Don't think I said that they were... and I don't know that they weren't. All I said was people are getting very unhappy over them. The rub is, that that is on top of people already being upset over the change or other problems.
I, personnally, have enjoyed some of the changes this brings. I'm perfectly willing to give it a chance and see how it works. Generally, I like having choice. I just have very little confidence that HiTech will make proper corrections if needed. What they will do, is smash a hammer on what they don't like, not focus on what the customer enjoys.
Overall, my problem is the way it's being implemented, especially with no notice whatsoever. It's like putting money down on a car, then going to pick it up and being told "Surprise, you get this model instead of the one you originally bought!" (Yes, a bit of an extreme analogy, but some do feel that strongly about loggin on to a big surprise)
What really chaps me though is the stated purpose of conditions imposed to manipulate my gameplay, i.e. purposely low arena limits. I don't change countries. I won't go elsewhere to fight in planes I don't like. And I won't play or pay if I can't play with my friends and squadmates.
I'm probably a fanatic about this, but I hate unwarranted coersion, intimidation or behavioral modification in a product that I'm paying for. HiTech doesn't seem to realize they are bucking the social nature of people in some of these things. Half the allure for a great many is the ability to play the game with whomever you choose, whenever you choose, and however you choose. Restrict that and just the ability to fart around in an online virtual airplane sim is much less appealing/addicting to a great many.
