kids ruin the game? I think so. I base this assumption on Getbacks thread. I'm curious what you think.
BTW kid is defined as under 18 :salute

It's spread across all demographics.
...remainder of post will stay in my head because I'd rather not get rule #'d by Skuzzy...

PM me then. I won't report you. I honestly want and value your opinion.

Kids do not ruin the game. Idiots do that and they come in all ages.

I agree, its not just one group that is at fault. If your going to blame a group, blame "gamers". Gamers are a different breed and play the game a different way.
Gamers play to win, and that means by any means possible. Simmers on the other hand are all about "how" you play, the end game just isn't that important.

No, grumpy old men do. The most annoying, thoroughly disturbed players had always been "adults".
Seriously, we need as much kids as we can get to keep this game alive. Get ‘em while they’re young!

I agree with Fugitive. :salute

I've found younger players need more attention because they need help or are curious about the mechanics of the game. On the other hand I've found far more cry-babies who are adults, matter of fact I cant think of any younger players that were cry babies nearly as bad as the adults.
I agree, get more kids! :aok :D
-
:lol I have to admit you guys do have some good points. Gawd I hope I'm not turning into a grumpy old man :noid
I kind of agree with Fugi too, but I tend to think of most if not all folks under 18 as gamers. I forget that gamers come in all ages I guess. Then again Snailman is right about keeping the game alive and Smokinloon is spot on about crying adults...Maybe I should have replaced the word "kids" with "gamers" instead? :headscratch:

Someone last night complained he had to fly far to find a fight. I assumed he was young, he was definitly a Noob, but wanted instant gratification like the Xbox genertion does. :x
That doesn't bother me as much as the so-called "Veterans" of the game that puff out thier chest and name call everyone that doesn't have thier K/D ratio. :neener:
-
OK gentlemen clearly it is NOT fair to say that "kids ruin gameplay". Ty for the responses and enlightenment :D I am off to bed :salute

I'm 52 and completely disagree.

im in my early 50's, i know guys as old and older then me, that are the dweebiest players around. they pick, they HO, then they scream about ethics, and how the game has degenerated, but only when they get beat. i try to lead by example. sure i ho on occasion, i pick on occasion too. but i don't scream or yell when it happens to me, i just up a new plane and start over.
i think blaming the younger crowd is a way of excusing that particular persons behavior. there are bad players of all ages, as fugitive said. picking on the young players is just a way of justifying that they, themselves, are crappy players.
-
I don't think under 18's ruin the game in general. Lame gamers/gaming-actions exist throughout every age group gaming.
The only people that ruin the game are the ones that hold the trigger down on the first merge.
-
Personally, I think the game is suppose to be an on going battle. It was in the old days. I don't know what Hitech and Pyro where shooting for when they first started, but that's what we had.
I understand we need new.blood to keep the game alive and growing as well. What I would like to see changed is the game score/reward system. Make it so that combat is rewarded, and work around that avoid combat are penalized.
Most gamers "play to win". Whether that means a better score, perks, name in lights,.or win the war, they have their goal and do what ever it takes to get there. What if a kill only counts toward the name.in lights.if it happens 1 mile away from a base? Vulching may cut back. What if the last person to command a cv loses 25 perks if.the cv is sunk? I bet more people would avoid playing chicken with them or running them into the shore.
Sure there are players who don't care about score, but most of.them are.here to fight, and those that are here just to grief others well, that what mods are for I think.

I've played since I was 13, and everyone's always loved me. :D
-
no i do not think kids ruin the game------it ruins the game for the kids when others of various older ages jump on them-chew them out,etc.i know 1 player that stopped letting his kid play for a long time when the kid actually got cussed by an older player.i think anybody who pays should get to play without being griped at.

:aok :aok agree 100%

I happen to like 14 year olds... :banana:

Kids come in all age brackets.
It is fair to say that immaturity kills the game, not kids.

I think its great the amount of "kids" that play the game.......Look at it this way, they could be playing any other game online, but they chose AH a WWII sim. Anything that sparks intrest in the younger generation to help keep the memory alive of what the real guys suffered thru, imho can be seen as a great teaching tool, not only a game. I give AH alot of credit in my young sons love of everything WWII aviation. Sitting on my lap when he was younger (5 or so),watching me play put the history in a format that made it intresting. Not a old history book,or an old TV program, but something new and exciting to watch. Hes now 11 and can (and has) had intelligent conversations with veterans regarding their experiances in the war.
Its us older folks responsibility to help kindle the flame of intrest in these younger gents that play the game......answer a question, help them out, be a little patient when one acts their age etc.......Like I said, they are the next generation.
Proof.....my sons room :aok

I like your remarks Mbailey, and your sons room for that matter :lol Forgive me if I sounded harsh on the kids but I'm just trying to make reason out of why someone would feel the need to hide boats in mountains or jump sides to sink them. I find it..well sad that grown adults would these things. I would expect it out of A 14 yr. old but not out of adults. The only thing I can figure is that the importance of score/rank must be it. Whatever the reason is behind it, I wish it could be remedied because it turns off the honest players which IMO isn't healthy for the game. It just sets a bad example.

Ah, the Dell keyboard...all of our schools have them, and I've probably typed the most on one of those...possibly because I "borrowed" one and still use it. :lol

For some, maybe it is score/rank. For others, it's just straight up dweebishness. They enjoy wrecking others' enjoyment. It's a fact of life with online gaming sadly.

Children are the lifeblood of the game's future. The number of people who play air combat sims is perpetually declining, and it is imperative to have a new blood to make up for all the older players who play less and less. Many of the AH players were from AW, and were kids then. They don't live forever and their lives change, the game needs the kids to keep it going.
-
Yes Wiley I suppose you're right.
-
Kids do not ruin the game. Idiots do that and they come in all ages.
:aok

I don't know who it is as far as demographics. I can't blame any age group. It's folks that take advantage of low numbers and side balancing.

honestly, it sounds like you have a lot to learn about human nature!
it's a sad fact that people (in general) will behave as badly as they are allowed to

Lets just say that all the planes he has arent just for looking good When he was younger he played with them alot.........He has a few that ive rescued and put on the shelf in my office, and a couple more held together with hope and testors glue :lol

Ultimately i knew what you were getting at, I didnt take it as bashing the kids.<S> I think you statement above reflects more of what you were looking to say

Never had any hassle from a kid in this game, the grown ups sure do cry a lot though! :old:

Chat model and the elitist goofs do more to screw this game than young people.
There are so many games out there that young people who are an issue won't stay long. We outlast most or they get it over time.
I think long term members behaving badly in 200 and team chat are more damaging overall. The media they play in while being goofs is the most visible to new gamers on the servers.
I find it funny that you think it's only young people doing silly stuff. You simply only have to listen to 200 for a few minutes to see a number of older people who think they are still funny and hip. Sheep, yes many of you are sheep :)
