Jamesy:
Sorry, what arguments that have had any value in the discussion of this subject have you made?
All you and others have done is try to discredit people by calling them names & trying to make them look stupid. Your a disgrace to iRacing & simming as a whole.
Speaking as a subscriber, I dont like this development really, it not as expensive as many expected for one race but as I already pay alot why the hell should I pay more to host a occasional customized race with some friends. We go back to rfactor quite a bit right now with the endurance series which is on par with iRacing we feel. It would have cost us $60+ in the last few weeks in iRacing for that!

Well, I talked about this being an addition to the present service, about the focus of iRacing, and about how the price scheme has affected the general experience in what I believe to be a positive way.

I talk back in the same tone that it’s used to address me. I could do that again with you, but I see you’re particularly sensitive about it.

If you can still enjoy yourself with some friends with another game, what is the problem? It’s not like anyone is forcing you to pay. Hosted iRacing will be a new option and as with all options, you can take it or leave it.

What’s you user name in iRacing? Just to say hi! if we come across.

You are Aladdin?

Nah, you’re not that hard to read… And you’re on pretty much every forum like me, so I think I have a clear picture by now.

No and definitely no. Check your water supply, I think you have an infection somewhere.

It all rice & peas man, chill

wvu_sam: s running on 5 nights per week, all with structured seasons and championships, all running different mods. It’s an very eclectic mix. One night a week I would categorize as informal. I guess we’re the exception.
Personally I have not tried iRacing because of the extra fees for tracks and cars. If it was limited to the monthly fee I might give it a try. I don’t like the p

If you don’t play at iRacing then you support the piracy.
You think he is some kind of elite to spend U$S500in a GAME?
iRacing sets a price for private leagues only because it is a BUSINESS and that’s ok but for that reason those who don’t play iRacing not going to be pirates, bad guys, etc.

No and definitely no. Check your water supply, I think you have an infestation somewhere.

WOW,
Thats a bit strong.
Are you saying if you cant afford or wont pay the amount iRacing charge, your a cheapskate possibly without morals (as far as copywrite goes) and/or a theif?
I hope thats not what you mean because that really would be a perfect closing argument in the prosecution of ‘the eliteist mentalitiy of SOME iRacing subscribers’

Wow… That’s stretching things a bit. Pass the pipe!

You seem to have some low self esteem issue. If I say it may look expensive to some, you don’t need to feel insulted. As when I don’t when you suggest that subscribers have this or that mentality, see?

Take care,

So what?? I put my home server in LFS, rfactor, whatever, I race with my friends how much I want with zero lag and I pay 0 (ZERO, read well…)This make no sense either? Wake up..

Again about money….

carbonfibre:
This is a fantastic result!
Not only for the shear amount of comments posted over 1 day, but they are also long-winded and very detailed as well.
I’m looking forward to reading all these intellectually entertaining arguments over a cup of tea later on, cheers!

and maybe you’ll post something actually wise and relative to the topic..

They cant make money with this, we pay subscriptions and content. And we pay a lot. I think there is more reasonable prices, but no, $3 and shut up. That’s a lot of money per race in my eyes, sorry.

In my opinion the hosted racing system should be free. They charge for it only to influence how and what people will race. But still, $150 divided between 30 people isn’t much, and for a year’s worth of league racing it’s a very small sum.

jux:

Then it’s just a different definition of the word “league”. If I understood correctly, I would say that you run 5 leagues, each running once a week.

We call them series, like NASCAR is a league running a number of different series (Cup, Nationwide, Trucks, regional series), etc….

It’s all semantics, but we do all work together to develop each series, share the web server, race server, and other resources. It really is a single league the way it’s managed.

Its nice saying its designed for 1 race a week league races, like some say the SR is like the money you have to pay when someone crashes into your car, and so on. Why cant we be reasonable?

I’m waiting for the day we need to buy virtual time on track, tires and virtual fuel. (don’t get mad I’m only joking )

jux:

Exploitation is probably the word you’re looking for. The system is designed for leagues that run once per week, and for them the pricing is very reasonable. Besides, saying that anything in this world comes for free is just bullshit. Running a league takes time and effort and some financial investment no matter how you’re doing it.
