People are just childish online

Recommended Posts

First two, and online races on PC.

Tried an un-ranked race, got a clean good start. Someone lagging EVERYWHERE. got down a straight, swerved all the way to the left and wiped me out. To be expected. It's un-ranked for crying out loud.

So I decided to try ranked, as there may be intelligent people in here. Qualified 3rd out of 14. Got a clean start (Bahrian) into T1 and a clean exit, avoided an accident, no contact at all, kept my 3rd place.
Guy comes up alongside me by just 1 inch, turns into me and sends me off the track wiping out my car and other people. Lovely and fair. No penalty for him, yet I suffer.

What is the point? Firstly, sort the connectivity issues out so people can actually fairly race if they choose to. Secondly, the ranking system and license are pointless clearly. Barely anyone is online on PC so there's no one to race, and 80% of the people who are, play demolition derby. May as well spend the time on other parts of the game because it's never got better since the earlier games.

I don't quite see how anyone can increase their racing license score given those circumstances anyway - I'm pretty vented right now.

Unfortunately, this is how online works, but there are people in this forum who see these types of actions as normal. It's disgusting to have dirty pilots in the online. I have run in GTSport and of course all the dirty pilots have come to F1 2018. The solution is Codemasters but for now that is not a priority. Patience friend.

I love when someone gets angry at you because you made a relatively clean move but they felt it was dirty and so they decide to be incredibly dirty toward you in turn.

In my case it's not like you say since I never touch another car, I never repeat, in that sense I do not make mistakes, even lately I do not qualify to come out last because I know that dirty drivers always leave many cars out of the race in the first round.

Why I stick to career mode now - I've had people message me crazy things going all mad due to accidental collisions - people take things too seriously.

I play Career Mode most of the time. I only want to play Online at an official Online Racing League, in organised Tournaments, with other "known" Drivers / Racers who are competitive, but fair.
