Ranked races back to normal

Unfortunately, it seems more than clear that no one is paying attention to those of us that play Ranked. It's basically the only mode I play and 99% of the time it's a miserable experience. The last time I tried to play I wasted 45 minutes trying to find a ranked lobby...never happened. And why on earth is auto return to track enabled? Also this year they somehow managed to make the license mean nothing. I don't know Hao anyone has a license below A, it's beyond easy to get and keep. The penalty/warning system is the worst I can remember over the last 4 years. OSD customization still doesn't work, I assume it never will. Matchmaking is so bad, it's actually insane. 

I'm also convinced that whoever is designing thus game,  as far as things like F1 World, have zero interest in F1. No one with an interest in racing wants F1 World. It's a racing game, why in the world are we watching avatars take selfish in front of a couch? Why are there couches period? 

Maybe change F1 World to F1 Paddock? At least that would make sense.

The UI is so so ridiculous. Why do we have to navigate 15 screens to get to a race? The stickers are a nuisance as are the garage parts. Why can't we turn that annoyance off? 

And like the og poster said, enough with the 3 tracks a week. It'd be a little better if the tracks didn't repeat so often and matched the race that week(would've been smart to draw folks to the game)

Sorry, I just don't understand how you get something this wrong when you've been making this game for how many years? No one asked for sunglasses and coffee tables, ever. The super car addition was dumb enough without rugs and lamps. 

We want to race, not decorate. We want race, not open stickers. We want to race, not sit in a lobby with 5 people that never fills up and empties out before the start, we want to race, not dress an avatar that has nothing to do with the game, we just want to race. Why is that the hardest thing to do in this racing game?

Yeah. Auto return to track is something that never shouldn't bring to the game and this is why. I was playing ranked today at Qatar and first lap there was unfortunate incident on track and one of those who was in that incident got back to the race with auto return to track and waited the perfect moment to crash ALL OF US and of course the result from that race was DNF and that is not the only time when auto return track shows that how bad it is to have in the game like this...

And that thing with decorating and clothes and other things like that what is not F1 related is absolutely useless and if this continues like this you can almost change the game name to F1 SIMS... Even supercars doesn't belong in the game because THIS IS F1 GAME AND NOT SIMS OR ANY OTHER DRIVING GAME!!!! THIS IS F1 AND NOT ANYTHING ELSE!!!! (although sometimes this feels like playing Wreckfest and thats because of players who wants to crash with everyone instead of racing)

It is so boring to drive same tracks over and over and over again like i had today when i was playing couple hours and 4/6 RACES WAS AT QATAR!!!! Can you please change this 😭😭
