OOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (and this is only IF I buy into the incessant crying about runners) maybe the cry babies in the game have cried SO much that no one really cares what they have to say any more. If you squeak at a kid long enough he will eventually stop respecting what you have to say.
If some newb logs on and the first thing he hears is complaints about runners, skilless dweebs, and "worthless hoarders" he is instantly alienated because if he fights, he dies and if he runs he's a loser. You are all mostly adults (I think). And I have heard many of you spout off melo-dramatic baloney about honor, and courage (excessively for a game)
and yet here you are berating what many of you agree are NEWBS with no skills. What tough guys we are.
Lead by example and quit knocking others for not playing the way you want them to. Not everyone joins this game to play it like a nintendo game. I certainly didnt play to forever spend my time upping just to get whacked in an impossible situation and prove I have balls to a bunch of cartoon John Waynes.
Which leads me to the next irony, many if not most of the criers complain when "they fly to live" and then complain "they are nintendo kids" who don't really care about learning ACM.
Make up your mind. Either they are adults who choose to fly as an intelligent adult would fly his aircraft. Colmbo maybe? Or they fly like an impetuous kid. It can't be both.
How many fathers with a kid old enough to truly understand the concepts in this game would teach him to jump into a situation without any consideration for the consequences?
The blame for the lack of fights in the MA could also be put on you scorepotatos. When someone new enters the game, they want to be the best.
So you're saying that predominantly adult male population that come here are suddenly imbued with competitive drive AFTER they start playing AH?
Of all the crying and complaining about runners here, I can agree that the DA/lake runners are a lower class of dweeb. The MA
might as some suggest, have been created by hitech with the desire to see all dogfights all the time (and a fantasy world without runners) but that's not how he wrote the rules. So until he changes them, this argument is the most idiotic disease on the bbs.
