Haven't had a good rant in a while so.here it goes. We have a thousand members in our crew. That is a lot of people so you would suppose that finding a good lobby / getting a good race should be easy? Well you would be wrong..... Its common at the moment to be playing for two to three hours at a time and receive no.invites from crew members (aside from the core few who i race with most days) do we.have 950 inactive members ? Even on the rare occasion i do get an invite. most of them are racing crap tracks with CU and SS on. Also if a race is hosted by one of us. We see how many nodo's get the invites. Approx 20 - 30. every time. And we are still stuck in a lobby with 2 of.us and ten randoms .... If anyone agrees / having a similar experience please let me know

I completely agree with this. I constantly want to race in this game, but I'm lucky if I get into one good lobby a day.

Agreed. Although my experience with crew members inviting me isn't as bad. I'd say it's about 50/50 decent lobbies and those with CU/SS. I think most people in NODO joined just because Broughy is a youtuber and they were hoping to play with him, or something like that. I'd like to see how many people in NODO don't even have it active. And considering there are already a few people here on the forums waiting for a spot in the main crew, I think the policy on removing people should be more radical. I don't think it's right to have people on the forums who apparently want to race with us waiting for a spot. And if you want to be a part of the core racing group here, you need to be in the primary crew.

People who are active on the game, in the crew, and on the forums are the ones who should be in the crew. Otherwise this happens, less decent lobbies appear. It kind of brings down how fun racing is because half the time you aren't in a competitive race.

fainterleaf81... enough said. Those of you in the skype chat know what I mean by this already. This guy/girl(not sure) races 1 lap of Cutting Coroners over and over with CU and SS on and defines dirty racing attempting to pit people constantly. Stalks me even though I have blocked him on Xbox Live(apparently blocking someone is useless on GTA) and yet hes taking someone who deserves to be in the crews spot. Unacceptable.

I never race with CU and SS on when I set up races, And when I do set up races nobody ever joins, but then again I am inside the second crew with not many members inside it :/

Maybe some sort of "Roll Call" to identify all the clean-racing, non-CU, non-SS, people???
I also find Traffic=On is annoying/randomizing.

I actually have had good experience, maybe because I choose only to accept people like Mtndew and Twi. On a different note, I put my name in the Skype thread and I was never added, it's "brucewayne24601" if anyone could add me that'd be great, I don't wanna miss out.

Jojoba oil, Pringles and a pair of tights are a great way to spend a Tuesday evening.

As soon as I get my Xbox Live sorted out I should be racing. I have to say I hate it when I get in a race where I have dominated the race and some random slipstreams and gets it right on the line. I'm in the second crew and will probably have my Xbox Live sorted out by Wednesday. Look forward to getting into some proper racing.

Back to the ranting mood, I get really pissed when I'm in a race I lead the entire time, and suddenly a guy in a chrome adder with dollar sign rims (sign of a total jerk) comes up and nails my tail because he had catchup on and slipstreamed me. Spins me out and bam. Second place in a race that should've been mine.

That's almost always a clear giveaway that person is a jerk.

I have some chrome cars, but I realize now that it probably looks awful, so I'll probably change them for more respect amongst crew members (despite not owning a chrome adder).

Xbox 360: TribunaryBump20 Do whatever you want. I don't expect douchiness from crew members in general, no matter what car they drive. I'm just saying, when I see someone with a chrome paint, or in a supercar with lowrider rims with the white stripe, I don't expect them to be good racers. Most of the time they aren't.

I can't speak for anyone else but lately I've been concentrating on grinding missions for money; my character went broke after the last update and what with the rumors concerning the possible "Independance Day" update (more muscle cars, hunter attack helicopter hopefully!) I'm raising some scratch the quickest way I know how. Having said that, I'll make it a point to host or join a playlist at least once per day before I start a mission grind.
