be gladly paid. They would make MORE money from me if they didnt try to put barriers in my way to my enjoyment. It shows the sad state of the average gamer that free-to-play mechanics actually work.... (sigh)

    Re: Paid vs Not Paid

    never paid, cant see myself purchasing micro-transactions. would have shelled out just for the up front purchase of the game tho.

    managed to max the armadillo, and just need 1 more tire upgrade to max the tango. bronco is at tier 5 and jackal and mantis are tier 4.

    zero,zip,nada,nil, never will.

    ive got my tango nearly maxed and the mantis, don't really use the other bikes so theres only a couple on the armadillo.


    I just use whatever gems I earn to speed up the slot machine and occasionally put the double gems mod on and play for a solid hour. rarely play tracks any other way because the rewards are too low.

    - my fuel capacity is 95, on a redlynx test vid of frontier they had ~4500, no cap, to my knowledge

    - no idea about slot machine, but i bet dumptruck is the highest (prob over 20 by now)
    How you achieved that fuel capacity?

    I haven't spent any money yet but I might. I definitely would rather of bought the game outright.
