Atleast that's what I feel like it's supposed to do, but right now pretty much everyone just hammers the main line for 30min straight. Something really needs to be done I think, when you can run untouched lines during last lap, then is it really working?

As much as I appreciate the positive feedback from Southwick, watching the EU race nearly had me throwing up. What is supposed to be the roughest race on the US circuit had the fastest lap thrown down on the last lap using the main line. It was a one lined free way rail fest.

Just like in the past though when we built the lines, we had to make the main line rough to make multiple lines and when we'd make the main line rough the hatemail flows in.

It's such a tough spot for us to be in as a series - give the racers what they want (a freeway with one fast line that they can hotlap on everylap) or give them multiple racing lines and a dynamic track that requires line choice and changing lines which creates a larger skill gap and more passing opportunities. Right now, it seems a majority is wanting the one lined highway which makes me sad, but it's partially my job to make them happy. Promise, both aren't possible.

Yeah I can see where you are coming from and that is kind of sad that people are that way. I hoped that erode would get rid of "learn that one line and just hammer it the hole race" kind of riding we had without erode.

What gets me excited about racing is to look for those one off/different lines to setup and make passes, both IRL and in MXS. During 2nd 450 EU moto I ran 80-90% different lines than everyone else and was able to stay with the "main line guys", atleast for first laps and that was so fun (then my lack of playing/level and aged setup kicked in ).

I really appriciate you guys are putting in with the tracks and trying to come up with solid erode settings, just little bit sad that it can't be used to its full potential and what it actually has to offer to make the racing better as ever.
