Reacher, I have to agree with you. I have read and posted about this and the conclusion was (from Hitech) that AH is suffering from lack of pier
pressure (IE people becoming more aggressive towards each other because pier pressure looses its control in an overpopulated arena, where
a smaller population tends to get along better). Ok, I can understand that conclusion and it makes sense but my problem is with the solution that
was devised to overcome the problem. By solving the aggression, pier pressure issues you have created several more and the trade off just isn’t
worth it, to me anyway. This one solution destroys my reasons for being here in the first place. Squads, eny values, maps, exciting game play,
buddy contacts, large missions, multiple head-to-head action, busy arenas, and everything my squad enjoyed. Yeah, I know, some bleeding heart is
going to post here crying about how they get shot down all the time, and I just can’t take it anymore and how this new setup has enriched their
experience and blah blah blah. To be honest about it, I just don’t care. Go find another game that better fits your reasons for gaming on line. I mean,
I see you posting in here but it’s very hard to find you in numbers that would amount to anything in the arenas and I have been asking everyone
through the country text. IMHO I believe there is another solution that would achieve the same resolve that Hitech wants to accomplish. It’s got
to be tuff to have to make a decision like this and spend the next several weeks defending your position. My hats off to the AH guys. I truly believe
you are looking for a better way for everyone. I think you would achieve the same goal by creating a buddy list that would only allow individuals to
speak with people on their list. Limit it to 200 and you have your controlled environment. Do away with channel 200 and lets move on to the AH game
we have all come to let control our ever waking obviously meager lives. (just kidding guys) Any concept along these lines would be better suited
among the population and we don’t loose the most valuable aspects of your original creation. Keep the other arenas for individual taste and game
play but don’t take our MTV. Can’t you see how it’s destroying the very fabric of humanity? Well, maybe not that bad but it still sucks. Last night I
spent two hours in the DA with the only squad mate I could find out of boredom. Tonight is going to be real interesting as it is squad night for us
and NO, we don’t want to go to an unpopulated arena and fly other planes with our squad being 80% of the arena population. Where’s the fun in
that. Their has got to be a better solution.
