HT, how about the Perk Alternative?

1. I didn't belive the Perk would be a strong enough force.
2. It effects lesser pilots more then better pilots.


And also the current system is choosen. It will not be removed until we have a good idea how well it works. It can not be evalutated over days or even weeks.

So I would apreciate all the whines and counter slams to be droped. What I would be intrested in is small modifications needed to ENY values or the settings of when and how it kicks in.

Several questions...

Why is this even necessary?

Why doesn't the three country model work?

Why do we now institute something deliberately designed to encourage country switching and numbers balancing when one of the major objectives of the game play model is arena reset and associated perks.  (which is usually only possible with superior numbers)

Finally.... why do paying customers have to come to the BBS to sort thru large numbers of posts to find out about major issues and impending changes?  Did AH HTC suddenly lose our email addresses.... mailing addresses.... the ability to put a pop survey on arena entrance?  

I know they can sure put up a notice about the coming CON.... or find my billing address with no problems.  But when they want to work thru arena issues or inform people of impending changes... suddenly I have to spend several hours researching things.

Lastly, why does everyone have to just quietly accept what ever method or "fix" is foisted upon them and be good little team players and try and make a certain selected fix work?  If the product smells bad they shouldn't be helping find the right aftershave.. they should call a skunk a skunk.

i think this should be put in BUT

reset the perks of everplayer in the game

only way it could work to full effect

I have always thought this should happen each camp.  Reseting the perks each camp   should work out to something of a volentary(sp) rolling planset.  That is to say later planes would come out as tour progresses with a bunch burned up in the last days before they are lost to monthly tour rotation.

I have always favored a rolling plane set.....

Perks required for every plane......

etc.  

The counter argument was it favored better pilots or pilots with more time to fly and it would limit the rides or fun of other flyers.

Then we come out with a measure that limits the rides available to players to fix a problem that the three country model is quite capable of handling if the flyers would just use the model.
