I'm going to point out one situation that is really starting to get out of hand lately. That situation is the fact that everything apparently has to be exactly like the real manufacturers like B&M, Arrow, Intamin, Mack, Gravity, you name it. The coasters in Nolimits HAVE to be like the group that made them. I'm pretty sure most of us who create coasters are tired of dealing with the fact that, lets just say for example: Your drop isn't like B&M, use referencing like Behemoth, Leviathan, Diamondback, and the other B&M Coasters around the world. Or maybe the shaping on the drop is poor, the inversion is poor.
I've been making Roller Coasters since 2010ish, maybe 2009. It's something I want to do for a living now, and continue doing. I'm almost about to QUIT doing it, because everyone is so needy to make sure it makes exact specifications to the ride manufacturer. Even if you say, it's a Fantasy coaster, or it's your own ride manufacturer (Appalachian Coasters Inc. for me, or Gravityflyers from Nick/Gravityflyer) (Although he doesn't get it much to none at all.)
It's a topic I'm putting out here. I'm tired of having to make sure a ride that I made reaches exact specifications from B&M, or Mack, or Intamin, or Arrow... I love making Roller Coasters, but you guys keep pushing us to make sure it's just like how a manufacturer would make it, even when we aren't doing a manufacture coaster. When we are doing our own thing in the coaster world. Ever since NL2, it's gotten REALLY bad. Maybe we want our drop to be over 90 degrees on a B&M. Or maybe the hill is suppose to be a little bit misshaped, it happens to the best of us. We love the coasters that we make. Not what B&M, or Arrow... (Well I should stop there, of course we love the real coasters) but I mean, we love the coasters that we come up with, with our own mind. Not what other guys made.
The reason the title says free opinions, is because you are entitled to your own opinion, and NO one should judge you, or start a big fight over it. I'm expressing my feelings about the fact that everyone wants the rides to be like the real rides, in the real world. But you know, this is a Virtual world, where anything (almost) is possible!
