Who's the bigger dweeb?
« Reply #45 on: April 21, 2007, 11:50:40 PM »
In the two years I've played AH I've seen the "code of conduct" of the player community change, ever so slowly, for the worst.  This is amply reflected in TT.
More people than ever are taking up Tigers in TT than used to, just to sit back long distance and rack up scores, rather than maneuver and fight panzer to panzer, as was more often the case in the past.  
Also, way more people are upping fighters just to shoot up tanks they know they can never kill on their own.  They wait for another GV to kill it and run off with their "majority hits" kill.  Spray enough bullets on enough GV's, wait awhile and you'll rack up two or three freebie kills.
And the bomber dweebs, just want to score potato as there is no strategic value or even any 1 v 1 conflict to boming the massed GV's at TT.  Then just for good measure, they habitually bomb the vehicle bases just to rack up more score and piss everyone off.  It's just a great big griefer's paradise now.
Yea, let's get real concerned about 2 or 3 whole tanks in windmills at TT.  Let's "shame" them into playing the right way!  Like the way people play the rest of the game is just such a great example and inspiration.  
After reading the crap that goes through this goose of a forum, and the way so many are playing the game, I think by now those that care to give or get a fair fight, or play with any sense of honor or respect are decidedly in the minority.
So excuse me if I don't get all teary-eyed over people "gaming the game" anymore.  Tired of fighting the crap, maybe it's better just to join them, since taking any edge or unfair advantage seems to be the AH Standard Of Play now.  The community as a whole has only itself to blame, and it starts all too often in this forum.

I agree with Sloehand.  I enjoy the real fights, not the gamed fights.   If I want game fights I'll break out the PS2.  I find it hard to believe that some people are proud of getting kills by using a glitch in the game.  I hope this isn't the direction of the AHII community.

I s'pose he can quote "kelly's heroes" as his authority.......

If he can stick his turret thru it can a shell go thru it too?    or could we ask HTC to give these objects that folk can hide in the same object properties as the tree foliage which I now note allows shells to pass thru

Did you read the same post as I?

Slow doesn't care about it the windmill bug.  It's the same as the guy sitting far away from the fight plinking and wracking up score.  Same for fighters carrying eggs to TT or buffs dropping VHs on tt isle.

Sloe wants you to play his way , that's the right way. :rolleyes:

There's this one too. Actually two guys in this one, an M4 and a Panzer. I was on the hillside to the left. They were discussing hiding in windmills, saying that everyone knows about this and the enemy was using it too. They landed about 12 to 14 kills each, I seem to recall.

I should have clarified.  I just want a fair fight, People should have enough integerity to not to use a glitch in order to get kills.
