QUOTE (EdwardHeartsU @ 1 hour, 10 minutes ago)
Australian Tuning Service

Let's do the maths.

$100 card on tues/thurs with bonus credit = $200

Each game is $2, but with bonus that's $1

60 story races = $60

2x credit for Banacard = $4 (last I knew it was $6, I'm assuming it's dropped with everything else?)

Thus, $56 profit per car.

The next question is how long it'd take to get though all of story mode, bearing in mind that the loading times and time between games are actually annoyingly long (what I wouldn't give to replace the cockpit's hard drive with an M.2 NVME SSD).

Let's give him a best-case scenario where it's 5min/level.

5*60 = 300min = 5 hrs

$56/5 = $11.20/hr

He'd be better off working at maccas.

Full marks for trying to make money out of his ~~addiction~~ hobby, though.

EDIT: Forgot about discards. Call it $76 profit, making it $15.20/hr.

Aforementioned person is a friend of mine and has played MT for quite a long time. You may see him play from time to time as 110 or BabyW.

I've seen him at CA several times, think I raced against him last time I was there. Seemed like a good enough bloke.

EDIT: Speaking of, I plan to head in to CA tomorrow, aiming to be around form about 10 til 1.

Indeed. Don't think you've came to play for a long time though.

I still dont get the concept of paying someone else to play your game for you

I don't like playing story mode because it's boring and it takes time. I had to do extremely risky TA lines to keep me from going to sleep.

@Venom
Got my MT5 fix last monday haha, tuned an evo9 in one day, took a few crowns with it and had a few battles with wrx and stavingo.
If i were u i'd pay someone to tune your rx8 considering it took a few months to tune the r34 and also it's a guaranteed yellow meter if it's wrx or edward tuning it. I was gonna pay kenzz to tune my evo9 but then he ceebs'd it so i had to do it myself

0km renames existed ohmy.gif what even

Being paid to play a game you like; totally worth it

Then again, for me I find story mode quite boring especially when tuning (Stories 21-60)

Thats because TE37s in 3 don't look as lame as the ones in 4 onwards.

Hell all wheels look really lame since WMMT4. So tiny.
