Reason for playing and paying gone.
« on: September 29, 2006, 02:06:24 PM »
The main reason for playing the game was FRIENDSHIP, friendship of the people in our squad and finding someone to fly with and against.

Now with all these arenas the numbers are so low durning any time other then prime time that 3 players can take a base after base.

My squad is broken apart because we were large enough to need three squads to hold all the names. Now we can find each other without going to each arena and scanning the whole roster in each arena.

So I was wrong, it is the death of large squads. With the death of large squads so goes being able to take base durning prime playing times. Oh sure non-peak times a small numbers will take base.

Some are no doubt cheering about this, the lone wolf type, the cherry pickers.

While the game was without doubt some 1Vs1 combat, it was equal part of team play to take bases and win the map.

Lets see that is, low numbers, no team work, no friendship.

In sixty days my account will end and I will not renew.

I still don't get it.  The MW is an ideal spot for large squads to fly together.  BoPs use it most and if other large squads used it would be a great place to flight / play.

Just seems to me these other large squads would rather play where they want as individuals rather than together.

See ya.

Our squad(s) fly together fine.  

If they didn't,  I still get to pretend I'm flying a warbird.  

That's a wonderful way to spend $15.

See ya.

i hate the people who say see ya to these posts..
this guy has a point to make, right or wrong its his love of the game that has compelled him to speak his view..

i don't 100% agrre with him, but i do think the game is going to the dogs over the last year or so..
if these arena changes had been made 2 years ago the early and mid war arenas would have been full of the old vets we used to have(sadly they left in droves after the last major change) you know who i mean..
they would have flown EW & MW.. and left the LW to the tits&tards..

sorry HTC just shuffleing the deck dont make a new game..

Yup,  out of love of the game he spoke his mind.  Out of love of the game I spoke mine.

I respect his right to express his opinion.  I respect my right to express my opinion.

I even respect your opinion that I shouldn't express my opinion.  

Huh?

Needing 3 squads to hold all your members is crazy! Buttttttttt, I'm sure HTC will sort the problem of finding squaddies shortly.

You need 96 guys to take a base? I can name that tune in 10 ;)  

I have alot of friends in the game, hard not to make a few after 5 years, and I know it's been said a thousand times before this but if you like the game then you should give it more than 2 weeks to make this decision.

[Kurt turns on the applause light for Grits]

Yeah, I especially liked 'My account ends in 60 days then I'm gone'

Which roughly translates to a threat 'you have 60 days to do what I demand'

If you hate it so much that you can't stand it and you know you can't change it, why are you here now?

If you walked into my office and said "I hate you and in 60 days I'm gone!" I'd have security escort you to your car and pay you for 60 days to be rid of your attitude... Thats the real world once you're out of high school.

I'm sure no body thinks the $30 you're gonna spend in 60 days is worth the greif you can cause in the meantime.
