Zoney No matter the thread, no matter the topic, no matter the poster, this game is full of haters. There are many topics or information or questions we would all love to post, but every thread in here gets trolled by those haters. Ask a question of score: you are a score potato, mention K/D you are a running wussy, Best to just shut up and not partake in this community, they basically are not very nice. The good peeps in this game are usually quietly working in the background, helping new players via Pms or vox etc. No point saying anything in the forum, somewhere somehow they will ridicule you.
I started many years ago in Fighter Ace, watched the haters destroy the community through the forums and through in game harassment. Why would any noobie sign up for this game, they read ch200 chat, (which is appalling full of misogyny, racism, homophobia and ad hominem attacks) they read the forums and just go no way am I setting myself up for that crap. Even in the last two years the number of players online at any time has reduced. When I started, 2 rooms usually full 2-300 each room EVERYDAY! nowhere near that now. I joined mainly because in my timezone (Australia) there was 150-200 players, now lucky to have 60 and so spread out takes an hour to find anyone.
EVERY player in here needs to take a good hard look at themselves and think about whether their actions and chat are promoting this game or forcing people to leave. I'm sure the trolls will be out on this post too, but think before you post, I've seen 1 game fail, not because of the games graphics or game play, but simply because no one wanted to join an online community of haters. Do not let Aces high go the same way, the only way it will survive is with NEW players joining, they only way that can happen is if they are welcomed, not berated or ridiculed.
