While I agree that the side change rule should be around 2-3 hours max, I also agree that there has been a substantial amount of complaining on the BBs. This game is ran a lot like the USA, because there are so many people who want one thing or a other, it makes it difficult to make major changes without disrupting another group of players view points. Change one thing and one group complains, change it again and another group complains. It's almost impossible to make a huge group of people who play the game differently all happy at once.
This game is not for everyone. And at a 15$ per month fee, that scares a lot of people away from the get go. But say there were 20,000 people who played this game. There would be a tremendous amount of complaints about hoarding and blah blah.
I think what people have a hard time grasping is that there are so many different ways and styles to to play this game that it tends to make others unhappy. For me it is when bombers kill FHrs at a furball and there is no attempt to take the base. However, this is a war simulator and bombing is part of the game. Taking bases is part of the game. Shutting down the enemy HQ is part of the game and strategy.
Personally I think the way this game is made is great. I've been playing for over 8-9 years and even though I think I'm pretty good, I always have a challenge when I jump into a furball. Sometimes you get ganged, sometimes you get 8 kills. Its always a challenge.
Personally, and I'm sorry if this offends some of you, but I don't think you are good enough to complain. I think most of you still need a couple of years before you can really grasp how to play right in this game and get kills every sortie. If you are complaining about HOing or running or F3 mode or the way people fly then you still have much to learn.Having said that, I still get mad when I put 60 bullets in a plane and they don't die.
When I first started they had H2H and it was free. That's what really attracted me to learn this game and meet some new players. I'd give anything for HTC to bring H2H back.
My biggest issue has been that 2 free weeks just isn't long enough for people to figure out this huge and complicated game. That is why only maybe 3 in 10 Will stick to the game after the trial is over.
I think there has been an over whelming amount of complaints. But when people cannot learn how to do something they complain. Instead of trying to be better they complain. You try one thing and another group complains.
Here's some advice. Ask players who are better than you to fly In their planes. Go to the DA and get your prettythang kicked 1v1. Ask good players to help you with ACM tricks. Or better yet, just wallow in the fact that you probably won't live every sortie and like I always do, go for as many kills as you can every single time. I had a 4 k\d last tour ranked 6th fighter and died 75% -80% of my sorties. Now I hate dying, but damn if I didn't have 4 or 5 kills to go down with.
