I crave more competition!

Maybe a skin allowed for pilots with high-strikes ?
 
neon-green  50 strike-kills
checker black/white 100 streak-kills
red/white checker  200 strike-kills

I do like the idea of the ladder system, whoever said that the learning curve is too steep for the everyday gamer IS correct. Most will not take the time to get good at this game. This idea is just a way for the people who enjoy KOTH to have more frequent events.

Too bad the stereotypes of WoW is such a turn off, I for one used to play and I am not some over weight socially deprived teen who is doing nothing with their life. I also have friends who have played and are going to school to become teachers, veterinarians, and doctors so not all people who play WoW are uneducated, I'm going to school for Network Administration so like I said not everyone who plays that game is a complete loser.

I never called you any names. Again, lack of comprehension on your part. Thanks for proving my point.

I find it hilarious how much of a hypocrite you are though.

"You are quite the tool." that was you.

I haven't called you any names. I have commented on the nature what you've written. Quite different. Again, you lack comprehension abilities. This could go on forever but you clearly don't have anything to  say on the OP issue even if you do finally understand what he means.

You did call him "names," in the sense of the word.  His comprehension is fine, you however, are way out of line.  Irregardless of how indirect your comment was to him, you were just talking down an entire country of people because of something they may or may not value more than yourself.

Ah...the age old conumdrum of being the best. What next? Where to? It's either invent new things to be the best in, constant fruitless struggle to remain static or....just downhill. ouch. 
 

[pluck]

well obviously alot of different view points   On development, who knows if it will draw more players to a niche market.  Would people who are not interested in WW2 era planes/combat become interested if only because of the prospect of getting an online title and a door prize?  If it does, then what affect will it have on the MAs?  Will HTC have to become a larger company....and if so, what effect will that have on all of the services they provide from customer support to in game developments?  Does HT want a whole new set of headaches?

From a personal point of view, the day that HT starts offering door prizes and online titles to people is the day that I think AH jumps the shark.  Moving away from a sandbox game, and into the realm of attempting to attract the masses for the bottom line.  I think as a community, and assuming that this would be widely successful, do we really want many players in game who care nothing of the genre or the game itself, but only for rank/score/title/prizes?  I can think of only 1 time HTC offered prizes....I won't get into how that went.  Heck, I forgot who won.

Not trying to offend Kazaa, but I don't see how wanting more competition, but no added challenge is going to be possible.  Usually with greater competition, the greater the challenge.  In AH, as players get better, they can artificially up both by selecting different planes and by how they choose to fly in game.  I honestly don't think that adding an in game ladder system is going to attract a huge player base, which (in the thread) seems like the motivation for HTC to implement this in the first place. And if it does, it will have an effect on the entire community. Also, there is always the possibility of starting up a ladder of your own.  Ya it takes more more work on your end, and will be tougher to coordinate, but it is an option, especially if you are really zealous about this issue.

A careful read of what he posted shows that he isn't asking for more competition...he is asking for more recognition.

In other words, just getting your name in lights in one arena isn't enough.

Lets briefly consider comprehension and inferrence:

I really love this one.  I won't even edit it:

I quite thouroughly comrehended what you wrote.  You, on the other hand, did not comprehend what I wrote or even what you yourself wrote.  It's beginning to appear that your skills toolbox is pretty light.

As Steve pointed out your sentence completely imploded on itself.
I didn't call you any names, I commented on the nature of what you wrote. That simple. You on the other hand threw out a plethora of personal insults while straight up denying it

"Only the immature, ignorant, unintelligent and uneducated feel the need to resort to name calling.  I see all four shoes fit you."

Possibly the most hypocritical line I've ever read. Stop fooling yourself that you're above me. At least I'm not a hypocrite.

And yet you've still avoided showing me where in the OP it said that this new idea was optional. 

You've not only not appologized when I said I was offended, but continued to offend, not only me but literally every free democracy in the world.

You don't even know when you're calling people names and can't comprehend when you're being called a name.  Nevermind, Steve will point it out for you again the next time it happens. 

I stand by the my statement that you are immature, ignorant, unintelligent and uneducated.  Those aren't names, they are simply observations of your behavior.

Case in point.  In your third reply reply you stated:

Instead of making a dumbazz assumption and getting negative on the thread you clearly dont COMPREHEND why didnt you just ask.

And then went on to continue to insult me.

In my original post I ASKED:

What if I don't want to be on a team...

Well, DUH!  And you talk about MY comprehension skills?

I'm not a hipocrit.  I'm just not willing to let a backwoods Internet hillbilly push me around on the BBs.  BTW, that wasn't a name either... just further observation.

You've stooped to a pathetic level I'm not going to bother following. Enjoy your BBS cyberwarrior victory.

-1 try a harder planes.

It's competition here already. They're several events which you can partake in as well as trying new and much more difficult planes than your current favorites.

AFAIK Kazaa partakes in all the competition events. He already won KOTH and right now in the SDL there aren't many matches going on. KOTH only comes around twice a week.
It would be nice to have one every week, add CM's if necessary it's not like they're paid staff. Or make a proper duelling competition once a week as koth can be a bit devious

Like a duelling ladder each week with a new ride. That way people would be encouraged to hit the envelope in every plane.

[moot]

If all else fails you guys could try and help (I think it's) Daddog in getting the Dueling Ladder back up.

That's a start m00t. I'll PM Daddog about it.

[SkyRock]

PM me for a DA bout.....I'm sure I could dust off some old ownage skills and give you some competition.
