I like the ENY just the way it is set up now.

The goal of ENY is to get players to switch sides, but it sounds like most players simply fly higher ENY planes for the same side.

Therefore, ENY does not accomplish its main goal, which is to balance the numbers.

It does accomplish the secondary objective, which is to handicap the dominant country with fewer perky planes.  But does that matter if one country outnumbers the others?

The way it is now, you could only possibly switch 4 times in 24 hours. I think 3 hour switch times, so 8 switches per day, would make this more viable. There are many reason why people don't switch. Hell the hoard could be on the other team while the side with eny cap isn't doing anything strategic, therefore, there would be no point in switching.

I don't really care about eny, I'd rather see more planes get perked to begin with.

That is BS and why people log off or quit.



Change planes. If you log, you're a loser.

It also handicaps the country with the large numbers forcing them to either log, or fly higher ENY planes. I think it works fine as it is, but I fly US prime time or weekends so I don't see big swings in ENY.

Should my team get an ENY restriction I just fly a different ride. The only people who are bothered by ENY are those that cant fly something other than their favorite ride.

I been playing so long that good aircraft becomes too easy. Very few times does eny prevent what I would fly. I do understand players that only want to fly ponies and the effect of non peak hours. No way would eny prevent me from playing.If this game does not grow in player numbers the community could form a draft that rotates. Squads would be picked for sides and fly the country for a 3 month season. It would require some work to do that but most squads might be ok doing that, if it would balance out eny and promote all 3 countries having a chance at winning a map.

Although ENY can be annoying at times I never log off just because of it.  I think it functions pretty well as it is. My two cents.   :grin:

I am growing tired of this non-argument.   When players logoff for whatever reason it hurts the game.  When my opponents logout over ENY it hurts my ability to find a fight. 

When I logoff because every time I am on we are being pummeled with ENY that hurts the game.   If we had an RPS I would be ecstatic.   But since we don't, when my ride isn't available 75 percent of the time I am simply not interested.    That hurts the game, too, for those wanting people to shoot at...

With all the lovely aircraft available in this game, one wonders...why would someone refuse to fly anything but one plane...?

Its not a "non-argument" as you put it, you log off and so are hurting the numbers. Easy fix, fly something else, and we have one more player looking for a fight.

As I said, give me a rolling plane set and I am all over it.  Otherwise I want to fly the ride I am trying to master.  Not much else interests me, particularly shelling out my $15 month in and month out only to be ENYed to death.

I will do something else with my time until this gets fixed.

ENY isn't going to change. it is here to stay. Either get use to it and fly something else, log off and pout in the corner, or take your money and go.
