First off.. Stock Market.
The fees charged for selling stocks are WAY too high. It feels like its near 60+%. It should be more like 25% at most. It doesn't even feel worth investing in when it takes $100 million to be tied up for however long it takes for the margins to reach selling levels just to earn $1 million. Then again the markets are all on a $3 +- variable so there isn't much to gain without locking up a large fortune. 1 billion would only net 10 million after fees.

Secondly.. Street Racing.
There should be no leaderboard rewards. First off, only high level players that have all the districts to race in can reach top place. This just means the outcome is restricted to only high level players. They not only win more during their races, but then get rewarded for being high level. It really isn't a fair evaluation. Just because they can race 1 or more regions than I can, they somehow get rewarded for it because I have no chance of matching them on the leaderboard. My only suggestion to fix this would be to have individual leaderboards for each amount of races won. 3/3, 6/6, 9/9, etc. If you race lets say 6 races, your ranking would be on the 6/6 board, not the 3/3 or 9/9+ boards. This would make the prize pool feel more balanced than to see all the high level players continually gain 5 million every day while there is 0 chance of earning a prize just because you are not a high enough level enough to open up the other regions.

Thirdly.. Smuggling.
While I have no issues with the basic concept, I am not a fan of the routes being inaccessible because I have not opened the regions. This concept of routes changing every hour is VERY restricting to lower level players and only benefits high level players. It took 4 hours of waiting before the route from the Strip to Downtown was eligible for pets. Then the bad markets making sales weak, all to wait another 3 or more hours to have another go. Meanwhile you can really only make 1/4 of your daily limit. It feels very restrictive. It also doesn't make sense that the taxi can make the trip, I can walk it.. but my pets are forced to stay in their cage. I feel like once you open up a region, there should be no reason you can't do your smuggling between them whenever you want. What is the point of a daily limit if not to reach it. As it is, that is nearly impossible with locked routes.

So to summarize, The stock market fees are excessive and need to be lowered. Street racing needs brackets so everyone in each tier can have a chance to win, not just high level players. Smuggling should be open district to district as long as you have opened them. With a daily limit there is no reason to hinder it.
