Without repeating alot of what has been said and the points that have been made, please review the string and you will find that we agree that something should be in place, the issue arises from asking these fundamental quesitons:
1. Is ENY effective in making the game even?
2. If so, How is it making the game even?
3. Who is benefiting from ENY to make it even?
4. If no ENY existed what would be the outcome?
5. What effect of no ENY would it have on base captures?
6. what effect does ENY have on base captures now?
7. Do you agree that ENY has little, if no effect on winning the war?
You could go on, but these are questions we are concerned with along with many others. This is about making it fair for all and from my point of view I dont think its a FAIR fight in many aspects.
Everything can be improved upon, nothing is set in stone, however there are some good points that have been made about ENY and why it doesnt work.
Some of what I and others have posted is from our side of the fence which usually the ENY resides in our yard due to our larger numbers, we agree? Something Bish does not control and just happens to be that way.
Our point is that it does not EVEN out the game, it does not detract or add to OUR abilities to conduct succesful missions to win the war which is the GOAL of THE GAME (ours anyway).
Players from bish side as well as others in the game from all sides that realize from a users perspective that it doesnt even things out, since we still win maps with such high eny's.
So, to clarify our goal is to win wars which we do.(with numbers due to Bish usually outnumbering in one arena and outnumbered in the other, and HIGH eny as much as 20-25). However, with high eny's how is that preventing us from winning wars anyway?
Much of the time, knits, rooks, bail out of the game since they smell defeat coming, and the eny skyrockets when they do.
ENY has no effect on preventing us from winning the war even with higher numbers and low end planes.
Who is it benefiting? only benefit from ENY is that the sides that are without eny can shoot other planes down more easily. I have made some distinct observations about this game and pointed them out, rooks and knits top 90% out of 100 in scores, you can follow this trend down to 500, the info is there to see for yourself.
Many times in the Late arena you will see Bish fighting BOTH sides at the same time. You can actually see no activity between the rook and knit lines at times, so at times it is an even fight, I have seen many times and using today as an example: 118 bish, 67 knits, 74 rooks, and when you look at the rook and knit lines, very little activity, so if they not fighting each other they are fighting us, now its 118 bish vs 100 knooks. So it does become EVEN. but we get penalized with the ENY.
Limit the amount per side?, increase the arena size? who knows how to fix it. Shifting people around does not FIX anything, again I have stated reasons before why it wont work.
I enjoy a good fight as well as others, the good ones are few and far between, all sides are the same in the way we fight, however our biggest issue is the numbers of players per side. This has to be addressed that way, not to punish everyone on that side by limiting planes they can use due to numbers.
I dont have all the answers to fix it, but it needs to be addressed.
Feel free to share your thought on the above questions, I am open to others opinions.
