"Why must it have some massive impact on my personal game before I'm allowed to express my views?"

It's not effecting you one iota, except you're so sad that someone else hasen't "earned" it by themselves, so poor you, you're having serious issues over it. Get over it.

Even if I had 20 million creds I wouldn't buy those cars? Reason? Because they're not worth it. I'd rather have 20 1 million cred cars.

Ok, ignoring all the guys above and in past pages talking about the gifting part of the update (it won't take effect for a little while now anyway so i'll worry about it then) i'll finally respond, as promised, to a comment written by my good buddy Raybrig.

 As per your advice Raybrig, i went to Daytona and took a look at the shadows, they still look blocky and still seem to flicker, i'm currently watching a remote B-Spec race in the NASCARs, one thing i will note though is the cars themselves, i remember the first NASCAR event i raced in, i wasn't impressed by the cars, they looked cartoony and lacked any sort of depth.

 Now, the paintwork seems crisper and as though it has extra dimension about it, it might be that i'm just looking at it in more detail since Raybrig has started banging on about it but it does seem better and the effect when the cars are being viewed through the fencing does look a lot more solid then it did.

Can't GIFT cars over 1million credits?,,, WOW, thats brutal Mr Kaz, so basically the only real kind of market we had going - is now gone.

So now that the trading aspect of the game is pretty much nerfed, what are people going to be sticking around for when they get all the races done and reach level 40 on A & B Spec?

But there was really no "trading aspect to the game" in the first place.

Are you taking the correct dose of meds there buddy?, or perhaps you need more?, either way there WAS a trading aspect to the game regardless of how YOU personally seen it,, you did notice the HUGE thread titled Swap Shop?

Yes thats right a swap shop, what could that mean?, besides the literal translation of the title it was CARS that were actually swapped which created a good community within GT5 besides the racing/drifting etc.

My mistake, I was unaware that the Swap Shop thread on here was created by Polyphony Digital as part of the game. It obviously didn't make it into the manual. 

I retract my comment made in the very next sentence of my post that was so helpfully snipped, about trading arising from an unintended usage of the gifting system, as it appears it was obviously the intended use all along.

Yeah the shadows still suck, but its the cars look fricking awesome, good to get a bit of acknowledgement for mentioning this and not still bloody moaning 24pages in about a GIFTING system.

I'm currently watching a remote B-Spec race around Trial Mountain and i think i can put my fingure on what the difference is, it's the lighting, it seems more realistic somehow, it's not a big change but it's enough to be noticed if you really look for it.

 Good catch with the apparent graphic update though Raybrig.

Something needs to be done about this feature. ( Or now lack of it  ) now.  I really do think that the dev's will look at someway to find a happy medium around this.

Yeah, i agree, i cant see PD letting this run the way it is, they know how important the trading feature is to people and im guessing it will only be a simple matter of time before they resolve it and all is well again.

If anything PD will improve the game features more than anything, so maybe this is a side step in better things to come.

Again,, are you getting your meds?,

Polyphony Digital obviously didnt set up the "Swap Shop" thread on this forum as that was done by US gamers FOR us gamers, you know that since there is a TRADE feature that people will obviously set up trading threads, if it was NOT ment to be used that way or because we were "Unintentionally" using it that way, then im guessing that the "Swap Shop" thread would have been deleted by the moderators.

I can only recommend some ritalin and 8 hours watching Seseme Street non-stop for you buddy.

For me the worst thing PD have done in 1.07 is remove the tyres a car is usig from it's PP calculations. To me that's just bizarre.

Tyres are the single biggest factor in terms of determining or improving your cars performance. Go and do 10 laps of any circuit with any car on Sports Hard tyres then go and put racing soft tyres on the same car and do another 10 laps of the same circuit and you'll be easily 5 seconds a lap faster, No other single improvement you make to the car will have anywhere near that kind effect on your car's performance.

So as I said, to remove tyres from the PP calculation is just a bizarre decision to me.
