I do that. And so does the mrs.

They care about showing off their PSN ID's level to their friends (even though it all is fake and boosted). What a waste of time!
Well, they are doing their best to destroy the credibility of this game and de-motivating me from creating ANYTHING else! My new Rally track is down to 3 STARS simply because those boosting POS morons are downvoting EVERYTHING. Look at the top rated creations now, they're a fraking joke, seriously, if we want to keep this community together in the long run then one of the key things we HAVE to do is eliminate this D4D garbage as soon as we see it.
See a bunch of oval tracks by the same creator? 1 Star the lot of them! Only by doing this can we ensure that good content remains where it deserves to be and the garbage ends up in the trash can where it bloody well belongs.
This is a call to arms, it only takes a second to downvote something, so, if it's boosted, give these jokers EXACTLY what they deserve!
I'm beginning to understand why Ivo Yaridovich quit this game. Ungrateful people do not deserve nice stuff!. Here fraking here and so say we all!
.......................I............Yeah i can't say anything anymore. Oh Yeah. Ratings mean squat. Really, if you have haters be grateful. You are now big enough to warrent them.

So, the facts about that player that's screwed top rated tracks:
- ID in the Portuguese language
- Download numbers that can only be achieved with 2 PS3s
- Dubious quality of tracks, mods and karts
- A single track with lots of races but download numbers equal to the other tracks (probably using that track to boost victories on the main and secondary accounts by putting it to 1 lap against a dummy account and winning all the time)
- Hate against good creators and the ones that don't like boosting activities
Who fits the bill? Who gets insane number of victories on its main and secondary accounts without even playing the game as much anymore?
I may be wrong, but IMO it's someone that I thought was a friend but backstabbed me. By backstabbing I mean knowingly cheating on my wife's track to get to the top on HL, cheating the track on HL with many accounts, and hosting the track on casual rooms just to cheat and boost victories (resulting in lower rating of the track). This all showed how little this person cares about friendship, and how low this person can go just to get some empty xps. Throwing away a two years friendship for xps? Really? This person gotta be really proud of those Xp points.

I too am completely fed up with the negative side of this game .. played warp gate earlier and someone obviously 1 starred it so the rating dropped .. now i dont normally get bothered by this crap but this is the straw that broke the camels back.. so much downvoting and just general spite around . ive seen quality work/ profiles of friends ect. raped for no obvious reason except jealously and .. no other word for it but spite .. anyway im completely done with creating on this game, i have 1 track in progress with al then thats it, no more cat creations.. now i ask the haters this .. im only 1 creator to say enough is enough and decide to call it a day in the creation station but how many can u afford to lose in a game that now more than ever needs people who put time and passion in only to only to get their effort kicked back in their face? tell u what , plz do us all a favor and dont get lbpk eh , it'll be a better game and community without you .. now to finish on a positive, thnx to all who have supprted my stuff, ive recieved many kind and encouraging msgs and i genuinely appreciate it .. over and out ..lbc
Unfortunately cat this is EXACTLY how I feel now too. I'll probably make a few rally tracks here and there but I am DONE sinking 40+ hours into creating tracks that'll get barely 100 downloads, everything I make gets downvoted early on these days so I'm not gonna waste my time anymore with highly detailed creations. 
If you really do want to play my tracks I have almost 100 available that I'm sure will more than satisfy the urges. Cheers to all those who've supported me over the last couple of years, I know who you are and I thank you for it.

I wish that were true parise, but In the context of tracks it means A LOT, those that are highly rated will be on the first few pages and will get continuous downloads from randomers looking for "the best" the game has to offer.
Case in point, 2 tracks (by the same creator) that have been up there on page 1 forever, "Curse Of Skull Island" and "777 Highway", both decidedly average tracks IMHO yet they've somehow managed to maintain their high rating, COSI has got over 1000 downloads because it's always been in that position! It's had no hotlap coverage and it's not a great track (barely more than auto-populated) but it has a cool thumbnail image (that you don't even see in the race) and that attracts the randomers looking for tracks. Meanwhile, many of the 'great' tracks by renowned creators end up getting downvoted sooner or later and disappearing into the void.
It's a stupid system that's totally broken but hell, what's the point complaining now, the game is on it's last legs and I need to find a new creative outlet.

This whole thread makes me laugh. Everyone complains about their tracks having barely over 100 dl's now. 1) You are already lvl 30 and with how much XP you have right now (Ex: ath) you should probably be around lvl >9000. 2) You will say "I don't care about XP, this is not what this is about" and I know, but I just want to bring that up. What really matters is that the people that are trying to keep the game alive are downloading your tracks. You should not complain about haters not downloading your tracks as it is known that they don't and that's been known for quite a while now. You should complain if people trying to keep the game alive don't dl your tracks and you also should complain slightly when boosters do too. Ex: I am mad that my friend's track that was made on my profile (he doesn't have the game and has no experience playing) which is a giant oval has 50+ dl's while most of my others are busting their **** just to get 30 or 40.
To you all, seeing crap get 1000 dl's is crazy because you all used to have that power and now you don't. It's actually kind of fun to see this to me, as it at least shows that there are still quite a few people playing this ****. This whole thread better have been made just to laugh at because I am ****** ***** off and ready to leave this game if threads like this contiue to be made and grow.
Mark left this **** for a reason. THIS GAME IS DEAD K? GET OVER IT.
