Since we can assume that all three forms of currency are staying, even though there are WAY TOO MANY forms of them for an online Free-2-Start game, here's a BIG POST on how to fix Multip(l)ayer mode.

Rewards:
Both Regulated and Ranked should give you rewards on a regular basis. But with incentive to play both modes.

The Rewards for Ranked stay the same. You rank up, you get a bundle that consists of Multiplayer Tokens, regular Tokens, and some kind of upgrade for the character you used.

The Reward for Regulated should just be Tokens. Every 150 points grants you a small random amount of regular Tokens, like between 10 to 30 Tokens. This rate is no different than the 16 Tokens you earn from the Starter Circuit when you are playing with Mickey to unlock all the other modes. Every 1000 points grants you the same regular Tokens as a reward, but also a small amount of Multiplayer Tokens as well. It won't be as much as what is offered in Ranked, so definitely the max would be 30 Multiplayer Tokens.

Reasoning For This Suggestion:
Neither mode is very rewarding as it is in their current state. With Ranked, you have to be really good to get anywhere, which hinders players of lower skill levels and casual players. With Regulated, once you reach the maximum of points allotted, you have to wait a week before you can get more Tokens.

This suggestion solves the problem for people who don't care about Rank and for those Rank players who are stalled out by giving them something to play that still rewards them, even if only by half as much as compared to the other mode. Yes, that means they will also have to BUY the items that are available for free for Ranked Mode, but that exists already with things like The Daily Specials in the store and the class-based Limited Events.

Additionally, Ranked players still get the upgrade parts and shards faster than those who play Regulated, as those items won't be rewarded in that mode! Those players would have to buy them with the Tokens

I personally think that shards should be given in regulated as well. Not everyone who enjoys playing video games has the time or skill to get through ranked. Making it impossible to level up their characters to even star 2 to unlock their special. This also cause the game for casual or non-skilled players, yes including myself 😂, to fall even further behind since those good at video games playing ranked have an advantage by getting to use their specials in the race. Honestly, the whole shard system needs a rework if they don't want this to end up being a pay to win, but that's for a different suggestion spot. 😆

But you can buy shards in the store, albeit with some HEAVY RNG being involved in both the Universal Box and when you can buy shards directly. And most of the shards that have been available for purchase are enough to unlock their special.
