Some people have been doing this since the beginning of Aces High going Live

I have seen more in the past few months/year then I have in the entire time I have played.

Noticed this last night, I was hovering around 15K over my countries city and noticed some enemy B24's over it. I started to head towards them and noticed them making their drop from afar, but by the time I got close within the "proxy range" they had already dropped/bailed. Unfortunate, and I did not record it.

It's been "becoming more popular" since about 2000 or so.

It's always been around, there are just times where you seem to run into a bunch of them over a short period.  Just the way things are.  I don't think people who disliked it before are gradually becoming ok with it.

What would be accomplished from recording it?

People get to name the person and feel superior to them.  Maybe even name them on channel or the forums!  It's very exciting when it happens, and it greatly impacts the person's gameplay style once they've been shamed.  Really!

I could do this and become (in)famous?

And why are we not shaming people who auger their fighter\bomber to cut out the time it would take to RTB and land before moving to a field under attack that needs uppers ASAP? You are gaming the guys attacking an undefended field they think they will overwhelm and not have to fight for. If it mattered to Hitech he wouldn't allow bombing and bailing or augering and defending. What about all those fighter guys who might be missing the chance to get a kill on one of those augering defenders who chose not to spend the time to RTB? What about all those tankers who are suddenly alone because the enemy bails to go defend a field? What about their potential kills?

Next thing someone is going to wish for cockpit nanny's that report your name and indiscretion on text to shame you into proper group think for the granny nanny's of this game.

I just wish the idiots that do this would go offline, or setup their own arenas in the free area where they can go and take undefended bases and bomb towns without any worry of people attacking them.

The game actually has these things built in so you don't have to ruin a perfectly good combat arena with your timid and anti-social behavior.

^This! (I've always appreciated Bustr's perspective.)

I am pretty sure we will if things keep progressing in future.

Maybe they should be taught how to gun those big girls.

Now, that sounds more creative than the 'shame-game.' 

[puller]

I haven't had a bomber bail on me all year...

This whole thread is troll bait....
