Multi Theft Auto Discussion / Re: Rant About Vanilla 2024 Meta and why racing died

I agree with some points and not with others.
For example maps longer than 3 or at the very max 3.5 minutes are just boring - doesn't matter who the mapper is or what the map is - there are maybe 5 maps that are 10 minutes long and are actually enjoyable and those are just classics. Also it's fine to have them come once in a while but when every second map is 4 or more minutes it just bores most players.
About the objects I'm 50/50 - if done right they can indeed be good for the experience but if done bad just for the sake of there being custom put objects then the whole map can go to shit.
And about using different vehicles - while I do kind of understand your point of getting annoyed by the same vehicles all the time I also don't see how putting a go cart, rhino or some truck is a good idea for racing. They're slow, huge, not very maneuverable and just not made for racing. There's a reason racing movies and games etc are with mostly the same type of cars - you won't see a family sedan in Fast & Furious or Need For Speed for example but you'd always see a tuner or muscle car
Personally I stopped playing actively because I got fed up with the game itself, not with any particular thing like vanilla maps or alpha maps etc - after all I'd been playing only or mainly MTA from 2014-2015 until 2021-2022 - now I just prefer to watch series, go out to concerts and just do other things
