Since I am definitely tired of people purposely ruining the race and making you lose rating points, knowing that there is no system to permanently ban people from the servers, I feel forced from now on to publish videos of these people who do certain maneuvers, so that the whole community knows who to avoid when racing. These people need to understand that they cannot do whatever they want and not have consequences, continuing to ruin the ingame experience of others. I would also like for Reiza to decide to make it so that when there is a situation where you are rear-ended, you do not see a reduction in rating, unlike those who rear-end, who deserve much worse, especially those who make heavily unsportsmanlike maneuvers.
Here's the thing; Public lobbies, ostensibly, can be considered a, "Casual" environment, to use that ranking sorta terminology. They're environments that're prone to abuse and silly antics, but as far as I care that's something that shouldn't be stamped out so actively. If someone boots up the game, gets bored, crashes out and quits, they may take someone out with them; Why should they suffer some greater consequence when the servers are all wide open? Public lobbies should be an unrestrictive place [generally] that allow for players to experience the game in full. No one should boot up a public lobby concerned about, "Am I going to be recorded and have my name made into a pariah?" They may just be having a bad day, they may not care, they may be an obnoxious twit IRL, who knows? It's not on us to witch-hunt people because they're douches during a public race. That's the host's problem, not the community's. That being said: Some kicking/banning functionality may be somewhat in order, as I've yet to find the controls for such things if they exist.
People who think swerving is defending. Hola hej, so frustrating. Or the divers who think they can leap from afar, lol.. or the guy that cuts whole the last chicane of Donington.
Brake-Testers then become the new challenge, fun. Sometimes riders in a place go so terribly illogically slow that rear-ending is inevitable. I think the most just thing is that both racers are punished, because there is no jury.
Honestly, at this point of development, I wouldn't worry to much about your online ranking as it's pretty much pointless ATM....nothing more than " mine is higher than yours" From my handful of MP races in this title, I wouldn't waste your time joining ranked servers. Try to find a league to race in. 98% of the open servers I've looked at usually have assists on, damage, fuel, tire wear off, 100% track grip....arcade settings....which usually results in the same arcade driving style. Hopefully, when Reiza update MP and have ranked servers....if they do. They will have rookie servers where you can graduate to Pro servers based on your MP ranking.....and the servers are monitored by admins to help eliminate/ban the wreckers.
Until recently my rating never moved... So they are tinkering with it or something in the latest patches did something that made mine work... Could of even been a reinstall on my end... I agree completely with Kurupt CDN... Don't waste your time trying to treat AMS2 like iRacing or something where ratings matter... Because the ratings are absolutely worthless with a p2p code... Until the MP experience is better treat EVERY race as a casual event... Due to the warps and bad predictions of the p2p code you can't always blame the other drivers anyway... The lack of seriousness of other drivers comes directly from the lack of seriousness within the MP experience... If you make it through T1 in a public lobby in AMS2 than you should buy a lottery ticket that day as your luck is up... If you still care about raising your rating... It's simple... Never join public lobbies that are ranked...Go to leagues for more serious racing where your ranking will be... There's something about having their voice over Discord which makes the average driver care more as well as league's having rules and the ability to ban you if you are a crasher...
As Saxo says then this is more or less impossible to get the game itself to destinguish between offender and offer. To the best of my knowledge iRacing is the only game who somewhat have solved this problem. But their solution demands reporting such an idiot and then get a human steward to assess and intervene if the offense is obvious. You got to live with it - or concentrate on offline racing
