Why would anyone buy a card for over the price of a rename when - it's not renamable and you can get better stats/whatever colour you want.

I can get a rename of any car and colour done with 825HP + level 63 for $50USD with free shipping anywhere in the world. What makes yours so special and different? That it was legit? At the end of the day no one gives a damn if your car is legit or not. Anyone who thinks otherwise just got butthurt they spent $200+ on a card while everyone else is smart enough to just buy a rename for $20 and go from there. It's the way you handle the game that matters, not whether or not your card is "legit".

If someone told me they'd sell their legit card to me for $50, I'd laugh and tell them to f**k off. Especially an RX8, those cars are so common you can literally find a rename with any stats you want, any rank and any colour you want.

In my area, $10 is too much for a card -.-

I have to explain to people that when renames are made, it costs X amount and selling for anything less than $10 is just ridiculous.

And yeah, ninja would put me off of buying instantly.

I try to be polite, even to vents like you.
But I'm only human, and even I get fed up. Especially by crap like this.

For someone so sharp on criticism and able to read, you missed reading where I mentioned the kid saying he wanted an RX-8. Its 'popularity' that you wish to rage about is irrelevant; sure, he knew about getting them online (or wherever), but he didn't know who to talk to. So he asked the only guy around that he knew -- me.

And lastly, what you do is your business. And mind the language!

@raven111, YOU SIR HAVE TWICE OF MY RESPECTS. SAME WITH GREEN TEA! I'm planning to do the same thing with my cards in the future.

@Exqlusive - YOU SIR, just lost mine.

He's right though, at the end of the day having a legit card doesn't mean anything, nor does it make it more valuable other then of course your own personal sentiment.


A car and whatever stats it may have on it shouldn't be an indicator of skill. renames spoiled that for everyone.


Of course the major upside with renames is the saving of money.

I'm not taking sides, but he has a point.

Renames beat the purpose of the game and that's to tune your car to the max.

I hate renames. Cause people (not all) brag about their cars having so many stars yet they can't show the skill of skilled driver in the game.

Don't play the game if you don't got the cash. Its suppose to be a game that takes your money away. ITS PLACED IN AN ARCADE. DUH.

Well not all of us have the luxury of disposable income.

People who do that are douches that are going to brag regardless of their car's rank.

I think most of the players don't. Including myself.

Sorry but I just see that a legitimate car has a worth somehow than having a renames cloned or whatever. It simply screws up the rankings in stars and coins.

Yeah like I said the value you place upon your card is that of personal sentiment.

Does it look like I give a flying f**k?

Lol, no. I have money. It's just stupid spending on tuning a car if I can get it for so much cheaper. The Philippines have much cheaper games than we do. The average cost for a single game here is $2AUD - 85.2467 PHP. Now think how much a rename can save you. Would you really opt to tune it yourself?

+1

if i had got all my cards legit (i do have a few legit ones) and start from scratch etc, it's looking at close to $200++ a card * 9 = too much to spend imo

not about whether you have the money or not, but rename is just financially the smarter thing to do i reckon, end of the day you're left with a plastic card which sometimes has no resale value because most people dont want a card with someone elses name on it

but having said that, tuning a card legit is interesting and you get to know the car better.

Erm... I'm not gay... but I do not have a gf... how did you not know that?

@RB33: Welcome to the old-timers and coming back out of retirement feeling rusty club!!

@legit cards: Yes, renames are everywhere... everyone has one, including their grandparents... (not insulting anyone in particular, but my sincerest apologies if they have passed away) But the point is, a legit card is very emotional thing, it's not a matter about stars or mileage or class or whatever... It's about your pride and the amount of time you have spent doing that car up...

I admit, that I have fully tuned 2 cars of my own, my E8 and E9... everything else is a rename. This is not because I wanted fame, with class, rank, mileage or stars... It was due to simplicity and logistics of me paying over the odds to tune it... But I admit that whenever I drive renames... I feel detached and I don't really get upset when i lose with them because they are renames for a reason... unless you created that rename from scratch, but my point is... with a legit card; you just seem to get a bond over the item... Most people will buy renames because they want class, stars, mileage, and fame maybe... who knows...

