My response was not specially to your post, Lunar
It was more for people complaining about barrel rolls, because when they try to reach top ranks on tt, they can't (because off course of those *?#!* BR !).
Franckly, it's easy to play wipeout without doing any BR, you can even beat elite AI without, and have lot of fun doing races or tournaments ! So, what's the problem ? IMO, people compares to others on the ranking table (the problem comes from that !) and they'd loves being on top, but *?#!* BR prevents them to reach that goal !
To resume what i mean, if you don't want to compete on the rankings and just have fun, there's no reason to complains about br because YOU CAN PLAY WITHOUT !!
You can even be competitive without (wowo did his phantom tt race on moa reverse without any br ).
