grow a pair and be with the horde or fight against the horde but please stop whining that there isnt any fights.

A substantial group of the quality A2A guys has left the game over the last few years, whats left isn't really up to it, nor will it ever be. There is fights yes but the quality of them is rubbish by and large. I don't know why they have left but they have and it has a knock on effect on the A2A guys remaining. There does seem to be a swing to the GV side of things atm but I think thats more to do with A2A players leaving, and what remains is highlighted.

I have found myself thinking recently that the game at the minute is a waste of time, which is a real shame, its not burnout I still get what I want from the game but it just takes a lot longer to get it these days.

Nobody actually kills anyone in a fight.
Nobody actually conquers anyone in the war.
Both sides of the issue are full of make believe heroics.
It's a game, always has been, always will be.
Everyone should just shadup and play the damn game.
Thank you. :D

Heh.  We pause to enjoy a practice-what-you-preach moment!

On the other hand....advancing age does have a calming influence.

I hate that I know that.

Semp doesn't see it that way cuz Semp agrees with Semp

semp in full denial as usual

see the thing is I was never in a world of aces high where there was chivalry and all the battles were 1v1.  never been around when people consistently asked before joining in.  never have been around when there were unwritten rules that were followed.  never been around when players didnt complain about the lack of quality fights.  never been around when there was no dweebs that ho'd, vulched, horded or dive bombed into cv's.  never been around when the new players spend hours and hours training in the ta so they were experts when moving to the ma.  never been around when 200 was used only for the purpose of congratulating the other player on a battle well fought.  never been around when you didnt had to "settle egos" in the DA.  never been around when the buffs didnt destroy the hangars so as not to "kill the fight".  never been around when there wasnt any whiny experts complaining that the "old days were better".

how can I be full of denial of something I havent experienced?  I only got here 7 years ago.  was a rook back then and we horded 40 to 50 planes at a time to take a base.  we steamed rolled for hours with little to no opposition.  rooks back then won 9 out 10 maps.  we had campers and ho'ers, and kamikaze bombers and dweebs who couldnt fight out of a wet paperback.  we had guys complaining about the lack of following the rules.  we had guys who constantly complained about the lack of quality fights.  we had the euro players constantly complaining about the lack of numbers.

for all of you guys who knew aces high when it was a gentleman's game and saw it it going down hill, I salute you.  now shut the hell up, man up and either quit or quit whining.

You can't fight so you would never know.
