Cant help thinking that a percentage of those that say there is no issue with it exploit it themselves.

Giving out the equivalent of free 262s is not cool any way you slice it.

A technique I noticed in these forum's is to blast a point that is common sense and try to make the requestor look like an idiot for suggesting it.  No people should be able to exploit the game in absurd  ways. That is common sense and should be fixed.

Ha! If it doesn't bother you, you must be doing it.

You and triton should hang out.

Well that's a logic leap. The reason a lot of players in this thread aren't fretting is that the time and effort perk-farm dweebs waste on getting to fly a 262 is likely wasted on their first flight. Also, why is there a portion of the community suddenly up in arms over something they simply didn't realize a few gamey gamers were doing last month or even further back? Meh.

Not me.  :D

The perk system is fine. Gamey gamers are their own worst enema.  :aok

Agreed sir.

I think it's a fairly simple solution.  You should only be able to use the perks in the arena that you earn them in.

This seems like the most common solution. Also seems likely the best to implement.

Exactly, they aren't free ... and nobody in this thread suggested they be.
Oh you didn't advocate specifically for free 262's, but the net result of shade vulching is perk gain on steroids.  My use of free might be liberal, but I think you get the point.  Nice dodge though.   :)

Perks were designed to be accrued through kills .... period.
 :huh

Kills period, huh?  Cool.  Make the case that the perk system was designed with the shade vulcher in mind.  This I gotsta see.  

So is squad side swapping/vulching each other or buying your kid an account and teaching him how to dogfight the repetitive way or getting your fiance' an account so she can sit naked next to you while you vulch her as she soon figures out what being married to you is going to be like.
  :rofl

Because this thread and many others included righteous indignation about little kids learning the game and naked significant others.  Do you know what a strawman is?   :P

Presuming it's not more vulching in that, as well, to pad the perks,eh? Not worth a lost nights sleep.
 Don't confuse my fussing on an online forum for something that makes me lose sleep or kick my dog.   :)

Gimme at least one or two a week. I got some catching up to do with squadies who've splashed them in a -1.  :aok

I await your reply sir!    :salute

Given the direction you tried to take this conversation I'm not surprised.   :)

Naked fiance..  :rofl

I do appreciate your use of  :aok.  It gives the conversation a slightly more civil tone.   :aok

Teach that to sukov.   :aok

But to the point, you never explained how the perk system is based on kills... period.  I'd honestly like to understand how the system was designed to include people shooting down defenseless drones.  

Don't worry.  I'll wait.   :)

Do you not know how to earn perks at all?  Fly the early war hanger queens. :D

Yes!   :aok

Just add in a low ENY uber ride of your own creation and control for you to shoot down using said hangar queen turd.

Now... walk with me here... tell me how the above scenario is fits into the intended use of the perk point system.  You can do it!   :aok

Shade accounts and gay marriage are similar issues in that...