I know it sounds like rubbish, but its like the little toy you always had with you since you were a toddler, and getting attached to that... or the little blankie that you used to have...

I hope that you guys will stop arguing about it, because it will always be a divided opinion... One half will prefer to have legit cards and the other half to prefer renames, for the reasons I have mentioned above...

I played because I got stressed out too much at work...

@RB33 I feel ya bro.

If I were you raven111, I'd just put a card aside instead of selling it...

Agreed to rank and mileage having no importance whatsoever. But that's just from someone who finally realizes that he got too much cards to take care of.

Now let's just get this over with...

Plain and simple solution. Renames are cool if you know someone and you give them the rename.
Put simply I think if namco didn't want renames available they wouldn't allow it, I think they kinda knew that not "as much" people would play if they had to tune a car from scratch everytime.

But I totally disagree with people who buy a card from people online. I don't think that's legal.

Let's say my friend gives me a rename and I use it and everyone knows he's the only legit r32 with 10000 stars. Everytime someone with a legit card and they see your 10000 stars they might say wow
But it not deserved. I guess you can try and get good with a rename but if you just started you will still suck.

Someone good really wouldn't care, . Take this from a guy who has made over 30 cars from scratch, someone who has given over 50 renames.

Even now adays I wouldn't give someone my z31 rename I worked hard to get s4 and I wouldn't want some other guy leaving ghost or starting off were I have stopped. I think that's why they shut down the mileage ranks it makes no sense at this point.

Lol. You can disagree all you want, but I think you just went full retard with that sentence.

Its DX time and i know its bad but its way better than my old record..
DX+ wise i got a 2.51.411 for my c1 outward but i dun have pic for that cuz i thought i can do better than that but i cant
Anyways lifes good for me at MT...how r u guys doing? Been awhile since i log in here

Instruct me in the art of Hakone

About last Sunday, even though I improved in Hakone again, I just can't get used to the Evo 8's short gear ratios :|

Maybe my retired R34 is calling me...

YES PLEASE! ALSO HERE! I need to at least get to the '45 level if the '30's is still beyond me.

I wouldn't care if someone had 60k stars, as long as they can show their skill for it during a battle or ta time... What proves the most is how they perform in the game. Like when meeting the real chun* and devil... I know they aren't renames...

Played yesterday, saw these two mid-twenty year old guys come in and start playing, saw the names were JD★ and SEXY! They started taking my ghost battle crowns, laughing (as if my times were a joke) After about six games from them, SEXY! noticed I wanted to play. I put in my card and the stupid look on his face was priceless. I took the three lines they just took, then, I forgot I shut off "Refusing Challengers" and JD★ raced me. I was going to go with clean racing, until he slammed me into a truck. The whole rest of the night, I raced like Dale Earnhardt. I was smashing them into walls left and right. At one point, I took a turn too sharp, hit the back of a truck, and saw SEXY! was coming up fast, so I threw my car directly in front of him, he hits me pretty hard, pushing me way ahead. He just blurts out, "OH, THAT'S CUTE, THAT'S CUTE" I lost the first race when I got slammed into the truck, then won the next twelve. You could FEEL their ANGER. Which made it all the more hilarious. trololololololololol

...for great justice!

@Imma: my regular times are at 4.45 but duno why i could run a 4.39 at that time..Maybe got too pumped that my friend got a 4.35..Just get to the rhythm and you can run hakone with no prob...use 760hp..last time i used 740hp and i can get anywhere near 39 even in DX.
And so dun use auto. my time is 4.59.xxx when using auto
cuz the unescessary gear shift can lose a lot of speed
lol dont use r34 on hakone its a far harder choice than a e8
might make a test with e8 on hako and see what my time is
