If you want to come here and just say that I'm stupid and I don't understand what I'm talking about that I'm not going to argue with you

Twice in this thread you've suggested I called you stupid. The number is in fact 0, so far. I did call you a freak for trying to use the word gay as an insult. Which would seem fair and appropriate under your own rules of engagement which you stated earlier to the DGE. I also call a spade a spade. If you don't like to be called a spade either don't act like a spade or accept you're a spade.

I've been playing since 2001 and I've never had an issue or complain about e n y before. I see what it's doing in the game and I see that it doesn't work.

Yeah for you. Every inconsiderate person would like adjustments to favour themselves. We know you think you're right. That largely comes because you can't listen to others, don't know the difference between criticism and a personal attack, your critical thinking is cack and you can't discern that an uninformed, myopic feeling is a completely different thing from a well-argued and evidenced position derived from an actual discussion.

Have a nice day!

You have zero reading comprehension.

I've said over and over again that I don't think Dale should listen to anybody's opinions and make decisions based on what they say here on this forum. I think he should run statistics in the game to see how ENY IS actually affecting the numbers in the game as it kicks in at various levels when numbers are low.

My thought is that people will sit in the tower and eventually log off after it reaches a certain level  and that they will never switch sides to balance the numbers.

Also suggested taking polls directly in the game. Not on this forum where there's a bunch of people who don't even play anymore. This forum has a few vocal people. I think that he should listen to people in the actual game.

Another Cool change would be to have a place on the forum where we can filter out people who don't actually play the game. Maybe just for paying customers.
I think it's odd that people who have not played the game in years and have no real plans to play it again are over here throwing their opinions about current game play around.

That would be like me hanging out in a Jeep Wrangler forum and arguing with current Wrangler owners about features on their Jeeps. I had a Jeep Wrangler in 2008 so I still hang out and give my opinions like I'm relevant.

I've made suggestions for the game that I feel would be good for the game. Like the AI game feature assistance for in-game use that I suggested a couple months ago. Now we have Crew Chief.

On ENY, I think Dale might make an adjustment for when the numbers are low. I appreciate that he's said that.

I've been a supporter of  the game and of HiTech for a long time. I have a love of the game and want to see it succeed. I like Dale and support him too. I have empathy for the things he's gone through and I'm excited that he's back in action.

Only if the new Jeep Wranglers had a completely revolutionary structure, propulsion, driveline and controls. Otherwise the experienced ones would continue to know what they're talking about now wouldn't they.

It's spooky how you think that happened isn't it. I daresay you'll get a mention on the next splash screen!  :banana:

Just to clarify, you're saying you're a reasonable, level-headed, respectful contributor who only has the best interests of the game in mind and get's unfairly attacked continuously by non-paying barstards with nothing good to say? Weird!

I'll probably be done arguing with you soon because really you're not that interesting. I've never said that I'm unduly attacked or anything such. I have a thick skin.

I did notice that you have never once even made any kind of arguments disputing anything I've said about e and y. All you've done is posted about me basically.

During the times that I wasn't actively playing the game, I never even thought about coming to this section of the forum. I was in the old club. I find it interesting that you hang out here and blow smoke up Dale's ass.

Yeah probably pretty soon...

I'm not going to argue with you.... 
...I'm not going to argue with you.

If you want to come here and just say that I'm stupid and I don't understand what I'm talking about that I'm not going to argue with you

This is like mocking the afflicted at this point.

seriously, the only thing you've added to this thread is conflict. You've not responded to a single point made about ENY, nor offered an opinion on anything other than me, my forum and my posts.

And you have no skin in the game. Go be an irritant somewhere else. Your input is not useful.

seriously, the only thing you've added to this thread is accurate criticism of a disingenuously-presented proposition disguised as what's good for the game

Disingenuous? I've said don't listen to my opinion - I suggested to look at what ENY does in-game when is hits at various levels when numbers are low and make a decision based on that.

I don't see players switching sides when ENY hits hard when numbers are LOW.   I see them logging off. That's anecdotal, but that's my feeling. That's what I do

I don't normally fly low ENY planes. I think I most fly the p47 D-40

I don't have an issue with ENY when numbers are high, but I never fly when numbers are high. My issue is when there's a huge empty map, no gang bangs and I see ENY penalizing players that are on a side that has maybe a few more players than another with no realistic remedy in game other than deal with it.

I've presented points and ideas for remedy. At least I play the game and I am telling you an honest opinion. NShidder has not offer a thing other than to talk about me personally.

Balancing the sides doesn’t necessarily mean switching sides. Why do you hang on that?

It’s balancing the options. It guards against all of us who don’t ever wanna switch sides and protect and rewards those who do.

You can’t seem to understand that it’s not the ENY limiting anyone. Only the player can limit themselves. I know that’s a bit of a metaphysical hurdle for some it takes a few minutes to think about it.
