Brilliant.
stick is normal, majority of eurotrash still learn to drive on a stick

this is just another one of those Americans are weird things and we should correct it

No stick is antiquated and old because we have things called automatic transmissions now. Cars are insanely dangerous and should be as easy to drive as possible.

I don't want to worry about rolling backward into the front bumper of every single other car on the road if I have to stop on a slight incline.

I learned to drive with stick and had a manual for like 10yrs

Advantages:

Faster off the line, if you want to, because you can choose to redline before a gear shift (although some sportscar automatics have a mode that does this as well)

Slightly better gas mileage if you are paying attention and shifting as early as possible

Nowadays no one could steal your car because no one knows how to drive it

Disadvantages:

As cider said, inclines are annoying AF

Stop and go driving is annoying AF

Trying to eat while driving and working a stick is annoying AF

All in all, to me the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. My truck is the ONLY in existence for a mid size that offered a manual and despite knowing how to drive it I still went with automatic

I honestly think its a great test to see if it can a. figure out how to pay the game properly, and b. figure out how to play it well.

It'd be amazing to see an AI that has no knowledge of eq, actually get good at raiding, and playing their class properly in a group. Gearing up. And figuring out how to do that all through just player interaction and experience, like a person would.
