Pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbt!  :lol
Fly in the MA..I do...more often than not can't find a fight...in the DA it finds me.
I happen to prefer spending less time getting to a fight, as many do.
There's not really a reason not to...MA folks worried? It wouldn't effect you.
It might actually bring more people over to enjoy some good fights.


If the DA could be coded so that only fights over the lake got ranked as a "fighter" rank, there may be some merit to this as I see it.
But if not, you would get less traffic in the DA, than you already get. No one wants to have their crappy rank from bailing of duelling Krupinski over and over, thrown in their face on 200. The DA is a mano-e-mano place where outcomes are between the parties only. If loss records were kept and published, it would be even harder to get a duel.

The lake is just am small MA furball, with no restriction on perk rides. If you want to keep stats for just that section of the DA, I'm for it, IF they factor ENY into the Rank.

Rank is one of the main things folks complain about when looking for reasons as to why it can be hard to find a 1v1 in the MA.  I could care less if the DA is ranked or scored, but this might be a clear case of "be careful what you wish for".

Flying for score/rank and white knuckle, sweaty palm, 1v1 fights don't have a history of playing well with one another.

Rewarding cruising over 1v1 fights picking in a BnZ bird seems counter to what the DA is for.

Rank is the one reason a lot of folks wont duel people in the MA, That's why I wont go to the DA because they get to set up all their stuff and it doesn't hurt them if they lose.

I only go to duel someone that's in my squad . Seems like the rest of the folk's in the DA like to HO and so on to much .

Not only do I think the DA shouldn't have ranks (or F3 mode), I also think scores and names in lights should be eliminated.

IMO the DA should be all about the fight, not about the egos and if ego is what it's about then that should be between the combatants.
