TC, i think it's more than the arena. We have to admit that modern culture itself emphasizes selfishness over teamwork. Those who believe the Duty Honor Country philosophy are even more of a minority than ever.
That's why squads -- and squad work -- are important. Not only do you get peers to fly with, but if you choose well you'll get a group of people that believe in the same approach you do.
Simaril,
I was not saying the arena was at fault, or anything of the like. I was saying the way people look at or treat each other in the arena on the same country is not what it used to be and the --> get this --->"QUAKE" or "NUKE EM 3D" mentality has crept it's way into the MA and other arenas in AH.......and is why we have what we have! a community that once was a type that did not score potato, gang 5 on 1, jump in to pick off someone's bandit after that someone has worked hard to gain the angles, always offered to clear a friendlys 6, or was there for the Team ( meaning country )
with the influx of what ever you might want to call them, degenerates that have no respect of another person or the other persons enjoyment in a flight simulation combat game, degenerates that sit and spawn camp for a sheer delight of thinking they look good when landing 50 kills in a GV or 20 kills in a hurri 1 or other crap........ all the blantant masked vulgarity or abbreviated curse words, or sex organs etc........certian groups that whine and cry about what is not fair yet have their certian friends mute others or ban others from talking for extended periods of time as they see fit, yet let their mates get off with out a word spoken.........crap like this needs to be looked at and remedied! If not then more people will leave and just more unraised glorified "GAMERS" of the worst kind will fill their place and make the AH community in game and on these boards even worse than it is now........
We all have seen it, In Game, On the AH BBs, yet either some don't care, or they flame instead of bringing a good discussion up about it, or they get fed up and leave.......it is time to straighten up and clean house, reprimand the ones that are out of line or get out of line.........thing is most can spurt off the names/handles/game ids of the worst offenders and have to stop for a breathe or 2 before they finish the list....
So tell me, where do you think this AH community should lead, to a more brighter, respectable, place to gather and associate interest in WW2 affairs and aircraft or turn it into another "freaky teenager type" blastem up game with all the ill effects of blurting out obsceneties on the txt buffer in game ( channel does not matter , happens on every channel ) letting discussions of off topic items of sex, religion, drugs, etc....roll withut interuption
maybe I slipped off the edge here a WEE BIT, but I am not far here from the actual truth of the way things seem to be turning......
and really it is up to the players to decide what is and isn't appropriate in the game and on the boards ( really HTC is the one with the power ) but the players can police ( use this word lightly) to a degree and fix some of the things wrong......
As for explaining to me about squads and teamwork etc......I understand that and know all about it, I am going into my 11th year of flying flight sims online, I also understand that the lack of calling down people when they step beyond the boundry is somewhat low, you do see people calling others on their choice of words or discussions etc..but you see it seldomly.....
sorry for getting off topic in Savage's thread.........
Savage, see ya when you get ya a new stick....die hards never die, they just pause for a recharge!
