Fix The Roster

[Mongoose]

  When the stars were added to the player names in the roster, it made it harder to find a player.  The stars mess up the sorting order.  Names with no stars are in alphabetical order, followed by names with one star in alphabetical order, followed by names with two stars, etc.   When there are a few hundred people online, it makes it hard to find the one I am looking for.

I wish for the roster to be fixed, so that all names are in alphabetical order, without regard to how many stars a name has.

Achievement level indicators. When you have "achievements" open on the clipboard, click "reputation".

The benefits of the achievements (for me), are two things.. mainly.

#1 The historical ones, like 17 kills in a 109F in a 24 hour period. Or 80 kills in a WWI plane etc. Sort of encourage you to go outside of your comfort zone.
#2 I get to learn about the names of the pilots who achieved these feats, and then look up their name after I get the achievement and learn more of history. I find that as an unexpected benefited of the achievements.

Many were against the achievements.. I understand why, but I don't think they are bad.. but a way to get players out of the same ole same ole routine, and get into something new to liven up the gameplay.  It works for some and not for others, but at least it is fun

Stars were put in place to keep the X-box generation around so they could feel good about themselves.  More stars=more special!

Didn't know that Lusche.  Thanks. 

I've never much cared about the stars or the achievements, though I understand and appreciate that some do.
