Gee, I know quite a few people who don't log into the game on Titanic Tuesday AT ALL, and I'm relatively new around here.
I am one of those.
I have been spending more time in the Blue Arena as of late ... population-wise, it reminds me of AH1 days.
I like to play the "interdiction" role. I scan the map for the outlying bases that are blinking and play the "spoiler". This allows me to get into many fights and most times, I don't have to fight my own guys for a kill. I also watch the country text closely and look for "alerts" or "I/We could use some help at Axxx". So, what others may find as a fault of running a large map in Blue, I find entertaining.
If I participate in an offensive role, it is usually off a CV where there are few guys attacking a field and they are running into opposition. If they are milk-running a field or the fight becomes too lopsided in our favor, I move on looking for somewhere else that has a fight.
I think it's a case of too many changes too quickly in a somewhat knee-jerk over-reaction to a problem that was mostly just a simple matter of perception and perspective.
A rather large assumption on your part.
