Don't mean to sound harsh but it's a rather stupid idea. You haven't been around long enough to remember how the game was 5+ years ago, when the game play was actually really good. You could find good fights, squadrons would regularly rotate to help even out the sides and the skies were full of good sticks.
The day this appeared on the AH main page is the day the game play started to go down the tubes.
