Yes...I have read EACH and EVERY line in this thread
First...I dont really have an axe to grind,one way or another. Second I love this Game and Community. Third, I hate losing ANY players, new or otherwise. That being said, I dont understand the rejection of the "give it a go" and lets see what happens. We have an example of "How setting up this experiment in AVA or SE arenas" would go. HT had a SEPARATE ARENA for testing of AH3 running at same time as MAIN AH2. We ALL know how that worked out, most NEVER EVEN attempted to try it out.
Lead to a lot of WTF is this after AH3 went live and AH2 was done away with. As was previously mentioned a TEST would be just that..dont see why folk would quit over it. WE ALL LOVE THIS GAME, and most see a need FOR SOMETHING TO CHANGE! What that something is...I HAVE NO IDEA. I trust HT and crew, and they have my support for life. it just seems odd to me, that suggestions like this are met with such animosity. What I have now..I love...IF THIS or any other changes can/could MAYBE make it better...I AM ALL IN to try it and see. Surely it couldnt be nearly as TOXIC as the GV dar/Radar "TEST" was? I may be wrong on that one, as to "Chess Piece" Loyalists...you would have to change the names. Then again LIMITED TEST....24 hours shouldn't make the sky fall...could it
If it starts to...poof..."back to regular scheduled programming". Sure it sucked when, before Cable TV, when say the State of The Union was ON EVERY CHANNEL and you had to wait till next week to watch the next episode of some show
BUT to my knowledge...NO ONE quit watching TV.
