A few things I have noticed in my 16 month of playing Live For Speed:
*WARNING!* generalizations, personal opinions and stereotypes will be used! If you are offended by this,...well, tough!
-The blue flag spammers, from my observations, are for the most part, people whom have never driven a vehicle in the real world, much less a vehicle on the race track. IRL, a racer doesnt hit some key bind to move another out of the way,
it is mutual respect with both players. If you want someone to move, fill up their mirrors; that usually gets the point across. If you have a shred of talent, you can exploit a persons weakness so you can pass. You dont have to nerf or push to get results. Also, berate the ignorant backmarker
AFTER the race, OK? I get fed up with flooding, and I am sure others do, too!
-In regards to hotlappers on the track with others. Some time ago, I was on a server with a known hotlapper, and that person was the most rudest, vile, pushy racer I have encountered. I have seen wreckers with more class! Sure, that person won, with the fastest time, but after watching the replay, it was when the field was clear, most of the time the person was getting ahead by bumping people out of the way. Fast racers should win and excel with merit, fair play and strategy, and lead by example, not by being a bully, which is what I sometimes see played out on countless servers.
-Sam, you are right...there are some really great,fast people online. They lead by example, and are greeted with hellos and polite driving from other racers. They do their race, leave the juvenile drama out of it, and as a result, everyone has a great time.
For everyone, just remember this: it only take a drop of love to ruin a big old vat of hate. On the other hand, it take only one rotten
BANana to ruin the bunch. Dont be a rotten banana.
