It is time to raise Gauntlet Issues too

I'm banned from discord since like 2020 I think so I can't really raise my complaint there. This complaint though was more of a 'hissy fit's or frustration of these kinds of players (so my wordings are not quite clear). Firstly, when the gauntlet was introduced, my cars were under ranked but within Div 4 and so I specifically strategized my car rank based on their performance to best my competitors but ever since 'EVO' was introduced, all of the players like me who did that are FUCKED because we can't exceed certain rank cap that requires us to EVO some cars (for me, it is SF90 (rank 4395 but I can't exceed 4370) and Chiron. There were other cars too that had EVO opportunities like ZR1, Senna GTR and Centenario but I couldn't Gold MAX because I was too busy with my irl work (college and latter part being in internship and part-time job). Look, I don't practice in private lobbies as I used to before so I am a little rusty on my skills too (but not too far off) but it is quite hard to keep up or beat some of the times because of the clear acceleration advantage these EVO cars have. I tried to avoid such players by getting in lobbies after some days have passed after the gauntlet starts (sometimes Sunday or Monday) but that makes me lose so many credits and G coins. I can't really sweat my way in the gauntlet as I have a job and I am completely aware I can't win every gauntlet...but if I am losing to some players, I'd want to lose on fair grounds at least. I think this is my second post about this Gauntlet issue? (Idk, might have posted it through other acc). EVO ig is bad because not everyone has it and the ones who do have complete advantage so I basically avoid using it in Gauntlet (unless that opponent is using one too). So if the community can raise Multiplayers issues and other issues like clubs like SE, bugs etc., these changes need to be addressed as well. Let me know if you face such issues (I will try to raise the complaint again through a different account)

Guys, do you not see a huge problem in this update!?

Most of these cars were already available in recent months, and ofc they will be divided according to divisions. These cars aren't even as useful as the current pool (in terms of both SE and MP). Some of them are available in normal packs ffs. Idk how anyone could be happy about it other than newer players who just started out playing. Plus they are cutting down the already nerfed tokens that were somewhat sorted out by the gauntlet along with the removal of keys. This update is parallel to that of recent GTA online where they nerfed the shit out of rewards and inflated the price of cars. You do know that cutting down those tokens will cause you big problems in future events right?

They are basically creating scarcity of tokens so you won't be able to invest into higher A-class or S-class cars while providing you with mediocre rewards that you already have (for most veteran and older players). If you guys don't protest against this, this will bite you in the long run. Only Absolut, Nevera and Divo are somewhat worthy of cars to invest but even those would be maxed out fairly soon (or are already maxed out) and you would be a sitting duck until the next cycle. Not to mention the "balance" they are gonna do for players to get fu*ked in the ass.

Please think about it, this is the worst update implemented by gameloft so far that people are looking past because of the magic word "Jesko Absolut"

(Repost) Rate the Eyesoreness from the scale of 1-10

4* Agera RS (not fully upgraded), 93% sensitivity, try to ignore my fuckass of a start and end. Note: sensitivity sort of behaves differently based on FPS (at least what I have observed). Usually 70-80% is recommended for this much FPS because it is harder to control the slower the frames move throughout the gameplay

I don't know where to begin..

Asphalt 9 suddenly feels a worse form of Gacha game at this point. I have been playing this game since launch and it felt generous 'til the point of LP crap that was introduced in 2021 (I don't remember tbh). I don't want to stretch the discussion much longer than it needs to be but over the years,the upgrade costs along with credits availability getting reduced every six months to 1 year at this point is making it harder to go for any new cars.

The only reason people stress over the new cars and its upgrades each season is because they are mostly needed in future events. This doesn't seem fun now at all. Sure cars like Venom, Absolut, Jesko, and Chiron make the gameplay fun but unlocking them is getting harder and so much time consuming that it just doesn't seem so worth it.

A perfect example is gauntlet and its division configurations. Many people got screwed over because they upgraded one or two cars way more than others and got placed with people higher than their league. Sure they tried to fix it by increasing all lower divisions' threshold by 1k but it kinda became useless by other features (EVO). Me being one of them as I was literally on the Div 4 threshold with good cars at feasible ranks (almost all around 4400) but now with EVO, this upgrade configuration became useless as people who grinded high level cars like (Nevera TA and other SH cars) and kept low ranked cars like Vanda, 9x8 upgrades on hold and performance deficit cars like centenario,ZR1,Senna GTR and even SF90 (although it is great) getting EVO benefited the highest. Now if someone who is a little low level than me or similar people will get future benefits of Gauntlet races because whenever I enter Gauntlet in initial 4 days of Gauntlet, I get matched up against people with said configurations which reduces my chances of ending up in TOP 1-3 which offers me more tokens.

Club Clash (although it gave lower tokens) at least tested my skills and also kept the fun without having me stress over each day playing 5 players with 5 races each (if I get matched up against alien or a really really good player, then I have to practice in private lobbies in order to keep somewhat of a shot in position of TOP 2 or higher). Not to mention, I have to remind myself to turn off EVO of Lykan in order to not end up in DIV 5 (which is so much worse).

I don't have any other EVO car except this one so I am feeling the shorter end of the stick but others who don't even have that are having much..much worse in DIV 4. With the new MP system, matchmaking is so rigid that people are mostly playing EVO cars or closely performant cars in the hopes of ending up in a higher position. This is the same as the Vanda problem we were facing for years except it continues in higher leagues too. With rewards getting locked behind paywall and game environment getting worse and worse with every six months at this rate, there is literally no point keeping up with this bullshit. On top of that, the other "rewarding" events like Spotlight and DS are getting worse too so there is literally no point why we are playing this.. we went from getting multiple bread slices to crying for bread crumbs, it's just so insane I don't even know how to put it properly in words.

This is overall a really bad year I am facing because of other bad factors along with this game getting worse each season. Also this F1 season is just sad to watch because of regulations that I am losing motive in both this game and that sport. Now I am starting to understand why many youtubers left the game..
