There is nowhere near the organizational infrastructure or the desire to create that could absorb a new player base and attract them in any capacity.

Enjoy what we have while we have it.

I dont agree with this at all. There are still quite a few of us who go out of our way to help.

There are the guys who do all the planning and organizing, and scoring for the scenarios, FSO and such.

There are the guys who spend hundreds of hours on map making/rebuilding

The guys who spend as much time skinning planes and vehicles and run the approval process for Dale to add them to the game.

Then there are the guys that post videos, like me, to Youtube to use that platform to get the "word" out there along with social media.

Then there are those guys who maintain sites/servers with info/tips/help about the game. Squad pages as well.

Then those players in game that are always ready to help. Be it with technical issues or if someone needs supplies. We have a lot of players willing to help.

All of this promotes the game. I know I have seen a dozen or more new players come in from seeing posts on social media and youtube, and many more returning players due to the social media side. I know Im always harping on "click like, subscribe and comment!" on my posts about my videos, but each time any of you do those things YOU are helping bring people to the game.

Are we "organized"? Some what, are we "creative"?, every single day!!! Could we do more? Yup, and we are all looking for more ways to help promote the game and welcome new players.

There will always be those that see issues as "the glass is  half empty", then there are those that see issues as "the glass is half full". All things being equal, I would rather be on the Up side. It makes life more enjoyable. :cheers:

This was not a knock on anyone in the community in any way. Without all the sweat equity around here it would be less fun. They are gladly applauded and there’s lots of posts from me doing just that.

The same core still exists. There is clearly no desire from the “company” to do anything to either cultivate or manage a grand new influx of people or improvements.

Unless I missed a memo all these points are moot.

Realistic is not the same as pessimistic.

I like my house. Still bought new shelves for the garage. Also painted some cabinets a few weeks ago.

Sorry to jump in randomly, but count me in the Lil Mak/Vio/Etc camp. Dar settings are hard to deal with when you're trying to fight a swarm taking a base.  And I can easily setup an ambush as a defender is transiting to the designated seal-clubbing base when they pass over that random Cheeto-eating GVer watching porn on his other monitor . :joystick:

If there are 10 players in the MA, there are enough. I will never give up on this argument. Even if it’s 2v1, it gives a large advantage to the side with the greater (local) numbers and is leading to a nearly constant seal clubbing of one side. It’s intuitive without even having to fully understand it. If players can’t comprehend that this is more of a detriment than a feature, it’s my job to point that out continuously until it changes or the game fails completely.
Players can still jump into fights if they have access to AWACS in the tower. They shouldn’t have it in the cockpit unless they’re in a friendly radar ring. The GV issue especially rubs me the wrong way because that player asleep on the couch or eating Cheetos in the kitchen isn’t just flashing the base. They’re painting me on radar showing my type, direction of travel, and that I’m not particularly high to players inbound who are not even in my sector yet.
