EGO DEATH

[DmonSlyr]

Not a single person in this game wants to compete anymore. Isnt that sad.... No KOTH, NO 1v1 competition... no monetary greatness..

Look at Tennis, the best players going 1 on 1 all the time, they lose... they win... they lose.. there is a system... They have to put their ego on line for money. They lose and get embarrassed..


We have shunned competition. not a single person has asked me to learn ACM... what is that...   


why doesn't anyone want to learn  ACM anymore? Why doesn't anyone want to compete?

THIS GAME IS NOT OVER

[Bolt]

I'm always down to learn, didn't know you were willing to teach. Willing and able whenever you are 

[caldera]

You seem to be preoccupied with being #1, so you probably shouldn't be throwing stones regarding other's egos.

Professional tennis players get paid to be the best, because that is their profession.
Last I checked, AH is just a game that any absolute noob can play for $15 a month.

And maybe you should make a formal offer for training, instead of berating players for not seeking you out.

Volunteer to be a CM.  Host events that foster competition.

My favorite thing is to just get into a big furball and fight other planes. I don't like dueling - like just for the purpose of dueling. I like 1v1 in game and I love furballs down on the deck where you have to keep your head on a swivel and planes are coming and going.

Yeah its called competing. Perhaps you misunderstood by the point of my post is that all Ego is mostly gone now. Hence Ego death. Hardly anyone wants to learn ACM anymore or wants to be the best without being an Ahole. We use to have 15 players in the DA wanting to learn how to fight. Now there is none.

Tennis is just a child's game too, like all sports, and any noob can pick up a racket and hit the ball...im just sayin..

Ive made offers for years, but the overall trend is that hardly anyone actually wants to learn how to fight anymore. For whatever reason...

Again, you cant put everyone in the same box. Not everyone wants to be a fighter jock of the top notch. Back when you had 15 players in the DA trying to learn we also had 500-700 players in the game. Whats that, 1%?

Most players these days are here just playing ALL aspects of the game and having fun doing it. Its a different time.

Hey, I would like to learn more about ACM, not necessarily to be the best of the best in the rankings, but to be the best of myself as a pilot. In my humble opinion, the camaraderie and fun between pilots in the game is as important as being a good pilot, since we play to relax and get away from the difficulties in the real world.

This game is now mostly played by old men riding into the sunset. It's probably more about making yourself comfortable in your well known cozy gameplay loop as long as it lasts than challenging yourself.

Sometimes I’m only playing the game when I’m over at target and the rest of the time. I’m just going AFK while I get there.

Sometimes I wanna take big heavy jugs and go knock the crap out of things whether they’re important or not.

Sometimes I wanna get in a fighter and shoot every single one of you to the ground.

Sometimes I just wanna get in the tank and then I remember I don’t like doing that anyway why am I doing this? Wirbs I like but not very good.

There’s no right or wrong way to play. Everyone here has probably been playing the game for long enough to know why they still play.

Count me in the club just likes the game the way it is. if you wanna tweak up map up here and there that’s fine by me but other than that I could not care less about the rest.

It is the number one reason I have not flown a sortie in over a year.  As Lusche stated, the game is just the same old people doing the same old comfortable thing.  And as soon as you make them uncomfortable they whine.

AH is the only game where I've seen players get mad that you beat them, then demand you play their way. Sad but real. Then again most of them are close to dying IRL so it probably makes them happy.

"If you can't beat them, chase them off!"

Man idk about that lol

Well, about 90% are seasoned, have done every comp event, many times.

You may be more successful getting that stuff to fly again if we had a lot of new players,.. where its all new to them.

Many who flown 15-25 yrs don’t feel they need to learn or compete, they are set in their ways.
