It's not fun any more!

Fun? This is supposed to be fun? I vaguely remember this game being fun back when I started playing in 2015. Since then there have been many changes, some good, some not so much. While I still like the game and will continue to play for a while longer, mostly I find it boring and tedious. There are just a few more goals I would like to accomplish. Here I list some of my opinions:

1) pay to win. Or more specifically, In app purchases. I have mixed feelings about this. As a free to play game, without spending any money, I would have stopped playing a long time ago. Too much tedium for little or no gain, bla, bla, bla. I also feel the developers should make a reasonable profit for their work. Naturally there is nothing reasonable about any of the prices of any of the available purchases in this game. This leads me to much anger and dissatisfaction. And lots of unfun. I have spent most of 2017 being incredibly angry and disappointed with Firemonkeys. Now I realize the real problem may be EA. It seems that things similar to most of the things that really suck in this game are being applied to other EA releases from other developers, and causing some problems. Yessss!

2) No real reason changes? What happened to takedowns? Takedowns were one of the truly fun aspects of this game. Now what you get is difficult cop cars and idiot opponents. Not hard to win, just boring.

Why the change from underground to campaign? No other changes, just a name change. Politically  correct?

The black market. Originally the black market was fairly affordable and somewhat useful. Then at some point it changed and became ridiculously over priced and effectively  useless. With the most recent change it has become really cool, maybe even useful, but still way over priced.

Blackridge Rivals. I appreciate the idea behind rivals. I do believe rivals is a slight improvement over tournaments. But that is only because tournaments really really sucked. Rivals still really sucks. I find it interesting the developers essentially have to offer bribes (blueprints) to get most people to participate. I know I wouldn't run rivals otherwise. Nothing else worthwhile to offer.

3) goals. I only have a few goals for this game. I imagine most people playing have similar goals, but I  don't know. The first goal is to have fun. I don't really see that as a possibility for the immediate future. Maybe in a future update? Some things are getting better. The next goal is to get all cars upgraded as much as possible. Getting fairly close with that. Goal 3 is closely related to goal 2. I would like to get to a point where all I have to do is upgrade NEW cars and run the dailies. Essentially that is all the time I want to spend on this or any other one game. Then I could decide if I want to continue playing. The racing should be good, but at this point it is depressing, mind-numbing and tedious.
