Question for people hosting races.

[HarveyBest]

Why do 95%+ of all races have traffic ON? Seems to me that having traffic ON introduces a big slice of luck and takes away from your skill. I can understand why people enjoy the traffic ON option, it does create some enjoyable mayhem, I just don't see why virtually nobody is interested in the traffic OFF option.

Because with traffic on, it requires more observation and skill since you have to dodge incoming cars, aswell as move around cars.

easier for crews to block and trade wins, which is about all i see now in public races.

Then host your own race?? Why do people complain about things they have total control over?

[ZakeBudek]

I bet most of them don't realize there are options. I like traffic for quick races or freeways, but long distance or laps races generally suck with traffic. Nobody hosts a real race anymore anyway, it's all "MEGA RP LIKE MY RACE IM A TOOL" races that are waaaay too long for any RP benefit and has a stupid ramp in the middle somewhere. Use all the checkpoints, and keep it at just over 4 minutes, easy enough, but noooo, "SUBSCRIBE ON UTUBE JOIN MY CREW WE TEAR IT UP AND DONT FORGET TO THUMBS UP FOR MEGA RP."

If i see a few racers with fully modded cars I like to put traffic on and rain on because I know with 90% certainty that these people are noobs that traded wins and won't be able to handle more difficult driving conditions.

Traffic isn't good or bad, it's just another way to play a race. Traffic adds another dynamic in that you have to drive around it, replacing the skill of keeping a perfect racing line with doing the best you can around traffic.

This. Also a racer/driver knows there are multiple racing lines to take. Some faster than others.Turning traffic on forces you to assess the situation ahead and find the fastest line available.
