Fix car access and credit economy imbalance (Auction House, Playlist, Backstage)

Dear Playground Games Developers

This is a major concern so I made an attempt to be as specific as possible

I cannot stand players who have more than roughly 50m credits or just more than the game intended (usually obtained by abusing the auction house) it disrupts the economy in an extremely bad way, I believe the festival playlist is responsible for the severe imbalance in credits split amongst the playerbase, the festival playlist is the only way to fairly unlock new additions to the game if a player misses the playlsit they are left with 2 options:

  1. They snipe one on the auction house, This method may not work as most festival playlist cars cost upwards of 10 million credits on the auction house sometimes and some players may not have more than 1 million credits also theres absolutely 0 certainty that a car will definetly be found on the auction house.
  2. The backstage, this method is not even guaranteed to work yet the only way one can take advantage of it is by waiting the entire games life cycle and once its inevitably introduced they must hope its voted in as a backstage car.
    This means a player may never get a car they wanted in the entire games lifespan

I understand the credits CONTENT CREATORS have helps them make content without having to worry about saving in-game credits but there are other people in the game who have 0 business having more than maybe 1 million credits yet they have more than 100 million because they got several festival playlist cars and sold them for max value and all of them sold.

The best and really only way to fix this is scrapping an end of life backstage system and bringing cars to the autoshow shortly after the series ends. If the playlist can’t be removed or atleast revamped to not enforce playtime then atleast bring the cars or I’d assume other potential cosmetics now that we have houses to the autoshow or wherever we’d be able to purchase garage decoration so that players who were unaware or unable to unlock these cars can get them.

This is a great fix because the players who unlock the car during the series get the car for free whereas the players who missed the series can purchase it through the autoshow. This would in theory fix the auction house economy crisis because cars would not be unobtainium and would in theory create an overall balanced economy amongst the general playerbase and would likely push players to play more often and allow them to enjoy every session without making the game a grind and a capitalism simulator.

Remove the auction house in its current form and replace it with a proper used car dealership for buyout sales, and then a new and more realistic auction house where there’s no buyout and each auction takes like 5 minutes.

I think they should remove the loyalty system completely but I understand some people enjoy this feature so I’d like it to be optional at the beginning of a new game, for me the game is about the grind and a 500k lambo and a 200k Porsche out the gate along with my 1999 mk3 golf that I choose as a first car (not really just an example) is abit much. Please start me with next to nothing. Tbh I’d also like to see the first car be a loan so we aren’t just given a car or we don’t just start with 15k to choose one, start us with 1k deposit for a loan car, each race takes money off until we have enough to actually buy our own car… this is the real grind I want.

I think you’re referrimg to the cars we earn for having played previous games and I don’t think they’ll be an issue I’d assume some championships would be restricted to certain car classes unlike fh5 where it would change depending on what car you re driving

I honestly just don’t want the cars, any cars in my garage essentially I want to say I raced, I won and I bought the cars to progress, of course that’s a personal thing and some people might not like the grind like me, but that’s why I stated it should be made optional. It’s not about having races made easy by choosing cars that suite me over AI or others. More so just about the actual earning of them.

Actually I wasn’t really liking no auction house… but if I think of it this way… I like the way it sounds.
