You say it like the freeloaders are the plague of free2play games. Like "you have no right of enjoyment if you don't pay" or like if you pay you are technically superior to those who don't pay. Just because you have a kickass car/weapon/item/etc. you can only get with real money, that doesn't make you God. While the "all freeloaders are hackers" argument can and should be taken as close to the truth in NFS World, the apex of the hacking spree was in 2012, when the game was far beyond the pay2win range - Even EA said that at that point in time it was literally impossible to win the Veyron without spending money. Not only that, E class was the only class that had even grounds of competition due to all cars in that class being IGC. The MR2 ruled D, C and B with an iron fist, and even with a Solstice at hand you'd only beat an MR2 if their driver really sucked. Same could be said about M3 GTS vs GT2 997. S class was pretty much a no-brainer that you needed real money to win. Getting the GT3 RS 4.0 did help even out the competition, but even then, it still fell 20-30 OA points short of the Cinques, Ageras and F1s. And then I ask you: With that much bias towards paying, and with most freeloaders not willing to spend their precious cash on a badly-managed game whose managers only cared about money, not player enjoyment, what other choice did we have?
Nowadays, the game is much fairer, but back in my time, if you were an IGC player, the only way to compete against a SpeedBoost user without being a SpeedBoost user yourself was to cheat. There was no other way. You would get random wins from mistakes and from noob drivers, but if someone in a MR2 or F1 was even mildly skilled the freeloaders would stand no chance unless they were hacking. It was the law of NFS World.
