Help: Stuck and can't progress without paying $$$
Sorry for the rant, and I am open to suggestions as this is an ask for help as well as a vent. Unless I am missing something, I am at a point in this game where it is required to spend IRL money to progress.
I enjoyed playing this game up until now. I have spent countless hours playing this game and racing the same races HUNDREDS of times to get BPs (I literally have over 200 springs from the Porsche Carrera BP race). Add on to that watching literally 100's of ads only to progress to the point in the game where YOU MUST spend real money to continue further. Over my time playing this game it became obvious that it is rigged to be a currency sink but I toughed it out and continued to earn BPs and in game money and gold so I could eventually progress.
I currently have a STAGE 8 Porsche 911 Carrera with all stage 5 parts at 760 PR. To upgrade the parts I need legendary materials. I can get legendary materials from Tuner Trials only if I have a viper. I can ONLY get a viper if I complete Chapter 14. I can only complete chapter 14 if I have a PR higher than 762. (you see the circle there and how conveniently it comes out that I lack the required PR?)
So, I must BUY (with real money) vip points to unlock the ABILITY to SPEND GOLD on legendary parts on the black market so I can progress.
Someone here posted a suggestion to win the BMW M5 From the special event and that would help. I spent almost 400 gold to win just the car and that did unlock the STOCK car and a BP race in Chapter 14. However, The race rewards for that BP race are rigged so that you hardly ever get a chance at a BP for it. Its taking forever to even upgrade the M5 to just stage 4.
I refuse to reward developers that extort real money from me to continue to play the game only to rig it so that later in the game I need to spend more real money.
I'm posting this in case anyone else is in the same situation I am in and as a warning.
