 :rolleyes:  (Feel free to explain because it went over my head at warp speed, Scotty.)

Arlo doesn't discuss. He leg humps and uses ad hominem as a bludgeon. 

Not worth reading. 

Meanwhile, some of us are having a discussion.  Feel free to ignore, but to suggest I leave is a bit lame.  I don't recall a fee being charged or required to post here.

Really wanna know what the biggest crutch in AH is?
Over reliance on a favorable ENY.



HQ being down. Particularly on large maps with the current low numbers is another story

I can't count the number of times I complain about someone I have on ignore as not having a fruitful discussion with me. And lawd knows that someone who is nothing but disruptive in a community being asked to leave is as unfair as that same person suggesting everyone cancel their subscription and leave with them unless they are personally catered to by the game developers (for the sake of the community and all).

I hate ENY.   It is a joke.   Let it roll.  When ENY goes to 29 it kills all the fights.  What's the point?

Yes it is a crutch, for those who want to handicap other players.   Let it play out.   We penalize with ENY and then make balance harder than needed with side switch limits.   

Absolutely mind boggling logic.


I'm sure Arlo has the answers.  /sarc

I personally believe that forum access should be tied to subscription status. However, that idea was unanimously decried by the community (see my thread in the wish list forum).

Considering that, the community isn't really upset about ex-subscribers that post (otherwise they would have supported the idea), they simply don't like people that disagree with them, a majority going so far as to promote or even request said dissenters be banned. Ironic, considering they can't figure out why new players don't want to stay.

Carry on.

Um, others can read Skyrr's post. Having me on ignore doesn't change that.

Squad recruitment is something player can do (and have done) to help numbers. We're talking the personal face-to-face kind. Some of us may have to get out more anyway and we all have real life friends, right? Bound to be a few that have similar interests and may have flown a flight sim or two. Too embarrassed to admit you're an AH junkie? Tell 'em about the 2 free weeks and make sure you're there for `em as they try it.

Now about the griefers and spoilers ... doesn't anyone enjoy hunting the misbehaving kids anymore? That used to be a fun game unto itself.

At least 75,000 less K/Ds in 4/15 LWA then in 4/14 tour for a rough count of 420,000. I wouldnt even want to compare it against the Aprils 7 or 8 years ago when we'd get 1.5 m. Were rapidly approaching the 3/4'th of the game gone mark. Its simple math.
