I think you misread, AA has NO priority compare to others.

You're right, job allocation doesn't include AA into consideration. We knew this since the first day of introduction of AA through countless real-time bookings. Maybe they proposed this in the table meeting but never put it into engineering, but advertised it anyway. The nearest driver job allocation are based on same direction/on route pup distance and not radius. Their system used to calculate radius distance only but later upgraded to on route, to reduce far pup from opposite lane that need to make a far u-turn.

You're right, basically a rubbish collector. AA is just to fool new drivers into completing jobs that was skipped/cancelled, which are probably bad, lead you into jam and not profitable at all.

It was there long time ago, but it doesn't remind you everytime you use MD

Not sure but I think booster is not considered incentives, MD will not get previously HG/trips completed incentives but maybe you're still entitled to time booster

Time booster is determined by past traffic info, mean it does not based on any live, or forecasted traffic. The best hour to drive now is right after the traffic jam hour, as you get time booster from the past slow traffic collected by grab and there is no more jam anymore. If you drive right when a traffic jam start you merely sending those slow traffic info to grab and you work for nothing.

Time booster without live and forecasted traffic condition will never be perfect. Just don't complete jobs with stupid fare, grab will figure out what is wrong and improve periodically.

They can't, because grab app was developed on basic function and adding needed features 1 by 1, just like a game without anticheat you can hack it without restrictions. That's why modded app which can ignore unlimited jobs but maintain 100% AR can be around for so long. A good programmer will make everything server side to be tracable, this is not what grab doing, or all those cheaters will get banned in no time.

My city Sibu have only below 10 drivers available today, most of the time 1-2 drivers in entire city. Pings coming nonstop but low fare with bad jam anywhere (no TBB) and far pick up. How stupid can grab be, if I was the grab CEO I will just make it NO AR requirement NO CR requirement for special time like this. It is better than locking all your drivers and restrict them with AR/CR. It is your job to make us accept a job readonably, not forcing us to accept a job.

Why are their technical team so incompetent to detect those cheaters and give them permanent ban? All jobs should be interesting, with the right pricing and allocation to the right driver. It is Grab's fault if providing a job "not interesting" at all, ask their own staff, would they give up their salary paycheck to drive on the road on their own system? Best if on their AA all the way and see how long he can survive. I think very few to none of their staff will enjoy driving even part time, except using their knowledge to game the system.

Ok I don't need it to be enjoyable, but at least not frustrating? Grab is good, they give you customers and listen to your complaints. For me, I enjoy doing all RM4 trips as long as it get completed within 15 minutes. But they can also give you RM4 trip that need 30-60 minutes to complete during busy hours, where is the TBB promised? Is this acceptable? Is there return of money as you mentioned? I complained to grab and they replied with "elevated to relevant department and will reply in 5 days" but no news/reply/action taken after 10 days even. FYI I drive 8-12 hours a day, 10-30 trips everyday, RM 100-200 gross everyday.

No problem, if given to any driver in Sibu everyone will drool for that, can even give you discount. People here are low paid and desperate. There are many drivers in Sibu who would drive empty car to airport and wait for customer there for hours, back and forth = 50km for RM30 trip.
