And the proposal to limit, alter, change, delete perk points assumes that everyone, or even the majority are going to be bothered by it.  A lot of people in here (me included) that could care less about perk points.

Now, when/if we ever get more perked planes, and especially perked GV's, it might be an issue, but as it stands now...perk points?  eh, who cares.......

I like the 2 country idea.  Just think, we could have one country with the Allied planeset, and the other country with the Axis planeset and.....

I wonder what would happen to the CT if the MA got closed for a day or two.  Betcha the numbers would remain significantly higher after the MA reopened.

2 countries = 1 big gangbang
Once one team happens to start slidin, where do all the side switchers go?  
it turns into one big snowball... with the end result of 400 v 40

With 2 fronts there is NO escaping the gbang for the whole map

AvA = even worse +)  look at how often the CT is balanced compared to the MA... not even close and thats with many players making an effort to balance things.

Ya... guess what we really need is more scenario's, or even a running scenario (Daily TOD kinda thing)

If second place loses perk points, they will all log off when one country is down to two bases.

Just face it, the majority of the playerbase of AH are pure dweebs who go where the fence is the lowest. Therefore it's never possible to create an enviroment that would be reasonably structured for continuous and fun gameplay.

Whatever limitations are suggested, people are crying hell and cancelling their subsciptions. They use 'I pay my $15' as an argument against anything that would make the game more fun for the other side that also pays the same amount. Whatever changes are suggested, there are always a loud bunch of conservatists who resist any change just for the sake of it. When someone suggests it MIGHT be reasonable to balance sides a bit when it's 100 vs 20, the namecalling starts and the guys with balls fighting at the disadvantage are all of the sudden whiners. The same dweeby GB attitude replicates with UBB responses attacking the few who dare to post their differing opinnions publicly. 'School yard mobbing' is a better name for MA/Ubb very, even too, often.

When I started AH the game had a better atmosphere. Or maybe I was just green and blind at that time.

Maybe it's just boredom to the whole game, who knows, but IMO the atmosphere and dweebyness are at all time high in Aces High.

Maybe it's deep in human nature to join the superior side and take the path of least resistance. I've seen it already in WB before, never though as it has been in AH. It detests me, and with it, the community aswell.

Luckily I'm going to have a forced break in playing and I'm hoping I could find some of the lost fun after my return - if there will be one.

Speaking as someone who used to fly for the purps (purple team) in WB, IMO, going to a 2 country MA was the beginning of the end for that game.  It caused squads to break up and caused many folks to simple disappear and never return....like me.  I do think it would be interesting to see what would happen in AH if certain planes were only allowed to launch from certain bases but that's a different thread.
