I am not a fan of ENY. I understand why it is there, I am not convinced it works as intended and I am still not a fan
I agree that as a community the player base is incapable of policing itself. Most are here for their own gains and don't
really care about whether the other guy is having fun or not.
- If they are runners they will find a plane to run in - ENY or not. I have seen slow planes run from slower planes. ENY will not affect that. It is their $15
- If they are buff pilots and prone to avoid conflict they will still milk run and bail. ENY will not affect that - It is their $15
- If they are GV drivers they will still look to spawn camp where possible. If they cannot spawn camp they will try to get a high value tank and sit on tarmac to tower at the first sign of trouble. ENY will not affect that. - It is their $15
- ENY exists to encourage players to level the sides by joining the low side. It does not work. In fact, I change sides a lot to go to the low pop side and I get regular abuse about being a spy. - Hey, it is their $15
My belief is that despite the good intentions it actually does little in terms of game play.
ENY, however, is not killing this game. The player base is! We would do well to put more effort into that than worry about ENY. But you know the biggest stumbling block to that is........yep. it is their $15.
People care about themselves. It is the way the world is sadly.
