ENY works off total country populations, not just in-flight numbers.
Perking doesn't work, at all. It is only a "make ENY effect the noobs, but let me fly what I want" suggestion. It is obvious that it would limit only the new players, allowing anyone else to fly whatever they want, regardless of how imbalanced the numbers are, and that is why it is repeatedly mentioned as a "solution" to ENY restriction.
well I think the orignal idea behind ENY and the limiting was the notion that when someone logs in, and cant fly what they want.. they will switch sides.. and thus.. balance the numbers..
that, obviousley is not happening..
and for good reason, people get used to flying for 1 country, get familiar with names, and people..
its especially for squads and nearly impossible for large ones.. the logistics alone are a preventing matter, let alone the fact that if we have 30 members on.. and switch countries.. we will unbalance the area and be back to square 1
not to say there are not people who country jump all the time.. but if your highly involved in a squad, especially one that frequently has alot of members on.. its very very difficult to just country jump on a whim..
so ENY was imposed to balance the teams in the arena, it does not do that.. but it does seem fairly effective at pissing people off..
