I didn't say it.  I don't care if you vultch as it's part of the game.

All the Best...

Right, but just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. It's MA slum behavior. I'll go a step further and say that if HT continued to track individual stats, but removed # rankings completely, you'd see this type of behavior fall off a bit.

Note, I'm not talking about the guys doing a base capture. They'll always vulch perceived threats. To an extent, I feel their pain. A year or 2 ago when I still did base captures, I've felt the frustration of a single il2 shooting the 10th troop before he could run in.

I'm talking about the guys that show up specifically to vulch (or runway bash), but don't have a defense better than nose down, run away, stick stirring. They need to have their motivation take from them and learn to play before they get burnt out never actually accomplishing anything.

Like I said, just come fly with me. You'll have some fun. I was on bish in midwar for a few hours last night. Flew for a bit with Trikky running some heavily outnumbered defense on the south coast, followed by a good cv vs base fight.




and yeah Jaxxo, ndy = me. I'd do alot better if I stopped obsessing about making sure everybody I shoot goes down... need to just shoot them & move on quickly :( Seems like every day somebody different has my number. Was Ball on Monday, you on Tuesday, and Wmaker last night. Fun fightin' though, and I've probably learned a bit more in the last 3 days than in the last 3 weeks.

The lower populations have made milkrunning and hording worse, not better. A squad of 6 in the old MA was just a bunch of guys looking for a fight, good time, and occasional base capture. In an arena with only 30 players, 6 is now a "horde."


Your quote above proves my point.  In the days of old MA those 6 guys would be 10 to 20 guys.  6 guys vs one is manageable, albeit difficult but doable.  Much over that, 10 for example gets to be a bit much.  By no means is 6 people a horde you are reaching there a bit.

I will agree with you that the only time the lower nunbers help for milk running etc, is when there are 6 or 12 guys a side and all 12 or 24 of them want to take undefended bases.  Yes I have seen this in off peak hours in EW and MW.  It was appauling to say the least.  I couldnt believe no one could be coorced to fight.  I actually went to LW and found some good fights.  For the majority of the time - US pirme to be exact - this is not an issue because the like minded people that want to fight out number the timid milkers.  So for me, it has gotten better.

buhahaha!

See, if only you were in a megasquad you could have run away in immunity.  It is the safety in a school of fish approach.  So many targets that you can hide in the middle going round in circles and chances are that you are not the one to be eaten.
