Agreed, it isn't about disrespecting them, its helping them understand that we understand as well, that as a community, TOGETHER, have to work at improving game play, participation, growth, for the benefit of the game, but do it with responsibility, where Everyone can enjoy the game, not dictated by a few that think someone elses game play is lame because THEY said so.
Change:its a daily part of our lives that at times can be hard to face
Change?
What does anything that you or yours do have the slightest thing about change?
As was already pointed out there is nothing that you do that is either new, unique or special. Griefers and dweebs have done exactly what you do for decades now. Don't try to come across as some sort of innovator or a harbinger of what is the "future" of the game.
You are no different than any noob who for the past 30 ish years has tried to take shortcuts and thinks they have a clue. They ALL thought as you do and considered themself "special" and what they were doing "unique".
They weren't, you aren't, and it isn't.
You are at a stage.
A point in the learning curve.
Pure and simple.
Most players eventually see the limitations of that stage and grow out of it.
Hopefull you will as well, but unfortunately not all do.
There will be another along soon enough that thinks they are reinventing the wheel who will do exactly as you are doing and think it is "the future of the game!!!" (lmao @ change)
I'll give you a perfect example. A few years back, a similar cartoon was posted on the BBS. It was about the BOPs. Going back much further I can cite certain Az squads that flew AOL AirWarrior that probably had a similar cartoon posted about them. I am equally sure if one was to go back to AirWarrior on GENIE we can find another group. This conversation we are having has happened time and again on forums like this one going back to the late 1980's.
It has all been done before. It's not change, it is more of the same. It is a very typical stage that many noobs have gone through from the inception of online ww2 flight sims. I find it hilarious (and somewhat sad) that you think that you are unique in any way what so ever in this matter.
You sir, are not.
You are just another in a long line of players that think they have a clue, but in reality don't.
Some day you might grow out of this limited stage of the AcesHigh learning curve you find yourself at, look back at some of the garbage you have posted, and laugh at what a weenie clueless noob you were.
It has happened countless times in the past, and will happen countless times in the future.
*snicker* change......
