How do yo two get in your heads from this one line..
"I could care less if they awarded perks for a reset or not. Would probably be better if they didn't, might stop some of the lame team swaps."
That I've "negated" my whole purpose in posting in this thread? The entire point of the thread was to talk about all the losers whom switch sides to the winning side so they can get their 20 perk points and by doing so kill the ENY of that team.
How do you guys even come up with me not caring about perk points and allowing people to swap teams for a win is somehow negating anything?
I can easily get 20 perk points in a half hour if not more in that time.. Perk points are nothing to me. Seems most of the dweebs that switch teams close to a reset, do it to get their 20 perk points. So as I posted maybe a solution is to not award perk points for a reset.
The problem overall is that because of these dweebs swapping sides soon as it gets close to a reset, well they kill the advance of that team. Just like it did twice to the Rooks yesterday.
It's one thing if someone is tired of a map so they see one team is close to the reset and they go help win the reset. Hell I've done that myself., but I don't just go sit in a tower and go afk when a team is close to reset.
As I posted before at the peak of the second time this happened to the Rooks in LWblue yesterday, there were 179 people in the tower. That wasn't just a one time number it was pretty close to average for that time frame. In fact when I saw 179 in tower I did a sortie of about 10 mins come back look at the tower and it's 179 again. I'm sure that was just a random thing, but it was close to that number for a very long time.
Meanwhile the Rooks had about 100 in flight, Bish had about 60 or 70 and the nits had about 80 in flight . Sure the Rooks happened to have about 20 or 30 more guys in the air, but with 20-25 ENY that's not a big numbers advantage.
Then if you add in the fact that Bish and Nits at that time weren't taking land from each other , so in reality it leaves the Rooks fighting both teams at a disadvantage even though they had a numbers advantage overall.
This is why I posted along time ago, that people whom go AFK or site in the tower more than 10, 15 mins should not be counted against their team in regards to ENY.
Nothing wrong with staying logged in then going AFK I can understand people doing it, specially with the way people get locked out of arenas.. However those guys that do go AFK for extended time shouldn't cripple a team.
I can deal with ENY to an extent I mean myself I could care less in fighters because I fly 20-25 ENY planes all the time. However you try to make a good mission to cap a base and it's close to impossiable.
