Dogsta-
I have no beef with you, and sorry if this has offended you, or anyone else other than to whom it was directed. This was brought out in the open by others, and I felt it was therefore put forth for debate.
Some have sided one way, some on the other. No biggie. But it seems that anyone who complains about anything is a whiner. Well, if whining helps identify and stop cheating, so be it.
Maybe we're splitting hairs here. These guys don't want to see it as cheating (though I cannot fathom their justification). I do. Worse, they seem to take glee from upsetting others in the process. I don't care how anyone has fun, until that fun comes at my expense. Then I would like to have some control over how I get the shaft applied. If I had been there and I knew they were conducting one of their "tests" I would steer clear of the base. The originator of this thread obviously wasn't afforded that luxury, and now he's the whiner. You have it backwards.
Within the rebuttal one of these guys comments that they had been fighting for the base for some time... that sounds pretty intense to me. Imagine how the defenders felt when they were getting whacked by a basically invisible foe (and remember, no tracer fire comes from the gunner!). Suspension of disbelief destroyed, adolescent chuckling on the open channel.
What do
you think this sim needs? I think it needs people, and if you run the people out because it becomes painfully obvious there is no way to get a fair shake, it isn't going to be much fun. For now I plan to shell out the money to play... OTOH if I have to wade through the aforementioned behaviors it won't be for long.
