PERK TAX

[Rino]

Yeah ... !!! Who are these people that think Honesty, Fairness, Loyalty, Equality, etc are IMPORTANT anyway? WHERE do THEY get OFF ??? That's stuffs NO FUN anyway is it ... ? (excuse me for defending your (?) right to abuse the game and those who play it ... NOW THAT's FUN !!!).

     What the heck have you been smoking anyway?  Side switching makes no difference to any of the things you mentioned.
Loyality to a chesspiece?   Are you so certain that your chesspiece is the only one that values your beliefs?  Have you ever
switched?  You are not only voluntarily choosing to miss out on meeting almost 2/3rds of people playing the game, but you
want to enforce your point of view on everyone else as well?

     I think you landgrab win-the-war types need to take a chill pill and realize that what's critically important to you matters
not a whit to others.

A better idea would be a Loyalty Tax for people such as the OP.  100% of all perks earned would be sent to the country's "Ministry of Perks" and doled out by the Supreme Commander at his discretion.  Those who don't help win teh war would get no perks ever!

how about just a flat 60 perks to hop. 30 of each catagory

I propose a moratorium on voicing perk envy?

??? MAYBE ??? a PERK TAX should be charged to anyone SWITCHING SIDES in a MAIN ARENA ??? Any such TAX would be figured on a % basis ... Want to switch sides? OK, it will cost you 30% of your perk points ... This would DEFINATELY put a crimp in the perk farming, Spying, and ENY manipulation that Occurs on a regular basis ... Flame Suit Mode initiated.

EVZ, the 12 hour limit that HiTech put into place is enough restriction for jumping sides for the reasons you mentioned.

My advise is try another country for a month or two. Not everyone that switches sides is interested in spying, perk farming, or ENY manipulation.
You will find that your past opponents are just as friendly, cooperative, and helpful as the pilots/gv'ers/bombers you are currently playing with.
Switching sides gives you the opportunity to get to know more players and make more friends.  AH is just a game. I enjoy being part of the competition between countries
but I don't hate any of the players in the other countries. If the squad you are in does not want to rotate countries on a regular basis, then take a leave of absence and go check
out the other countries on your own. You will find that all three countries have good communities and are allot of fun.

My two cents.

If you don't know ... I doubt it can be explained to you ... BUT, it doesn't cost any perk points to try.

So ... How about ... The PEOPLE I play with ???

What about them?  We weren't discussing player loyalty, but rather chess piece loyalty.

For the better part of 10 years I have played with, for and against every chess piece.  I have been with my squad for almost 5 years and speak to some of them more often than I speak to my wife.  I have also met, in person, over a dozen or so members of this community the most recent being my squad leader and his son who my wife and I went to Parris Island to see him graduate from boot camp.

I enjoy fighting with and against all players in the community, regardless of chess piece.  Any loyalty I have is to the game, the fight and the friends and acquaintances that I have made, here.  Any loyalty to a particular chess piece or winning "teh warz"is absolutely absurd.  The biggest reason for this absurdity is that, once the "war" is won, another "war" will ensue only moments after the 1st one is over, time-frame only limited by how quickly the server can defecate another map.

If one limits one's self to being married to a single chess piece, one is missing the best part of this game which is not the planes, country, GV's, graphics or winning "teh warz".  The best part of this game is the people that play it.  Without them, this game would just be another boring arcade piece of garbage.

maybe we should have a fourth country for traitors only , so all three sides can attack them

That made me laugh out loud. You are either a troll, or a squeaker. In either case, you're amusing

Oh I just had an idea, let's flip this one around.  If you want to stay on your current country despite outnumbering the other country you're pounding on it's going to COST you perk points to do it.

oh I like this.
