Has nothing to do with lfsf or not at all, it's about years of experience with the user unfriendly netkar multiplayer system. Be it for server owners or racers, it just wasn't good enough, now we're steering in the same direction again. Of course this is a first release and we probably see fixes and advancements but the core sytem underneath is just very limited.
Don't get me wrong I love AC, it looks and drives really well but the guys from Kunos just can't seem to get the ingame UI right, we got the same sytem since 10 years now, it was bad back then and is even worse today where they had to chance to start from scratch and still ended up with a system that forces you to quit the game for every little change.
