So here we are, HTC now doing experiments in the forums, locking, banning & people getting nasty.
A new map comes out and WHAM!!!! were right back to square one it seems. Is there a pattern here?
I for one have to start asking some questions because I honestly believe this WHOLE community is on a downward spirial.
NO, I'm not try to be negitive nor do I want any harm to come to HTC and it's players. I still to this day wish this would become the best wwII combat sim of all time. I have stated this from the beginning and anyone that knows me in the game {and in R/L} knows that I have always felt this way.
Of course just like any other human with feeelings or a conscience I too have lashed out, told off, defended views, screamed bloody murder, felt belittled, left-out, unimportant and so on.
The whole big picture I'm trying to paint here is just this, IMO ever since {I know AH1 had it's share of issues & complaints} AH2 got released the entire {for the most part} community has been up in arms, so to speak.
Please do not confuse this with "gameplay" issues or "the Rooks have more players than us" arguments. It goes way deeper than that. It's the whole underlying issues of this community as a group and a team.
Bottom line it seems, is that there appears to be so many unhappy people in this game {and YES there are truley happy people also} it's as if thier affraid of what might happen or won't happen. So when someone makes a statement about the game that they don't agree with their all over um like stink on you know what. Then comes the pour of "go somewhere else buddy" we don't want YOU here, thats the last thing we need is for someone to "rock the boat" a bit.
That's why I call it a shame, I don't have all the answers for HTC only they know where they want to take this game and it's players.
Maybe {just a thought} instead of using up time and energy to ban, lock, kick, complain and whatever else HTC wants to do with the BBS. Just think if you channeled all that energy and enthusiasm into a giant brainstorm of help, information, insight and whatever else all these great minds seem to have and help make AH the game it can be and everyone want's.
My 2 cents
