@EA_Groguet hey, so I have a suggestion, based on a recent blackpantha (biggest NFS youtuber) video in which he explained that he didn't care about racing and didn't want to race (there are lots of players like him), linked with timestamp [
https://youtu.be/9RuZXcqOFLI?si=RSl5tzrk-Jmp3eV0&t=199].
I STRONGLY disagree with his views, he never wants to race, and I am the opposite, I do want to race, both in freeroam and in PVP, How about possibly having an option for a "Casual Server" for people like blackpantha who have no interest in racing? This server type would have the races removed, so the people in it are free to do linkups, cop chases, cruises etc, then the regular server type is left to people who actually want to race (you can see people in the video sending out race invites), whether it be to unlock cars, or to do drift races or gauntlets etc. This would group the non-racers together and group the racers together, helping alleviate the issue of people having all their playlist invites rejected. With the servers as they are now, we have the racers and the anti-racers grouped together and it's negative for both parties, especially the racers. In this hypothetical scenario a player would choose between the standard and the casual server the same way they would choose between freeroam and PVP.
The developers seem to think that implementing PvP means nobody wants to race in freeroam anymore which just isn't the case. If they were to implement this idea, they could also extend the time between linkups in the regular server, and leave the 15 minute linkups in the casual server, since linkups take away from the racing.
