Who Loves ENY?

[Arlo]

I could switch sides for free. I just couldn't do it willy-nilly. The reason the system is what it is and has been for awhile has been explained (thoroughly and reasonably). Switching used to have a 12 hour restriction. Life is good. Amen.

Side switching?  What is that?

There have been a scant few times that ENY has kept me from using the B-17 or B-24 (and it's rare for me to use the 29 to begin with).  If it did, not like I had a shortage of bombers to choose from.   The 20mm on the Ki-67 and G4M1 still surprise folks, thinking they had easy meat.

With smaller numbers in the MA compared to say the LWMA split arena days. I wonder back then if ENY helping players to side switch was easier because the country populations were out of scope for the Dunbar's Number principle. With a smaller population most players in each country know each other well enough that Dunbar's Number is met in terms of social relationships. Social relationships are a strong factor with smaller groups including identity or in our case country loyalty. Just another way to describe loyalty to people you are close with.

So maybe ENY needs to have some flexibility to reflect the human nature of Dunbar's Number. I cannot believe everyone throwing down with Hitech in this case is just about launching a few shots to get even and sour grapes over the past. I also don't think ganging up on Hitech with 50mm I'm unhappy cannons will convince him of much.

But wasn't it also just 1 hour time limit during the split arena days?  I remember it being like that at least.  I honestly do not remember when HiTech bumped up the time limit for side switching (to 12 hours), though I believe it was just before or when the dual arena thing was dropped.  Bit foggy on that one.

Some, not all...  Others look at it as an opportunity to expand their horizons a little and get out of the crutch rides...  Only girlymen log..

No matter what anyones opinion of it is, it is driving players out of of the game, its that simple.

Doesnt seem like a good thing to me.

Anything can possibly "drive a player out of the game." Or at least it'll be their excuse. In reality, the player drove them-self (only to haunt us all in the forum). Then there are the players that claim this'll drive them (and others) from the game but stay in neutral while trying to convince the community via the forum that this is driving them (and others) from the game ..... in droves .... huge droves.

Why would they make an excuse as to why they are not happy?

Ive got quite a bit of time flying this month, and the displeasure with ENY on both country and open channel should be a red flag.

scca thats the problem with AH too many girly men!   

who would rather make forum or FB posts than logging in and getting some!

[Zardoz]

ENY doesn't bother me a bit.

[Zardoz]

ENY is fine just the way it is. Only my opinion, but I wanted to say it just to counter all the whining.

Such is human nature, and I have seen this happen more then I can begin to count.

It goes something like this, player is not having as much fun as they used to (in reality nothing has changed with how the game works). Player starts looking for reasons that the game must be making them not having as much fun as they used to. They find something and state it is the reason they are happy. Strange thing is you change it and they still are not having fun.

Odd, I have not heard a single complaint about ENY.  Not for sometime.   Matter of fact, the last complaint on vox was in AH2.

[Lazerr]

You also fly rook, the country that almost never deals with the issue.
