That is rubbish. Me saying i will own you is clearly a challenge in our community, is it not? I say this because it is a laguange that you (plural, again) understand as a squad of duelers who learn and practice ACMs.
I did not say anyone had no skill, i merely pointed out that i think i have more, and would like a chance to find out. That is very different to calling out joe public who just flies the MA to wind down and have fun at the weekend.
This is utter rubbish aswell Moot, im sorry to have to be so blunt to you. Ganging and hording is the POINT of the MA today. It is not 1999 AH1 beta any more. EVERYBODY does it. If you are telling me the muppets dont fly as a squad and cover each others tails then what is the point of you even flying together in the MA?
THE MA IS NOT YOUR OWN PERSONAL DUELING ARENA. GO TO THE RIGHT PLACE AND STOP RANTING AT FREIDNLY PAYING CUSTOMERS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT FLYING HOW YOU WANT THEM TO.
ok thanks did i say that loud enough
Right.. So when I go to the racetrack and see someone doing it all wrong.. Leaving the lugnuts on his wheels not tightened, not putting his helmet on safely, totally frying his tires with excessive corrections and ham handed control at the wheel and pedals.. When someone does something totally wrong, I just sit back and say, he doesn't warrant being told better. I wouldn't dare "be so blunt" as to say a number of things that, boiled down, all amount to "you have no skill". [/sarcasm] Of course it's no help to say that poor bloke has no skill, but it's the truth, and it's kind of hard to imagine someone with his head on his shoulders being offended at being told so, when it's the truth, in a cartoon game.
Now.. Some guys have been saying it pretty rudely. There's no fine line between smack and blowing steam and frank ranting. Not over the net where you can say something completely benign and have someone or some people fifty trillion electrons away take it like some enormous insult and get their panties in a knot over it.. So you have to tread lightly, unless you have a knack for reading people and oration (or rather writing in AH). I'm not defending the over the top rants. But they're accurate if you boil them down to their factual basis.
And well.. I guess we'll just agree to disagree. Ganging and hording is utter crap, it's steaming hot rat poop. There's no defending clobbering a con 4:1 when there's unengaged cons right there within icon range. That's absolute nonsense. What is the difference between that red guy and the other red guy a little further? This path of least resistance crap is no good for the game.. Period. Whether it's been here for 2 weeks or decades doesn't change that.
Whether I point it out in the game in a friendly manner (and I do) isn't tantamount to pretending I own the arena. Not anymore than it's pretending I own some guy's 15$ when I walk him thru what he's doing wrong, or pretending I'm an official staffer when I tune to channel 6 and answer questions.
Last point.. The muppets flying as a squad doing this or that.. It doesn't matter what it is we do. Cura te ipsum.. We'll "fly how we want to", not "how you want us to". If you think there's something wrong with what we do though, feel free to point out by premise and argument how that is. If it makes sense there's no reason we won't give it due credit.
We certainly don't gang, though. Not unless you consider out of context situations like when we end up killing the 5 bandits we initially engaged as a 5:5 that turns into a 4:1 at the end-game. It's now an unsaid golden rule that everyone knows as second nature, that you don't barge into a squaddie's fight. Unless your name is Steve and being a love muffin that way is somehow still hilarious and in good nature.
One muppet can brand the whole group in one misplaced ch200 rant. If you all stopped with this ACMs God Squad complex and started showing a little more respect to the average
And that's false. No one is responsible for what someone else says or does. This is just flawed. The only exception to this sort of thing is being in the DFC. I suppose now I am supposed to be completely flawless because I wear a dfc hat. I think that's totally unfair but I'm willing to do it.
player this aggro would all be history.
You know what.. If I'm not even saying anything rude to someone in the game... if just shooting someone down repeatedly will make him want to get better and give us a good fight (nevermind the fact that he/she'll get even more kick out of the game thanks to it), then I'm all for "Aggro". Bring it on.
