It has been my experience, in the 10 years or so I have been playing, that with every change there is a small group who whine about the change and threaten to quit. I may have been one of those people at one time or another myself. The fact of the matter is that change is constant. (We would never have won the Second World War if not for change). Change is good. It levels the playing field for a while. The good players will always overcome a challenge and rise to the top. This change to the way you employ your GV is not going to cause the mass exodus that the nay sayers envision...it never has, it never will. HiTech is doing the right thing in order to keep up with changes in the gaming world, and thus preventing the game from becoming stale and boring. I can remember several changes that caused outcry's such as this. Several have been rescinded, such as the expanded Radar and the linked bases. Some have stayed and have been forgotten, such as when HiTech made the trees varying heights to improve terrain scenery.
I Have also heard the whine that HTC doesn't care about the players. Wow...HTC gives you almost everything you want, when you want it. The B-29 is a great example of that. It is amazing to me that some people can even say that.
The game is fine, and obviously doing well enough to be able to keep the trusted staff employed and making the changes that are needed to keep OUR game viable and on-line for hopefully years to come. I guess if you are unable to keep up with the changes, (and I do have good friends on here who want to leave as well), then I guess you should find a game more to your liking. I hear World of Warcraft is looking for a few good Faeries. That's my Two cents.
