Why is everyone taking this troll so seriously?

Where I grew up, the measure of a man was his integrity, and how he stood by his word. You didn't say anything out loud that you wouldn't want blared over a PA, and if you wrote something anonymously it meant you didn't have the guts to stand for what you believed.

Anonymous letters are best thrown out unread. They come from people without the integrity to be honest about what they think.

Same goes for this guy. He knows an awful lot about what's going on in the game, yet claims to not play. He ignores every quote from the designers, because they don't say what he wants them to.

If he is a troll, his stuff should be thrown in the trash unread, because it comes from someone who doesnt have the minimal integrity it takes to speak in his own name. If he somehow is a past player, then he has no idea what the game is like now, and his efforts to stir up dissension should be shrugged off.

Just my 2 cents.

SiMuriel,

You are one interesting individual.

You have just dissed about 15 different players for chiming in on what appears to be subject worthy of discussion.

You sound like a bitter individual without real life success. Your rhetoric seems to be an attempt to raise your status by finding fault in something or someone. Maybe even a touch of OCD in that rant and rave?

"If you don't have something constructive to say, don't say anything at all."

Personally, I think Simaril is spot on.

Not sure why I am feeding the troll.

Sheer boredom possibly?

Taking bases, tank fights, etc, gives us a context in which to HAVE dogfights

Boo Hoo Lute. You had some decent comments in this post. I thought you had leadership qualities, but it appears one small pull and you regress.

I don't believe this guy is just trolling... At first I did but he has followed up with some decent observations and questions.

As an observation, I saw Hitechs post about the main focus of the game being Air Combat VS. Win the war. It is however the "Win the war" motive that should create the opportunities for all types of air combat.

Let me explain:

The drive to capture bases would encourage bombers to take off to knock out hangars and towns to make them softer targets. Some guys (Like me) love to defend against bombers. - opportunity for air combat

Someone must de-ack a field to keep the enemy down and drop any stray vehicles, these are the JABO and canon armed fighter/attack planes. - another chance to defend and engage in air combat.

Within this mix there will always be an opportunity to engage in dogfights because of the variety of aircraft needed to "Win the war". I could be wrong (And God himself knows I have been wrong a time or 2 in my life) but I believe that if this game was strictly a furball game, its' time would have come and gone long ago. The variety involved in a multi-faceted game gives you enough of a choice to hold your interest for a longer period of time.

I do wish there was a larger incentive to "Win the war" I really believe it would encourage harder fighting on all fronts. I also wish the strats in the game actually affected conditions significantly. In Air Warrior, I LOVED knocking out the spit factory. On large raids there would be huge opportunities for fights for any of our escorts that tagged along.

I think many of the dedicated furballers see the "Win the war" types as killjoys and as less than pure warriors and I think they are missing opportunities for different styles of fighting (Including dogfights) because some of them want to take off, climb 4K or so, slug it out 3 to 8 miles from base and maybe return home and thats fine but it by itself should not be labeled as the only valid "Air combat"

I have been playing these games since the DOS days, I still am, just not this one right now... I think people jump into one camp, one style of play and for them that must be the style of play that counts the most.

Heres a parting shot: No matter what style player you dislike in the game, they are ALL helping to keep the lights on at HTC.

No, he's a tool.

How do you get the person name to show up in your quote? like "originally posted by bla bla bla?

Mr. No Name,

I you. I realize there are a lot of kids in this game and getting any type of meaningful dialogue is an uphill battle. Nice to see there is another adult willing to look at the big picture.

Your elegant explanation may make sense to some of these knuckle heads. Thank you for your thoughtful insight.

P.S. You also have an very unique name

I must be on the ignore list because I made those points in my first post
