Are you saying the people here are not a fair sample set of the whole? Maybe your right, maybe not. I don't see any evidence either way.

In the past there were polls on login if I remember right. I don't think folks were saying that polls should be exclusive to this board. Rather, it would be a good idea to conduct polls to ascertain the opinions of the populace. Whether or not to share the results would of course be up to the taker of the polls either way.

I don't know if its the idea that it wouldn't be a fair sample (while I'd bet money it wouldn't, you're quite right that it's not easily proven either way), or that gameplay for all would be determined by the whims of the masses as they frantically log in, as opposed to the people we pay to play this game, and whose livelihood is determined by the decision making processes and their effects on gameplay.

Plus, you're all dweebs, and I don't want you voting for anything that might effect me.

Yeah, that's a great idea but it's those few that post here who are more than likely playing the game constantly. You might as well cater to them, since they would be the only ones that communicate with the developers. If everyone else doesn't like it, then that's just fine. Point them in the direction of the message boards, or (politely) ask them to stop whining about it. The only thing I don't like about the current system is that I feel that the developers are taking shots in the dark about what we (the players) want out of the game. Stop guessing and ask us!

Just a few thoughts from the average joe,

the way it looks to me, HT doesn't value our opinions on how to make the game better.. it's his game, we're just the idiots that pay $15 a month for it. I don't know about you guys but same old thing day after day is getting old to me. when you look at it it's the same old game with a bunch of eye candy and a few new rides. I miss the good old days of fighter ace on msn internet gaming zone..

LOL...Fighter Ace>

And you think the MA is repetitive?

But I think you are right about them not valueing our judgement on how to make the game better. I don't value thier judgment on how to raise my kids, but you don;t see them coming down here and trying to give me such advice either.

See Dale and Doug have been designing and building online flight sims for quite some time now, at least since 1994 and probably long before then. For my $14.95/month I cannot think of any more qualified hands to leave the direction of this game in than theirs. I am not a fanboi or sychophant, I have not always agreed with thier choices either. But when I have over a decade of experience doing what they do and a customer base WELL into 4 digits I'm just gonna have to trust them to do what's right. That has worked so far, AH is clearly the gold standard among MMOL flight sims and it has been since it was beta with 6 planes and one arena.
