Why I dont tune to 200

[Yarbles]

A pick and a HO are not the same thing.
Pick- when your already engaged with an enemy and another enemy comes in and kills you.
HO- Head on.
    GOT IT?
For someone who's "been playing for years" im surprised you didnt know that...

You've been playing for years and havent ever been HO'd?!?!?! - I find that unbelievable sorry. Mabey you dont make exscuses about it or dont whine about it but that wouldnt mean that you didnt get HO'd.

(Patiently) I never said a pick or a Ho are the same thing or if I did I appologise. The idea is they are both open to interpretation.

Dont get in a position to take a front shot if you dont like it.

Look behind you.

Fight your battles with skill in the arena not with words in here or on 200,

People taslk about personal conduct and dweebery. The worst conduct I see in this game and the greatest dweebery is that of the bad loser who wont accept defeat and starts crying on 200 and making excuses. Its a very challenging enviromentso rise to the challenge and stop trying to make it easier.

The logic is presumably because you are a better pilot than me you can tell me how to play the game properly and I am not allowed to object. A bit like the ignorant school bully who just because he has grown bigger than everyone else thinks quite rightly he can push them around along with his gang of like minded ignoramases. Because they are a group and agree this re inforces the whole argument. When someone tells them they are wrong this person is seen as dictating to them!!! 

and yet, here you are on the bb, trying to tell everyone else how to play the game properly, and presumably, we're not allowed to object?

I thought I was telling everyone not to tell everyone else how to play the game but there is a logic in what your saying.

The challenge with that logic is "Dont tell me not to tell you not to tell me what to do"

My general point has to be accept people dont fly how you want them to and work around it rather than make a nasty crying whingeing noise when you get killed by them. In other words see how people fly as part of the terain you cant change and work for the outcome you want with that in mind. 

Criticising and accusing people all the time just makes eventually for a negative unpleasant atmosphere and is hugely subjective anyway.

Seems your telling folks how or where they should fly not the other way around.


In another post you tell someone else to fly in the arena with skill.... what would you know about that if you just Ho.

Look at that great advice.  I expect nothing less from such a stellar group.

kinda scary, ain't it?

There's no difference between a guy  picking you from an angle than from above. You are still dead. You think you are on some kind of high ground because you call yourself a furballer. Newsflash:  you're a picker.

Everyone in a furball picks, otherwise a furball would be a bunch of 1v1's in the same airspace. Getting shot at by guy(s) you aren't engaged with is exactly what makes it a furball. There can not be a furball without picking. Otherwise, again ,  it would just be a bunch of 1v1's.  So complaining about getting picked from any position in a furball is exactly the same as complaining about the furball itself.

QFT!

Dude, you're all over the map. Pickers hanging above? There's no difference between a guy  picking you from an angle than from above. You are still dead. You think you are on some kind of high ground because you call yourself a furballer. Newsflash:  you're a picker.

P-51 barreling in at 450mph....Co-E HurrIIc cutting across your turn circle...Hmmm...I wonder which has more chance of successfully "picking" you...Yet the former is "evil" while the latter is acceptable.

I am not sure I understand this but I did think the 51 is specifially best at this style of fighting and may charge in the first time but then move closer to a co E state as it continues to harass the intended victim. Now if the victim doesnt want to be atacked from above by a faster plane I think they should go to the DA or an arena like mid or early war where the fights are smaller and easier to understand from a situational awareness point of view.

Alternatively stop complaining

THE OP RESURRECTED IT

Its because people keep posting I think

Anyway its a different perspective in My opinion.

Typical Post is :

"I dont know why I am still paying my subscription to this game when its full of pickers and HO tards. Back in the good old days everyone loved each other and played nicely"

This is followed by:

"I feel your pain brother but pleeeeeeeease dont leave. I am sure that things will get better one day  and we will all live happily ever after".

And people say this is a bull S post!!

Everything I have been involved in whatever game including my own squad inevitably and in a very short period of time after creation/formation we hear the above.

 ( "I dont know why I am still in this squad back in the good old days we used to work toghether now everyone is out for themselves"

This is followed by:

"I feel your pain brother but pleeeeeeeease dont leave. I am sure that things will get better one day  and we will all live happily ever after".)

or some other version and this has often started long before I have even joined.

The answer is as follows in My opinion.

1) Most people look back through rose tinted glasses and so things were better in the past as they remember their great exploits and triumphs and spin those together in their mind not focusing on past frustrations. (Would you rather remember your last painfull dental appointment or your last victory for the team).

2) Secondly if you dont evolve in the game it gets repetitive and boring so that the triumphs do not out weigh the frustartions and boredom anymore.

All this has to be bourne in mind if you are to attempt to judge the people in the game and how it is evolving over time.

Now anyone might say so what? I actually like whingeing, making excusses, blaming others for my shortcomings and flouncing about on here to see if people care about my prescence.

I say to develop and grow you need to have a reasonabley objecive assesment of yourself and circumstances espcially if you want to progress. If you are backward looking you will tend to stagnate and then destroy the game for yourself that you have hitherto enjoyed.
