If you take away peoples laming rides, they whine and piss and moan and quit and go play something else.
People say "Go to the DA!" or "Go to the AVA!" the problem is, the DA is a cesspool half the time... it's like if the Lord of the Flies community was left to its own devices for 40 years and you then happen upon it.
The AVA is a ghost town.
Then you have Early War and Mid-War... Early war is for 2 kinds of people:
1. People trying to game and/or pad scores
2. Weirdos
Mid-War is for 3 kinds of people:
1. People trying to game and/or pad scores
2. Weirdos
3. People who want to fly in the MA but the MA is down
So in the end, everyone comes back to the MA because that's where all the people are.
And everyone can be all like:
About the Bronie hordes, and the Hair-dryers, and the mudwraslin GV drivers with the Electrolarynx 18-pack-a-day drunkin ranged spam, and the spam on 200 that simultaneously saps both the soul and ones overall cognitive reasoning abilities...
But in the end, nothing major is going to change... your only options are:
Denial- Just up from another base, try the aforementioned weirdo arenas, maybe switch squads or countries... try shading for awhile
Anger- Start a goat rodeo on General (go ahead and check that box in this case) in an attempt to fire up your base in a grass roots movement to get things changed.
Bargaining- Come up with a well-reasoned treatise and present it on the wishlist where it will be violently savaged. If you can get HiTech to comment, you get extra points. (If you can get HiTech to send you a cease and desist PM, it's like a hidden achievement)
Depression(This one is kind of a fork, but they each lead to the same place)
Option A: Become an absolute trainwreck... embarrass yourself, destroy your reputation, get chatbanned in game. A forum PNG is the "boss-level fight" for this option.
Option B: Become sullen and withdrawn. Continue to squeak about things, but only passive-aggressively. Become absurdly good at Aces, especially in one specific ride. Be so good in that ride that even though everyone knows you're a butt-hole, they only actualy
say "Man, he's an awesome 38 driver!" (or whatever plane... as long as it's a 38 or something German... MAYBE a P-47, but only if you're especially butt-holish)
Option C: Go play something else. Once you start having retarded dreams about dropping torpedos on a task force and surviving, that's your cue that it's time to come back.
Acceptance- Stop caring, play the game, and violently savage posts by those in the Anger/Bargaining phases.
- Make big plans to create a map for the MA. Download all the stuff for it. Realize exactly what you've gotten yourself into. Stop.
- Possibly consider becoming a CM. Read a few PMs that CMs are treated to. Reconsider.
- Drink more, fly early/midwar rides in the MA.
