    Conspiracy

    Hackers/cheaters/mysterious players appear after TLE finished, or even closed, has been complained by many. Even players with unrealistic records are not banned but keep getting top spots again and again. This thing is so obvious and GL must know it.

    So the fact that this issue hasn't been solved indicates that they are either incompetent or don't care.

    But a third possibility is that they purposely let those hackers to get these rewards if not worse that they are employees.

    This way more honest players will try to get the rewards (say for top 500) and thus spend more, yet less honest players (may only 400) will really get the rewards since the limited reward slots are shared by many hackers (say close to 100)-- and GL know that hackers won't pay to get these expensive car or pro boxes anyway but honest players may. So it is better to reward hackers, who don't pay anyway, not to honest players, who may pay and have an incentive to pro up for next event.

    Even they may finally decide to ban those hackers, it is likely that they prefer to do this as slow as possible- this way more rewards are claimed by hackers which they will ban later - so effectively less rewards are distributed out to the player pool.

    The downside is that people will get disappointed and leave, then they have less cows to milk. But they may want to cash out this game or what so long term things aren't really their concern.

    Just my guess based on what I observe.

    Today I finally got some tokens for watching ads unlike the previous few days of the week. Naturally, this happened:

    So yes, I'll be playing Need for Speed Rivals. Or ARMA: Cold War Assault. Or Marathon Infinity. I suppose I'll have to miss that free Mustang GT then. Or maybe not.

    My account was also banned. Forum and fb is full of people that got banned. Something strange is going on at GL!

    One theory is that it might have something to do with SLS GT. If you never spent money on that game but have premium car. I'm not sure, one could also have won that car.

    I hope that is not the case. I haven't spend a single cent on this game as well, so I hope I don't get banned for getting that free Premium car last time.

    The people that should get banned doesn't get banned, but the people that shouldn't get banned are banned. :(

    It is especially bad, as tomorrow Mustang event will start. Now I will miss that event and car :mad: . The only luck is that it has not been started yesterday, so I was able to win Tramontana in mpe.

    The continual milking of cash cows doesn't make sense-no one is buying the cars. That's why they are offering the premium cars free in 5-day "cups." Its definitely strange how there are always a multitude of hackers that appear after the tournament cup has ended, but that's always been happening. I've recently resumed the game after a long absence.

    A long time ago when the Tuatara was available to the top 100 spots in the world I placed 7th. Around a year ago. After the cup I dropped to 14 right before I could claim the prizes. There were several times set by people using different cars or impossible times (on Iceland of all tracks so no glitches). I emailed them and reported the added hackers. Gameloft responded saying that some players were faster than others through practice and if I wanted to perform better in cups, I should improve through joining the stupid online Facebook groups. They just assumed the impossible times added were just by very good players. I feel sorry for those who are continually cheated out of prizes.

    I went pretty hard and placed decently in several cups recently but have lost out many times due to this. I don't know what to say. I'll just get the premium cars when offered.

    Topic: Felino CB7
    Many have been raving about this car and many still attest the Biome dominates. I have mine at 1439 and for one day, never lost a single race, except to a fully boosted Felino at 1460.
    Yesterday I went in the Felino and got matched only against 1500+ cars. I can still win most times with nitro starter, however a couple times I couldn't manage to outrun the 1550 Ferrari 458 or the 1490 Sestos after 3 laps. Any help?

    I would just max the felino. I personally don't like the design, very fedora-retro. Its lightweight construction and V8 can keep it up with some strangers to C cars beating them. But a 599XX is still going the same speed it always had (mine is 1569) and it doesn't lose to even biome unless I make a mistake. I think you'll bump into a few cars that look very fast like a 458, but they don't take off the line like you do, play dirty to make up for it.

    I want the TVR Cerbera Speed 12 to join, but that will never happen

    I lost over 100 positions AFTER the XTR cup ended, lost the 180 tokens. In terms of the DeZir and MP, it seems to be a winner. Never lost while wheeling it yet.

    I've seen an MP mash-up similar to what you're explaining for a long time. Some cars, as a result, I never use — like the NISMO which has to fight fully-boosted Ones. I have noticed, however, that this mash-up sometimes dissipates after four or five weird MP games. After that, things return to normal. To avoid this, I typically start with a car that rarely, if ever, has this happen — like the Mini in the past now the Renault, or the maxed/pro Survolt.

    Tips/Guide to Asphalt 8

    Hi There,

    Just downloaded asphalt 8 and was wondering if there were tips or guides to doing well in the game without purchasing in app purchases.

    Any specific cars or tuning, things is should be wary off etc etc.

    Thanks in advance.

    Keep making screenshots when cups end that show you are being pushed out of prizes, I got a very generous compensation gift yesterday because I have been spamming GL customer care for months with evidence of this.

    Good. I've been pushed out of prizes so many damn times as a result of this. I have screenshots, but I just never sent them in. Maybe I will now. It's frustrating win something and then wonder if you will get pushed out after the thing ends.

    My advice is to focus only on getting enough stars to get to Season 9.
    Only buy cars that will help you get to the next season.
    Only upgrade your cars when you need a performance boost in order to earn another star.

    Once you unlock Season 9, Max a car that has a short track in Season 9 (such as Dubai, San Diego, Alps, London Eye, etc). This will allow you to earn credits at a much higher rate – roughly 5k credits for a 1 minute race.

    Of course, this is not the only way to do things. It's just my suggestion if your goal is to earn enough credits to consistently compete in TLE's and/or Multiplayer.

    Been playing since 2013, logged well over 250 hours of legitimate play. Got the banned message today as well. I have filed a complaint, will see what happens now.

    Which email do you spam them with? I'm about to start filling up their inbox.
    Hold on a second, WHAT IF we are on their spam/black list? Hmmm....an interesting thought

    I just passed by to see if anything changed, and now I saw all the comments about the bans. Well, they can't ban me because I quit :p
    Seriously though, the heck's going on?

    I am spamming the in-game contact forms. Are you sending them emails from in-game or outside? Just wondering if they even received it because there is no immediate reply like an automated response.
