why ppl hate drifters
i see a lot of post where we can see "i hate drifters and freeroam"
so ... why the devs put a "cruise" mode for server ?
why we can see "drift" as a team tag into lfsworld ?

i dont want to see some talkshit here i just want to know why ppl acting like that with us ? its useless and they lose a lot of time for nothing ...

soo give your oppinion thx

Generally, "ppl" don't hate drifters. What people hate is posts written in ****ing "txt" speak, as if you don't have a whole keyboard available to you. What people hate is this ridiculous persecution complex a lot of drifters have. What people really hate around here is threads saying "whai u be h8in drft0zz?" Trust me, this is NOT the first "why do ppl hate us so much" thread posted by a drifter. A search of the forum might have told you that. If you'd written in english.

I don't care how you drive. It really doesn't bother me. Most people don't give half a shit if you'd prefer to slide around five corners instead of having a race (which is the focus of LFS, so far anyway).

Of course there are a few racers that really do hate drifting and are very vocal about it, but they're a small minority. Just like there are a few drifters that pop up here and there and say "u only h8 driftin coz u cant do it lol" and pepper the improvement threads with requests for "drift tracks plz", "omfg more smoke plz", "tuning & bodykits plz lol" without even checking to see if they've been suggested yet, then flaming people who have the nerve to suggest a search would have been a good idea.

Get over yourselves! Noone's out to get you, but if you keep posting idiotic, paranoid, whiny crap like this, people are going to get pissed off at you.

That's my opinion, based on observation of this forum over the last 4 or 5 years.

useless post ? i prefer to use some cutted word like "ppl" beacause im realy bad in english and i hate to do some error

peaple cant be mature and just say please take care about your writing manner ???

OK, language (and shift-key ignorance) aside, what people hate is drifters constantly posting threads exactly like this one. Every little while, someone posts exactly the same question. Drift doesn't annoy me, stupid threads on the front page do.

Bottom line: noone hates you, noone is out to get you, noone is out to wipe drift from the face of the earth. If you're so worried about it, why keep posting threads like this and attracting attention to yourselves?

I'm sure other people have theories about the reason for this supposed hatred, but that's my two centimes.

*requests lock*

its not requesting attraction

its about all i read and i want to know why racers say a lot of shit if you think its not about you just keep quiet ...

The reason the devs seperated cruise servers was because no real racer wanted the entire first page of servers to be cruise servers. I really think they should do the same for drifting because the drift servers also fill up half the first page of servers.

It's rather annoying to get hyped up because there are 80 populated servers. But then you get to see that 8 of the first 12 servers are either drift or cruise, and then the next 4 are racing servers and there's no one in them or there the same old combo.

yeah but if they put it for drift they should put it for race and drag race ...

Firstly, I don't think people "hate" drifters.

Secondly, If you spend some time searching this forum, you will find a stack of opinions about drifting, and the conflict between racers and drifters.

I think its safe to say that the majority of people here are racers, and some just aren't interested in having to read about drifter stuff. The racers aim is to go around the track as quickly as possible. I haven't tried it, but I've heard it said that you can't go as quick when drifting.

This is how I see it: racing is about driving as quick as possible, and drifting is about looking pretty, you know, sort of like the difference between ice speed skating and figure skating.

These threads always attract attention. Why would you post a question if you didn't want attention and answers from people?

And it's really not nice to say "keep quiet" when you get an answer to a question, in anyone's language. Anyone who posts on this forum runs the risk of getting an answer they don't like. If you'd read a bit more you might have found your answer and wouldn't have posted this thread!

Just use the bloody search button and you can read about it for about a week I'd imagine.

This subject has been done to death.

Drifters posting "why does the whole world hate us" doesn't do anything to improve their image.

Hankstar has covered all the necessary points.


For goodness sake, pls lock this thread someone.

Apart from the fact that the question has been asked many times before, and been answered many times before, it's also been very eloquently answered this time again too.

Question asked, answer given, thread closed.
