As far as exposure goes, I dont think very many in here are concerned with having a tarnished reputation in this game. Some probably even go out of their way just to get a rise out of folks. That is their game.
If I was trying to take a base, and saw others around me going 1/2az, just trying to vulch and running when I was on my second goon attempt, Id have no remorse for returning with a bunch of eggs and cratering the ends of the runway doing my own vulching.
Usually I just go for the town now since it stays down longest, and makes the trip more worthwhile. But...there are nights I just feel like doing whatever. Im not here to provide fun for other players, unless its making a mission or something. As far as gameplay, as our "beloved" EA once said.."if its in the game, its in the game."
