So we are getting the honda for free?m121c wrote:That's kinda flawed thinking don't think? If others/you find it enertaining you shouldn't get money because your having fun? In it jist thats what your saying.
Thats it, call Dungey and the rest of them, no more paychecks. I'm sure the racing will go on right?

Re: 2015 RaceFactory Outdoor Nationals
Tbh I think we should just do away with the whole replica type series. It takes out the fun for the creators and some of the racers including myself. I would prefer if there were more localcross, fantasy, "fun type series".

Re: 2015 RaceFactory Outdoor Nationals
So you're saying Dungey and all them only race for money? If they got no paychecks they would say fuck motocross and never race again huh? Maybe I misunderstood. I'm just saying we all started this for fun. No one ever forced anyone to do anything. Now its been a few years and you're getting burnt out so you bitch about money. Which is okay I understand. Why not be more professional about it though? Maybe I only saw shitty posts. I just think the issue could have been brought out in a much better fashion.

Re: 2015 RaceFactory Outdoor Nationals
Well, race at the pro level, yes. There was just an interview with Dungey where he mentions that, actually. I think it was on MX Nation. Also, look at Ryan Villipotos career. Even money wasn't enough after a while hence his early retirement.MXTYSEN21 wrote:So you're saying Dungey and all them only race for money?

Re: 2015 RaceFactory Outdoor Nationals
Okay, I'd say very few only race for money then. Chad Reed is proof to that. He kept racing because he loves it. He spent money to race. Half the riders out there barely get payed at all I bet. They still race.

Re: 2015 RaceFactory Outdoor Nationals
lets look back at when rF started did wheels/sween start it to make money? i think he started it to bring in some of/the fastest mxsim racers and give players something to push for to be faster and thats what has happen, he started rF for racers to have races every week to enjoy the game not have this turn in to a job,
Re: 2015 RaceFactory Outdoor Nationals
I understand what you mean Tysen but I could see how making tracks every week (exceptions for the couple 1 week offs) gets really time consuming and really old really fast. If you started getting paid for winning races what would that make you want to do? Win more races. So put that example into making tracks, you like making tracks but for doing it for so long it gets old. I like the idea on the track thread about having a donation button on the bottom of the post, $5 here and there will add up by the end of the season and honestly isn't alot but better then nothen.

Re: 2015 RaceFactory Outdoor Nationals
Yeah I can understand it getting old after years of doing it. I would rather have them try putting a donation button on track threads like you said and things like that. Make it extremely noticeable. I looked at a few track threads and there was nothing about donations, I did not look at comments though. I think that would be better then forcing riders to pay. I would pay and I'm sure many others would too, I just wouldn't want it to be that way. As I feel if we get it out there how important donations are we can make the creators and everyone involved happy. Also keeping many more happy, like the racers that wouldn't or couldn't pay to race if it were that way. After all this I'd hope to see more donations come in. I'm going too as soon as I can.

You need to remember, Pro's do this as there job. Yes they picked a career that they love but it is still a job.

Re: 2015 RaceFactory Outdoor Nationals
I think the best bet, if they wanted to charge, would be to have a pay-to-download link. Like Selz.
Set it at a $1.00 download. That's on par with other racing game's DLC. That gets rid of Johnny Hosterpants creating a new series and the demand for a track that's already paid for (if you paid a higher amount to race the whole series). I get that some people will share it amongst themselves, that's just the nature of the beast unfortunately, but I'd like to think the majority of people would be happy to pay the buck for a Top-Quality weekly track.
I know you'll say that's why there's a donate button, but if people can get it for free legitimately, donating is rarely going to cross most of their minds.

Re: 2015 RaceFactory Outdoor Nationals
Either way, whether they want to charge or continue doing it for free, that's completely up to them. I'll happily download the tracks regardless.

Re: 2015 RaceFactory Outdoor Nationals
Even if it's a dollar per track, almost every group will probably do a rotation thing. Where one person pays and hands out the track one week and then someone else the next so on and so forth. rF would be dealing with "piracy" in a way

Re: 2015 RaceFactory Outdoor Nationals
I don't think it really matters, no one at RF has chimed in on them wanting to do it so everyone is freaking out over nothing.
