Switching contries, why not ! My decision!

Switching sides tells a lot about a players real world character: There is none. No moral fibre, no loyalty. Weak quitters. This is the stuff real world traitors are made of. Stick with your country in good or bad times! Be PROUD of your COUNTRY!
Some "people" claim to have friends on the other sides. WTF? There are no friends behind that border, ONLY ENEMIES!!!!
And don't use that lame excuse "It's only a game"

HTC should disable switching.

I fly almost two years with the BISHOPS. I never changed into rooks or knits, and i don’t think i ever will, as long as I play this game. That’s my point of view.

Good to see I'm not alone. I started switching sides regularly a couple months ago.

Not only did I get fed up with some outrageous eny restrictions, I suddenly realized it might make play a little better if the teams were evened out- not that me switching to the team with lowest numbers is going to help when the numbers are 35, 20, 17.

The only downside I've found is the lack of camraderie you feel in having YOUR team.

Other than that, I've found the teams seem to be pretty similar. Each team has the friendly guys you like to be around and some that you never really deal with at all. Each team will seem totally disorganized at times and other times seeming like they're a real juggernaut.

One thing that cracks me up is hearing players complain that the particular team we're on is screwed up and can't do anything right...blah, blah, blah. I've found each country can look bad or good depending on who's playing and the particular dynamics of the game at that time. I try and make a point to tell them that I've found all teams pretty much the same as far as organization and players go.

When I first started switching, I ended up going a little overboard by switching to the lowest numbered country even if there was only a one player spread: 8,9,9. I finally got to thinking that was a bit ridiculous and now stay with the team I'm with when I log in unless there's a wider spread in numbers. Just how wide the spread need be depends on my mood at the time.

Again, there's something to be said for camraderie, and loyalty to a team, but I think Lusche's going a bit far, assuming he's serious.

For the first couple of months, I was sticking to one country.
With time I really saw why I was playing the game for . FIGHTERS ! I like to fly and scrap with the enemy. With respect to other game positions, I don't have any interest.
Having a career that involves shift rotations(night shifts), I end up being "off" during daily hours(E/T) where the game is at its minimum in players...

Several times, loging into the game and there's nobody flying :(
Should I get into a tank and go ? Not interested ! Maybe capture a base ? Maybe I'll do it to assist a teamate but not really interested ....
So I started to switch sides to be able to scrap with whoever is flying.
Nothing personal ! Just wanta scrap ;)

Am I to wait for the rush hours for more players to have a chance at what I like best in the game ?:rofl
Sorry guys, I'm switching and will keep on switching !
I don't see myself as a quitter, I do have good friends on each teams and have exchange many good things...
These players who got to know me are very aware of my opinion and are not offended when we confront....

As for the purpose of switching sides for the advantage, that I'm strongly against ! Some players have tried getting info out of me when I swtiched and they got a negative answer;)

Switching sides has nothing to do with my character. I have respect for the BISH-NIGHTS-ROOKS....
M'not a quitter and I stick with the boys when the tough  gets goin';)

And YES ITS ONLY A GAME LUSCHE !!:lol

Switching sides and getting shot down by you Lusche made me a better player today for you to enjoy the game better when we meet again !

I respect your opinion on the matter but refuse to believe to be that player you decribed me to be :rofl :p ;) :D

Salute
Phil
