Question for everyone

Alert! Logic error!
HT's numbers are for players LOGGED ON, not for players loggING on. That means the time connected IS taken into account...A guy who used to stay on for hours but now is on only for a few seconds would be likely to miss the time window HT's evaluating. By using the same measurement tool before and after the change, from a statistical standpoint he's taking time connected into account both times!!

This Month....

Time hh:mm:ss 32:19:28 24:44:59 18:24:55 41:37:15 117:06:37

Last Month....

Time hh:mm:ss 116:54:41 33:18:46 41:32:06 90:29:40 282:15:13

Better than a 50% drop there. [/B]

And by HT's statistical measurement, it can be concluded that for every player who reduced time from dissatisfaction, there was at least one who increased time from increased enjoyment.

Just because we pay for the service that HTC provides does not equal us having a say in how HT runs his bussiness.  We are not share holders here... a closer analogy would be comparing HTC to somthing akin to a utilities company... we give them money and they provide a service for that.  We have the choice to take our money elsewhere if we do not feel that the service is worth the cost.  Or I suppose you can think of it as a subsription to a magazine... just because you pay them doesn't mean you can edit the issue, or write the articles.

Great point! It goes with the comment I made earlier this morning in anthor post. HTC is a company, and that company is changing things up. One can not expect to keep 100% of customers happy 100% of the time. IMHO, it's OK to voice your complaints as paying customers, but, if HT dosen't change things based on your complaints/suggestions, keep in mind we as a community and "WW2 flying geeks" (a term borrowed from my wife) are darn lucky that this game even exists.

Sim, no logic error.  What hitech gave was simply a snapshot of players logged in, not the player-hour comparison.  I am looking through records of other squadmates and more or less finding the same number ratios.

Player Hour, and average players online are realy the same thing, Unless your trying to make the case that A lot more players are now playing AH, but each playing less.

Mr No Name: Ill state it planely, your assertion that the change has adversly effected AH stats , is just incorect.

I will certainly take your word for it sir, I can only speak for myself and my circle of friends... I assume there are others who share my experience as well.

Guess we made up the difference from your squad

Just checked for the fun of it.  This is the most we've ever flown, with the 395 hours we flew in July being second.  Could be it's about the attitude going into the game too?  It is what you make it.
