Is the game in decline

The game is  great  but  the  interaction between players   is has gotten tiresome.

Been like this for years.  A whole generation of players came into the game around 2004-2006 that believed the more smack you talked on open channels the higher you were valued as a integral part of the game.
It is viewed today as an important part of the skill set needed to be respected.  You can always tell when a LW squad comes into MW by the crap they spew on open channels.  They stick out like sore thumbs in other predictable ways too.

So yours and others lack of thick skin is the reason the game is supposedly in decline? Good grief, grow a pair.

The biggest crap talkers in the MW seem to come from the regulars in there, guys like cotton and other members of the Furious Furries.

And when you give it back to them they mass report you. Yep, classy bunch.

[Yeager]

Guess I forgot about those guys.  I always considered that particular bunch pretty benign anyway.

Like someone said the BBS is fairly irrelevant but lets not let that stop us from having an abbusive argument in the bbs about how abussive arguments in the bbs are ruining the game.

If it was me I would have an age limit of old enough to know better. However the inrternet is renowned for people having about the same level of respect and manners in relation to their fellow users as they show when driving their car as in not allot of either. Its about the same in my experience on 200. People get killed they cry whinge and throw out abusse but the BBS and 200 are volunntary anyone who choses to read and then gets upsett really should know better even kids should work this out fairly quickly.

Most convincing thing I have heard so far is money is tight other things being equal that will have an effect.

[Krusty]

Is this true ?

No.

Game seems fine to me.  I've been playing a long time and I still have fun when I get a chance to log on.

As for the smack talkers.  That's as old as the online flight sim has been around.  Those who stick around long enough grow out of it.  It goes with thinking being a superstar cartoon pilot means something

I think it's the gamers themselves and how they choose to game that is in decline.

The game itself is fine.
