I have had this radical idea, so might as well put it out here.
I believe the war needs...some adjustment. As much as I appreciate the staff, I believe some 'regular joe' input would be handy. I say take a couple hardcore (very active) allied guys, a couple hardcore (very active) axis guys, give them access to a staff forum and let them air their grievances and work things out with the staff.
As much as I am thankful for the staff, what we see and what they see can often be two different things....and the truth lost somewhere in between.
Well put Republic.
I nominate you (didn't see that coming did ya?) I guess that is kinda like voting across party lines, but I agree that a separate forum with ordinary Joe reps is needed. Maybe COs and XOs and like you suggested, some representatives from the ranks (could be done from squads or active posts, etc) could privately pitch and debate gameplay.
I think that Arlo makes some very interesting posts that relate to historical and game play issues and a good choice for Allied representation. I have my opinions, but I try to keep in mind that we have just gone through a major change, so no need to throw out the good with the bad. I believe that slight adjustments and altered scoring objectives can sweeten the allure for AvA. Sheepishly, throwing my hat into that ring
Back to my suggestion of a one day altered AvA arena, different setups can be tested and feedback will be based on trial not rhetoric.
