When i first started playing this game in 2000-2001 i always liked to give and accept salute's after fights , it was a very common occurance even if it was a totally one sided fight , didn't matter people were generally respectful to one another .
Last time i played for any amount of time was about 8 months ago , i couldnt stand the way people would talk to each other and tuned 200 out , but that is when i realized that the minute turn out 200 the game loses that feeling of "community" . I've always had some great friends on all side's off the map , most of the time using 200 was just to say or respectfully give one another a jab but when you cant do that the sense of camaraderie is gone .
Now i spend most of my "flying time" roaming the boards trying to help people with their computer issues , i don't want to throw in the towel and cancel my account but i cant seem to get back into a game where you have to either A) tune out the community ,or B) be prepared to defend yourself verbally after 50% of your engagements . to old friends...... 38maw
