When will people understand that lowering the speed limit won't solve anything? :p

E x a c t l y. I repeat myself: no one wants to drive on an empty map, especially by the speed limit. I don't want to drive by the speed limit, but at the same time I'm driving as cautious as possible. Some people said above and I'm 100% with them: why do we have to separate the community in "simulation" and "arcade"? 9 out of 10 people would say it was A LOT better before those "changes". Harsher punishments? Lmao, as long as you keep the same punishment system and those "permanent bans" for reckless driving and so on AT THE ADMIN'S DISCRETION, you're not going to solve anything. This mod was a lot better before they banned save editing. And I wasn't complaining then, as many other people. I heard your argument with "The Crew players" a googolplex times, and I'm tired of it from the second person who said that. For now, the arcade servers and even the second simulation server are completely useless, and TMP's Staff should close them tbh. If they're not listening to the community, they're not going anywhere good. Remember, WE'RE PLAYING THEIR MOD, NOT THEM. I don't think it's a wise thing to please 5 people out of 100. Also, one more thing. If you want the so called "simulation experience", uninstall TMP Launcher, get some mods and play singleplayer. I don't get it why you're playing TMP for the simulation, when the only fun things are to drive on C-D / overpopulated areas and doing convoys with your friends / VTCs. If you name it "simulation" driving on empty roads, it's your choice to play "simulation" on empty roads. You're never going to see a simulation multiplayer game, either if it's called TMP, IFMP or HGVMP. I thought the main reason people are playing multiplayer games is to play the game with other people and have fun with them, not to play alone.

There is no fun when you're forced to drive by someone's style. You can't cut someone's hair when you only cut grass in your entire life. And I don't see the "players who enjoy a more simulation like experience" on this community. Only people who can't understand there is no fun driving at legal speeds on an almost empty map. It's their mod, yes. But they don't listen to the community. And then they're asking why people are leaving TMP for other communities.

I couldn't have said it better.

B r u h, they're going from bad to worse since they started to implement those radical changes without even asking the community. Remember this survey?

So you're just telling us that it's COMPLETELY OK to be kicked for no proper reason. And that means you can get punished anytime just because a game moderator wants to punish somebody for no reason. It doesn't matter if it's a kick or a ban. IT'S A PUNISHMENT. WITH NO ACTUAL REASON.

And same goes for the people who wanted the speed limit to be even lower than before. Just sayin'.

@TheCreepyTruckr Your argument is the same like "go and play Forza if you want speed". I know, you know and EVERYONE KNOWS that no one is going to drive on the arcade servers without collisions. Only the "simulator based" part of the community likes the changes, because they were driving low speed anyway. But for the rest of us, TMP Staff literally destroyed and threw to the trash can the last thing this community had. FUN. Now is just a boring mod with only a few ok staff members. The rest are just doing nothing, complaining about how hard their work is and saying every time they have the opportunity that IFMP is just a hoax and that it will never get released. Instead of complaining about how hard your work is, and even less to care about the development of another community, you could just do your work fine. But nooo, some players are waiting even 1 month for their web report to get solved. THAT'S AWFUL. Let's not talk about the in-game reports. In almost 2 years of driving on C-D, only 1 in-game report got solved. Also, after this update, I've seen only a few people getting banned or kicked on C-D, even if now it's even a bigger chaos than before, only because the players are unpleased, not because of the speed limit. Personally, I've been driving at the max speed whenever I had the occasion to do so, but never got reported by someone. Yeah, sure, there are still players that think they're in DIRT 4 and driving off-road, or just losing the control of their truck because of the speed they're driving, but they should also know they're limits, so yeah, that's entirely their fault. But you can't say "If I ruined your game that's perfectly fine by me, god knows it's only a matter of time before I would have recorded and reported you anyways". That's just selfish. Extremely selfish. And not just this quote. Your entire reply is selfish, and I can see that you care only about your gameplay, and you want the good only for you, but not for the others. If there were 100 people driving at max speed, and then you appeared, driving by the speed limit, it would be good to force all those players to drive by your style, right? Try to think about the others' gameplay, not only about yours. If the GAME let you do drive over the speed limit, then it's completely ok! But not the right thing is to force 95% of the community (or even more than that) to drive by a speed limit only because "tHiS iS a SiMuLaTiOn GaMe, AnD tMp Is A sImUlAtIoN bAsEd CoMmUnItY". Again, all those decisions made by the staff were completely savage and selfish, without even asking the community, because you know what the results would have been if they did that before the update. The only group of people that likes this "update" is the TMP Staff that are kissing those who came up with these ideas in the arse to not get demoted or something, and the "Iron Knights of TMP" that is you. No wonder why the most TMP players are hoping for IFMP and HGVMP to get released, but then comes you, saying that IFMP is a hoax and that will never get released only because they didn't showed any proof that is a real thing. Let me put your sight in a different point of view. This is like religion right now. I don't have proof that it exists, you don't have proof that it doesn't. But we can still think what we want individually, right? Plus, why would they spend so much time and money on the forum, website and servers development only to be a completely hoax? Why would anyone want to screw up their image for this? I can tell you why. THERE'S NO CURRENT REASON TO DO THAT. Is just TMP's "opinion" to defame IFMP, because me, you AND they know that TMP is going to lose a big part of their community if IFMP gets released. Best Regards tho.

@FernandoCR [ESP] tbh I've seen only 2 people getting banned while in-game (ON C-D), and maybe 3 other players getting kicked after this update. I don't know if they're doing their job properly when you still can't get through Duisburg Service's entrance because someone can't get a turn with a SINGLE TRAILER, and then 100 people are going to stay in a jam only because ONE game moderator won't kick him, even if everyone knows that area is most of the time a traffic jam. And now triples are banned. w0w. Wise choice. If they know they cannot do their job because "there are too many reports", then they can just leave the staff team and let other players join it that can really help to solve at least some of the chaos on the C-D road. In almost 2 years of driving on the same road, only ONE report got solved in front of my eyes. ONE REPORT IN 2 YEARS. That's not the way things should happen on a community like TMP. Or at least how they pretend to be, because, tbh, I've lost all of my hope when they've banned local mods only because one player abused it. Again, wise choice. Where were the game moderators when my friend got rammed while being on the edge of the road? Well, guess right. THEY WEREN'T THERE. But when he "blocked on purpose THE ENTIRE ROAD (when he was overturned on only a half of a LANE), they've banned him for 3 days and NOT the rammer, even if he got reported too. He was AFK 2 minutes, and in 2 minutes he got banned. Good job, TMP! One more time you've shown your "true potential", lol. There are still people that are getting their website reports solved in one month, so TMP still didn't solved nothing. Why? Because they're too incompetent to push a decent set of rules and select the most active and loyal players to be a game moderator. They could have reworked the punishment system already! But nooo... instead of that they have banned local mods, triple trailers and set global speed limit to 110km/h outside the cities and 60km/h in cities (maybe the only good thing they have done in a while, even if 80km/h was already a good choice). I still have some respect for some of the staff members, for example BL4CK$K1LL. But there's no need to talk about this, am I right? And last but not least, I've said this a hundred times already: if you want simulation, DON'T PLAY MP, EITHER IF IT'S TMP, IFMP OR HGVMP. If you want simulation, get some mods, launch singleplayer and you're good to go! You can't tell us to play Forza, NFS etc. etc. only because we want to drive with max speed, if you're still playing on TMP and still want some simulation (also, I've never seen any simulation game with the roads empty ). That doesn't make sense! Especially if you're forcing an already-speedy-community to drive from no limit to 150km/h to 110km/h. And don't tell me that there are arcade servers. THEY'RE USELESS. If it has no collisions, then the game is worthless imo. As an extra, there are still players on TMP only because they have NO OTHER CHOICE. Personally, I don't like to drive only with AI, it becomes boring if you're not the simulation-type player, and not only for me! The biggest hopes are in IFMP, and that KIKI will do a better job than any other TMP's executives. Best Regards.

When you said that "more of the community wants a simulation focused service", you wanted to say the staff and those "TMP knights" that are going to eat every miserable update TMP does without even asking the community or without doing a poll? This is a simulation game, yes, but we're not driving on MP for the simulation, but for the fun. If you want simulation, get yourself some mods and play singleplayer; simple as that. And after all of those, it's not the best thing to just make the servers "close to simulation" when the previous limit was 150km/h, and 95% of the players, if not even more of that were, driving at max speed. So just stop saying that we shall play GTA or Forza when you're driving on TMP, lmao =))))))))))))

That will still not solve the problem. Trolls are still buying ETS2, and so they could get Going East for a cheap price.
