It was that in my opinion-these "grown men" were crying about it because it was effecting them and it wasn't "fair" to THEM.
Bucky, do you really believe that AKAK, Stang, Lusche, and others who have been there and done that with regards to scoring and topping 95% of the arenas in furballing and ground attack and fighter sweeps, really are envious of some tardlets with barely anything memorable about em except some 'special' number next to their name? That they post about players pooping where everyone eats with tears in their eyes? Do you let your kids borrow your car and wreck it into retirement homes over and over because 'kids will be kids'?
Merely being tardlets and dweebs isnt the issue here.. It's devaluating the game's elements, regardless of which one it is (scoring or hording or exploiting bugs or outright cheating or polluting vox, etc), no matter whether they're your type of play or not. 'Out of sight, out of mind' doesnt really work in AH. The AH world is just too small for anything to get out of hand without everything else suffering from it at least a bit.
And I personaly dont give a rat's. I never look at scoring except when I have to land jets on CVs, don't care about winning the war or getting perks from it, nor anything else I can think of right now, except having some good fights. But I do see an erosion on the game when people skew score into absolute meaninglessness, or when they poison the game with rumors and suspicions caused by ponies dropping 50 million lbs of bombs, or when some armchair general dweeb stirs clueless noobs into suicide porking sweeps. There`s nothing to gain from letting that happen, not in downplaying it as negligible because without consequences.
