or one could take a more diplomatic approach and offer help and guidance to ways of more fun enjoyable and eager learning of "Good Game Play & Sportsmanship Etiquette"..........and do so in a fashion that just complete bombards these people (not the squad mentioned, but ALL PEOPLE) that currently play like this............. if the community members allow it to happen, then they are not helping the community for the greater good......only helping it to keep existing and making others fester and complaign..........I am not saying to not "Overwhelm" these people with some good old fashion aerial can of whiparse........infact it is what I am saying exactly.........beat them into submission as well as "INTELLIGENT smack talk & WISE cracks" until they get the message that their gameplay etiquette absolutely is uncalled for and is detrimental to the community........

my feelings on the matter anyhows...... YMMV
"When one considers just what they should say to a new pilot who is logging in Aces High, the mind becomes confused in the complex maze of info it is necessary for the new player to know. All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

we had over 20 guys in our sqaud and most of them were doing the same thing milking EW and milking MW i asked them to stop doing what your doing or leave the sqaud they chose to leave the sqaud .it seems to me they just don't want to take the time to learn basic ACM . but you see  that with a lot of guys in these mega sqauds

EW isn't about SOARS, Rooks, milkrunners or score potatoes...it's simply the human condition. It's rare to find a EW population of more than 20 so chess pieces are easily skewed. Most, not all, of the EW regulars pile in on the country with the highest numbers and go to work on the country with the lowest numbers. Hey, you get free perkies for winning the war, so why not? And...who in their right mind doesn't want to make it to the TOP 5 at the end of the Tour?  :devil

Next time just jump in on the side with fewest numbers and go at it. Let the beatings begin  :D

And then you could actually perk things like the Hurri2C in EW and have a use for the perk points.

Why ? ... 99% of those people in EW wouldn't know what do do with their perks and surely wouldn't have a use for them in any of the LW arenas. Try to envision EW pilots coming to an LW arena and taking out any of the perk planes ... they would die within seconds of an engagement. They milk run that arena in hopes to see their names on the AH Homepage and when those who view that page (who don't know the difference) say to themselves ... WOW ... those guys are "leet".

Yes there are some LW tools that go to EW and milk the perkies, but so what ... what's the big deal ?

why?
to stop perk farming in EW and MW for use in LW, and consistency with scoring, which is split by arena.

why not?
no reason I can see.

    Kinda hard to perk farm with a perk bonus approaching 0.3 or 0.4 (or lower) isnt it? (Nevermind having no one to shoot at!)  The real perk farmers are usually on low numbers flying attack sorties and hitting strat. Frankly if someone wants to perk farm by hitting a high number country they deserve the perks. If you out number your opponent no reason you cant defend your fields. The horde, land grab, win the war types are the ones throwing the numbers off.

Glad to see not one thing has changed in EW since I was last there before the split scoring.  Same guys doing the same things they've been doing for years in there and you were surprised?
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Tell ya what... I dont remember this problem with one arena?  How was that a slum?  Get everyone in one room and let bullets sort everything else out.  My best memories of this game was playing 600-700 people on one map.  Just dont use lameo maps like pizza.  Something between old beta maps and the megamaps {which only encouraged even more milkrunning.} OZkansas seems like a good layout!


Maybe eliminate "flying under radar" so there isnt 70 people in b26s doing something gamey.  If people see whats coming they will defend it.  Too many megasquads sprung on wanting to take bases without defense.

Mind you, this was my opinion 3 months ago before I suspended my account... Im sure things havent changed too much since then.

wouldn't they just close early and midwar arenas based upon the small number of people that go in there as opposed to the late war arenas ?

The time switching limit in EW should be reduced just because of things like this.
