The "Game" is static. It is a flight sim, a computer code. Game play is what you take out of it, and put into it, the "game" doesn't change.
If gameplay is going downhill, look inward, not at the game itself.
For example, I personally enjoy the game more now than I ever have. Same game, different perspective. If several people interpret a static environment in several different ways, it's not the environment, it's the interpretation.
If you are looking for someone else to define the game for you, then deal with what "they" create, and get over it. If you allow someone else to dictate the game for you then you simply have no say in the results. Create the game you want to play or accept what is created for you.
You can create the game play as you want. It's so easy to do, and so simple to figure out, one can only make the assumption that posts like this are for no other reason that to generate attention, because clearly, solving the Gaming Issues cannot possibly occur on a forum, that can only occur in the game itself.
It's really rather simple. So what's this about?
