Jiminy crickets!
I like this game, I really do. Aviation, history, graphics, it's a blast.
But it never ceases to absolutely amaze how seriously some take this GAME, and worse yet themselves. I thought Morpheous said it well,
"Jesus, what does it really matter?
Is this about who is right and who is wrong?
Who gives a watermelon really?

The game can be frustrating at times. Because someone is down about a game he used to love and probably still does and says something that might not make complete sense to you.... you feel the need to rip him apart before he leaves?
Get real... Most of all, get a life.
Sniper, this is just my two cents..... you know you like to fly and shoot people, or you wouldn't have taken the time to learn this game. If you're just burned out, as I get myself from time to time that's one thing. But do not let those who seem to get some kind of thrill from making others feel bad have any part of that decision. Unfortunately, it's those who are loud and or rude that the game is sometimes judged by, internet tough guys who for some reason have not yet reached emotional maturity, actually believe that their virtual flying ability matters, or are just plain mean. The quiet ones just go on playing and having fun. I used to get sucked into it myself, pretty badly, back in the AW days. I finally learned to ignore anyone who would impede on my fun. Therefore, despite the fact that many seem to live to do just that, not to me in particular but to anyone they can, it has no efffect. If I do sense myself starting feel anything negative, I just squelch them, instantly. Problem solved. Just know that it's your $15, and no one can interfere with your enjoyment of this game unless you let them.
I hope you hang around.
Now, those who feel so inclined, flame away.
