I have read just about every post since this new change occured in AH... and even tho I still dont like the change, I am trying to adapt. What really pisses me off lately is the select "few" that feels the need to attack every single post in here. It seems that if anyone has a complaint or just wants to voice their opinion, they are automatically attacked. Its absolutely stupid. The other part that is really chapping me is the attacks on the large squads. I am part of a large squad..... so..... the changes were not our doing, so why should we feel obligated to make YOUR nights funner by switching sides or leveling out the fight.... noone gives a rats butt that we are not having as much fun as we were..... but you few who feel that we all should bow down to make your nights funner is absolute BS... I feel very confident that the attackers will have a field day with this post, but that will only show that my allegations are correct..... There needs to be some kind of solution that would benefit everyone.... but as it stand now, only the complaints of a select few will ever get any notice... however at least I have gotten this off of my chest.... I <~~> those that actually come here to post concerns or suggestions.... for the others that want to just attack, slam, or whatever you feel your doin...... well..... you get the idea~~

I think that covers it.

So you come on here a create a thread and no one else is allowed to post unless they agree with your content. This post will do nothing but drag out more mud and conflict ... like we didn't or don't have enough posts on this subject.

You seem passionate about what you posted ... for the price of a long distance call, why don't you call HT or Pyro and vent on them ... they alone decided on the change. After you get done talking to them, please post how the conversation went and what you talked about.

As I PLAINLY said above, my vent was on the people who attack threads automatically. I never once said that replies were not allowed, HOWEVER I did say that the ones who attack would have a field day... I was also defending the large squads ... again, never said anything about not allowing replies... just the attacks on the posts... there is a big difference in disagreeing and just being a jerk about it.

I can see your point if I thought like you do.

I guess that my point would be that I would just as soon you (meaning the ones with the mega squad mentality) would just go away and that the new guys coming in would be more oriented to air combat and, rather than "win the war" centered...

More centered on large fun fights with less griefing and gameing the game. I would like to see less milkrunning and less 9 on one and less allways having to have the very best plane.

I would like to see more community where everyone was willing to switch sides if it took that in order to have a good time and a good fight.

If you have to go in order for that to happen... it doesn't bother me... I don't want HTC to lose the money but I would like to see you (mega squad toolshedders) replaced by someone with better game ethics.

I know it seems new to you, Mystic, but really the “attacks” against large squads are just a continuation of the old gripes by “the few” as you put it.

Before the change, “Toolshedders and Hordes are ruining the game.”

After the change, “Toolshedders and Hordes are ruining the game.”

The only subtle difference is that individual squads are now being attacked rather than the generic “horde” term. With the lower arena numbers, any group of 5 is considered “horde-like”. So any large, cooperative squad is easy to target for “hording behavior”, even though you may not be doing anything differently than before.

Same dance, same tune, they’re just playing on a different instrument.

Maybe knowing that, it will be a little easier for you to brush off.

First off, thank you for the way you posted Laz . From the way I see it, this is where everyone is divided.... and to be honest, I really dont have a problem finding fun fights, its the idea that as a large squad we should be obligated to do it, just because we are a larger squad... sadly, I think the days of the bigger squads are gone or going away, and its sad... there were several good large squads on all 3 countries.... again, I know that this has been debated to death, and my main reason for the vent was the attacks on the posts....... unfortunately this debate won't go away for a very long time.....

Usually I just read the posts and move on.... but lately it seems that if anyone posts any type of topic, they are attacked right off the bat..... and the frustration of sorting thru all of the BS to get to the real topic along with the other stuff just finally boiled over..... now that its off my chest.... I can go on about my business ....

i guess it depends on how you define "attacks"

stegor · « **Reply #13 on:** October 19, 2006, 10:13:04 AM »

Can we say "never in the story of AH so many have been conditioned by so few"??

Guppy35 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 19, 2006, 10:36:46 AM »

You seem to be referencing "large squads" quite a bit.

Clarify this. A squad in AH is limited to 32 players max. So what you are referencing are multiple squads with the same name. Putting the same name on 3 squads does not make it one squad. It makes it 3 squads with the same name.

You are unhappy that as you see it that AH is dictating how your "large squad" plays.

In essence what you seem to want is that you can have upwards of 90 players in your "large squad" dictate the tone in an arena.

Again using the term "large squad" is decieving as there is a limit on squad size in AH so there is no "large squad" just multiple squads with the same name.
