2.2 CENTS PER HOUR

You might consider doing something about the cause of our malcontent instead of just throwing out PNG's and hoping everybody forgets why they're unhappy.

Consider hitech himself said something needs to change in the "this game is dieing" thread I think they ARE infact doing something about it.

You know there is a fine line between constructive and destructive criticism.

Not all that fine, actually. Sometimes crude even.

Arlo, if you have experience in customer services like I do, you'd understand.

Ye gods!  You worked in customer support at some point?  Was it the California DMV?

More likely the Peoria Necromancers Group, judging by Dolby's title.

I remember when it was $6/hour to play Air Warrior on GEnie (which is $10/hour in 2014 dollars).  Some of my pals paid $1000/month (in 2014 dollars) playing it.  We loved Air Warrior that much, but as much as we loved it and revere its memory, Aces High is 100 times better.

To me, an analogy would be that we paid $1000/month to get sirloin dinners many times a week.  Then, 20 years later, we get to pay $15/month for an unlimited amount of prime filet mignon, ribeye, NY strip, and porterhouse.

Some folks in this topic seem to lack passion and perspective.

Ah, rats.  Now I'll never know.  That revelation was akin to learning that Andrew Dice Clay used to work as a wedding planner.

Thankyou Skuzzy , i agree totally , and most importantly i appreciate you and your staff allowing me into your house

[Hap]

Bad folks.  Caustic to all those about them.  They come online and spew on who knows how many sites.  86 them all I say.

This is our house.  If you feel you hate this place so much you have to piss on every positive thing said, then you will be shown the door.

We are done with putting up with the lack of respect shown to us and others in the community.  That goes for the game as well as this board.

If I were a new person and came to this forum, I would head for the hills and never look back.  If you feel you need to run off customers, then please go do it someplace else.

And you guys refuse to read in favor of the international Internet sport of identity politics assassination. So I make satire of your "the personal is ideological" instead. There is only so long you can walk the bleeding edge of the fire before you get caught when business is involved. Sounds just like years ago when Skuzzy invited the old crew to leave the O'Club for Flame Warriors.

They tested Skuzzy's resolve back then in the O'Club and got banned on the spot. And that was only the O'Club. Now it's the whole AH Forums. If you don't learn from history, well, you are doomed to repeat it.

The source of being disrespectful and/or hateful is not anything we have control over.  However, we do not have to put up with the results of it.  No one should have to.

It is one hundred percent counterproductive.

It's a dangerous business being the spokesperson for a group of people especially when some of them are no longer welcome here. But I will give it a shot.

I hate to sound so melodramatic about it but the best way I know to explain what has happened here is to say that some of the playerbase feels they have been pushed too far. The simple truth is that the game hasn't been much fun to play lately (Unless you're a base horder). The dropping numbers of active players have made it harder to find fun in the MA, and have made some of the gameplay issues more obvious as our options for "Doing something else" have dwindled. The major concern has been side switch times. If you look back you'll see that the first few requests for this change were polite and supported by a decent number of players, and those requests were ignored. Right or wrong this latest batch of unpleasantness is largely a product of feeling that you don't give a damn about us.

Yes we're all impressed by what we have seen of the new terrain engine, and yes that is a very big step in the right direction. But if that update is six months or a year down the road then a few small adjustments in the meantime to keep a decent portion of us who are paying 200 bucks a year now interested in the game are needed.

It does not matter what any player thinks may be wrong, if they chose to be disrespectful about it, the message is lost.

Once someone makes the choice to be derogatory, they have also chosen to be silenced.  People who carry this as their nature, look for any reason to spout off.  Today it is the 12 hour rule, tomorrow it will be something else.  Their presence in any discussion reduces the chance of that discussion having any real meaning.

Anyone wanting to have a chance at a real discussion, should welcome being rid of those distractions.

As I said the initial requests were polite, and were ignored. There was no discussion.

I have no idea what you are talking about.
