as per subject - could be that fewer randoms are hacked accounts, anyone else think that?

I did until by random chance just now as I exited the garage…
455 gamerscore in FH5 and 292 hours played.
I hadn’t seen any for a while though before this, I don’t normally bother who’s in the map with me but I saw all those players flying up the drag strip near each other and thought I’d have a quick look of who’s who.

Not really thought about it although as someone who is about to max out my account I am concerned a little about people thinking I’ve got a hacked account

well, not a problem with anyone reading your posts here, I’ve still got 2850 or so levels to go to catch up!

I’m not ashamed to admit I’m disabled and have no life outside of Forza

I have a fair bit of spare time on my hands right now but probably not for too much longer. As for disability, hope you haven’t had too rough a ride from society!

I think I’ve run into a couple of genuine prestige 10 players, although not maxed out. I’d always be sceptical of any 10/2999 players unless, for example, their driving skills reflected that level of experience (e.g., competent cornering).

I’ve seen a couple of 10* but not 2999 - like me and @CuriousGirl2591 though she’s way ahead of me
as you write, if there’s a vague hint of driving ability it could be real (not sure in my case, but I’m not at 2999 yet!)

Does Any Thing Happin When There Reported ?
I haven’t reported anyone for being 10* 2999 so can’t help with that, I do know that things happen for toxic racing, though.

I think there’s a way to check hours played so if the level quite obviously doesn’t match then it’s likely a modded account I guess

yes, gamertag, look up profile, that sort of thing, I’ve got . . . some . . . hours in the game . . .

This gets me thinking that when I retire/leave China in 2026 and have the time for such things, I should try and get 10* in a Horizon game just so that I can say I’ve done it.
I predict that I’ll probably be 9* in FH5 by the time FH6 is released.
But at the moment, my total time is about 4½ months or if I played the game eight hours a day, about one year and 20 days.
Thank you. You make my two months feel much less embarrasing now
Although I’m not going to claim that I use my free time any better anyways.

I have like 2000 hours ingame and is only 3 stars so how many hours is 10 stars ?

Impossible to say. So many variables, but I think the online racing yields best XP, and doing them constantly would get one there quicker.
Idling, just driving around and tinkering in the shop will easily put a lot of hours in the clock without any significant XP payback.
It’s not the time itself, but how efficiently you use it.

I have circa 2100 hours and 6 stars. Interesting difference which shows that there must be some differences in style of play influencing leveling speed.

I used to see star 10 level 2999 a couple months into the game when it launched.
A lot got there by the early in game glitches they took advantage of.
Modded accounts flooded the game so that brought another wave of star 10 level 2999’s
Usually you can tell those types if they appear in online races and can’t race if their life depended on it.
I’d say I’m fairly skilled and gold every month. I used to do rivals in FH4 but not so much in this one.
I’m only star 5 with 6 levels to go to star 6.
There are very few genuine star 10 level 2999 players.
Very few.
