attention - bans for afk racing!

[🅼🅾🆁🅳🅾🆁]

I won the afk race and immediately got banned for 30 years .
He also made movements in the race with the keys.
I wrote to the support of the game and immediately received the solved ticket icon.
Nowhere in the rules does it say that it is impossible to hold afk races .
Be careful in the future and don 't get caught like me .

Really don't understand why people are still grinding afk races. Anyone that's above Prestige 3-ish is just gonna be immediately known as either a hacker and/or someone who puts way too much value in Forza player level, which basically means nothing.

why do we need afk races again?

Isnt this more about unlocking super wheel spins via car mastery than actual level grinding? Also kinda ironic that they would ban afk farmers but not the ones abusing the wheelspin glitch to get infinite legendary cars, ultimately wrecking the ingame economy..

AFK grinding is mainly for XP grinding. Skill point farming is vastly superior for Credits/Cars. What glitch are you referring to?

The only "infinite wheelspin" I know of is one that uses car collections with DLC cars.
There was also one where you would be refunded skill points if you sell or gift away cars, so you could buy a car, buy wheelspins, gift away car, and repeat whole process, but now perks "stick", so you have to actually grind skill points out again to buy more wheelspins.

Ah, thanks! I've done all my skill point grinding manually (Drifting or Near Miss/Speed grinding, or EventLab skill score routes), so wasn't even aware of any glitches. And then using Koenigsegg CC8S (I think that's the car, the 2002 one) for the supers. 2 supers and 1 reg wheelspin for 400K CR and 24 skill points is the best in the game as far as skill point efficiency.

If you get a legendary on a super wheel spin in slot 1 or 2 and there is a common/rare car you already own in slot 3. You can basically collect the legendary and then close the game when the message that you already own the car in slot 3 pops up. Once the game is restarted you can respin the same wheelspin and keep the car.

Edit: By "same wheelspin" i mean it will have the same outcome, legendary in slot 1 or 2 again, and rare/common in slot 2 or 3, just with different cars. So if you had all common/rares in your garage... well..

Ohhhhhh, interesting. I had no idea, lol. Yeah, that needs fixed. As soon as the super is "spun", that should be it, regardless of outcome. As far as banning people who use it, I have no idea how they would actually detect that with the current implementation.

It's hard to say why would devs even bother with banning for AFK racing. If they wanted to prevent it, they could simply make game automatically go into menu if no new inputs are given for x amount of time, just like you get kicked out of MP race for inactivity.

This is the first time I've heard of a ban for afk racing, yeah. So honestly not sure if OP was banned for another reason and they mis-attributed the reason.

The only action I saw taken on afk races was better afk detection during races.

Kinda forgot about this part. Take a look at the most popular afk events, they are designed to give you a 5 x 100`000 skill chain (10 skill points) everytime you finish one highway run. Some have up to 50 laps giving you lots of skillpoints and xp if you let the game run overnight. So i think its fair to say afk grinding and skill point farming are the same thing.

Anyway, why even bother banning people who play afk events instead of, you know.. banning those who upload them?

I've done dozens of them, not AFK as such (by which I mean I didnt put a rubber band on the controller), over the past days and havent been banned, it seems extremely unlikely anyone got banned for doing an Eventlab race that uses game elements, I suspect there might be something else going on here.

Since all those AFK Eventlab races are still available (as of 10 mins ago) and they havent been removed or banned themselves it seems nigh to impossible that a user has been banned for playing them, dont you think?

Yes, i think maybe op got banned for duping too many cars.

I repeat, I gave all the cars from the wheel spins to other people. I have exactly the number of cars for 1 unit
