I'm annoyed because I play need for speed world. They completely abandoned NFS:W since 2013 and it kept going strong even after that but the thing is that in 2 years there has been nothing new added to the game that anyone would want to buy. The freaking Bugatti Veyron which cost a couple hundred dollars to get and hundreds of hours is now common enough that you can meet 2 of them in a single day. Also the game wasn't even that bad they just abandoned it. There have been no new cars no new events items or anything. The only major flaw the game had was the ridiculously bad balance in the D C and B class but in A and S class the game is actually pretty fair even if you only buy IGC cars. Really if you compare it say something like Planetside 2 NFS:W isn't even that P2W.

Also what the hell will I play now I don't know a single game that is similar to need for speed world and it's one of the only 2 games I play right now.

NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 had amazing multiplayer and yet they've invested 0 time in fixing bugs or adding new content. I mean, I never had as much fun in any other racing game online. NFS Rivals is just a bland shadow of it for example. I went playing it few months ago and there were still tons of ppl playing it!

+1 on "but the thing is that in 2 years there has been nothing new added to the game that anyone would want to buy"

It's sad too see them waste so much potential because the game was built on the map and engine of Carbon. It would have taken them maybe a couple months to ad the tuning system, autosculpt system, drift and canyon events and more vinyls. Hell they could have made some of the autosculpt stuff cost speed boost. They should have added more vinyls that were for speed boost made more cars available with IGC(especially the OP bullshit cars like the MR2) or cycled the cars faster.

They even could have added cop vs driver (aka pvp) :respect:

But no lets just keep the cash grab going and then kill the game :banghead:

That would have instantly dragged me back to game ! :toast:

Oh and there goes my skyline I paid for nice ea :shadedshu:
