Thank you for this change of direction. Our previous simulation server had a problem where even simulation players wouldn't want to play on them because they didn't want to drive alone, personally I feel this is a good way of uniting everybody.
I have been here for a long time and had my fair share of trolls independently of server type, and although limiting their speed isn't gonna solve everything because this issue isn't so simple, it certainly will help minimise damage and disencourage them a lot. We achieved such a level that people often said "you only play on EU2 if you can tank damage costs", such conformity was surely doing wonders for the community. Better yet, we have people making money on YouTube while driving recklessly, making everyone think this type of behaviour is funny and/or acceptable. I suggest everyone who hasn't played ATSMP yet to try it out and see what a healthy community looks like, nowadays I spend way more time there but with these changes I might come back for ETS2 too.
As for the "if you wanna play simulation, just play singleplayer" argument, why don't you play singleplayer with g_traffic 0 and no speed limiter so you can fly around every corner at 150 km/h? See how unfair this is?
