I have been playing for almost a year and have never had a 'troll result' of course iv lost but its down to tactics etc!!

Remember tankers are viruses!!
Let me put this in another scenario.

We are in a race that has 26 check points. You can take a free ride (free public transport /a bus if that applies), or you can buy a car with very good Specs, and tires for all seasons/ roads. On a freeway, a bus is probably slower, but its free. A Range Rover Sport would most probably go faster, but you have to spend on the Vehicle, maintain it, change the tires. But since this is a race, I’d like to go faster, hence I’m fine to spend a little.

Now, for troll results, I do drive properly, using the best config, tires for the season and road, but as fast as my vehicle could go, occasionally I’d get all 4 flat tires (I ain't blaming anyone, but the bus doesn't seem to have much flats, and if they do, hey it’s a free ride). During that time, the bus would probably overtake me for that check point. And on some occasion, the buses seem to be able to maneuver over rough terrain/ snow despite not having the proper equipment, tyres and stuff and win that stretch.

Now, for this season, somehow I’ve had so many flats, that I feel that there is no point dragging my flat tires to the finish line. I see a chance to fine tune my vehicle, to get it ready for the next race. After all, even if I do manage to cross the finish line, the prize as compared to the amount spent on the flat tires and parts is far from sufficient, might as well get “free upgrades” along the way, fine tuning my vehicle while waiting for the next race.

I too have been playing close to a year , and I don’t see that as ruining the game, I see that as keeping the good stuff that I already have, fine tuning them so they behave better next season. Everyone has their own style of playing, some are overachievers, some just want some fun. I've invested my part of tokens, and want to achieve something here. The game engine might not be perfect, but I try to adapt and workaround it. As you play longer, getting into your 20th-30th seasons, you might notice a lot are having Legendary players. If you play for fun, no harm losing to them. But I, would like to be one of them, with legendary players, and I believe it starts with tanking (and power training).
