so perhaps 20 or 30 said they didn't like it since when is this a majority?

Those who have spoken create a majority over those who have not voiced an opinion

Though the 'silent majority' may like the change, their opinion is unknown, therefore cannot
be counted.

I prefer if the time was based of off the numerical player balance of the game. Side switching be used to encourage balanced game play. The problem with an arbitrary time limit, is that no time limit will be correct for all situations.

Well if 6% don't like it, and 4% like it, and 90% haven't said a thing, I wouldn't call the anti-12 hour a majority.  I'd say the "no comment" crowd is the vast majority.

Why, because while many will go ahead and discuss the change, MOST realize that their opinion holds very little weight in the grand scheme of things.

Won't stop them, because of: Teamspeak. Skype. Instant Messaging. The good old telephone.
As a matter of fact, even the 12 hours limit won't stop that. We had constant complaints about spies long before we got the short 1 hour switch limit...
Uh...if they go out of game to find a CV or something, they deserve to know simply for a wasted effort.

We're only on page three, give it time. I think he is referring to the majority who have posted about it.

well then it should be rephrased.  because last i checked some of those up in arms dont even play the game and even the majority of players dont even post.  so you have a really small percentage of people pretending to be the majority. when the fact is most guys really hate when people switch.  just ask around.  most people that talk about helping the low side are just spreading bs around.  they will switch in a hearbeat when it's convenient for them.  seen people land then switch right away bring 262's and go after the buffs, or just switch to get more kills. I have gotten killed many times by some guy that I was fighting with 2 min earlier who switched and many times we had the low numbers.

most guys who post about only switching for the fight and hate the hordes are full of it.  you want proof, if they only cared about 1v1 or some small fights, they would be playing in the ava or mw/ew. but they dont. 

anyway, I am happy for the switch.  and like all of you guys kept saying before  whenever there was a change, adjust, adapt, overcome or quit.  the game will go on without you guys, trust me on this  :bolt:.

Why do you even care? You choose to fly for one country. Great. Many don't like to fly with the horde and actually fight the horde. The worst that can happen is you get better fights. It has nothing to do with 1 v 1, it's about just having fights period.

and how does it stop the fights?  I wanna know because i just logged in for 2 1/2 hours and there was non stopping fighting in one place or another.  and the why do I care?   well I already explained it.

Might be because I never change countries on a very regular basis to suit my own personal profitability, but I like this change a lot.
Wtf does that even mean?

In a nutshell this 12 hour thing is "you can change sides once a day" for most players 8 hours would equate to the same thing.

Indeed

I'm hoping this 12hr change won't affect me too much (I'll just rarely/never be flying on Bish in the future I suppose)   :pray

What game are you all playing here? Every time I log on I can find some type of fight. I think most of you want to find the side with lowest ENY and high perk point value just to get your perks up. Come down from your 30k pick platform and try taking a base, maybe that will start a fight you looking for. If it's all about "The fight" than lets get rid of the score, rank and name in lights thing. $29.99 eye test at Walmart for those who cant find a fight :salute
