Guys,

All clutz wanted was Hitech's undivided attention along with a public audience to force him to listen by virtue of us being witnesses. After 9 pages and how many PERSONAL posts from HiTech it all comes down to this from clutz.

Quoted from Clutz:
All I want to do, as I quoted somebody in my very begging topic thread, is: "just jump online and have a few fun fights". Is that asking to much? Maybe it is, but its what "I" want,

Clutz didn't want to hear anything from us. He just wanted to use us to get from HiTech as he stated what he wants.

Clutz are a a relative of Voss...........



I was shocked when i logged on, and found this thread still open.

Sure!  Why not?  There are people who don't like how hand guns are used...  They've been going after the manufacturers for years.  With a disturbing amount of success too!  :confused:

No.  

Manufacturers make the cars (planes, vehicles, objects).

Then rules are created how the cars can be used- traffic lights, speed limits, road signs, police (the game rules, strategy, penalties, rewards).

If you don't like the way the cars are driven, you don't attack the complain to the manufacturer about the cars, you complain about the rules that govern how they are allowed to be driven.

In this case, AH2, the same person/company creates both.

The OP is saying that HTC is painting better cars, repaving the roads, whatever; not addressing the broken traffic lights, roads with the wrong speed limits, etc.  

It's a lot easier to dismiss the points as whining than to actually read, comprehend, and then address the (perceived) shortcomings in gameplay.

At Hitech:  I'm not going to requote that whole post you had, the one about babysitting the computers, but that was really heartfelt and I appreciated you taking the time to post it.  

I guess I'm done; I can't make my points any more clearly.

Once again, toonces shows his analytical skill with the written word, and exposes how thoughtless the parroting of the bbs peanut gallery really can be.

I'm guessing you majored in the humanities? ;)

It was very clever, quite true metaphoricaly and funny. It is still only a matter of opinion if the traffic lights are faulty or not. Alot of people think they work fine  :confused:

Of course battfink.  But what toonces did is show that comparing the complaint about AH gameplay to complaining about an auto manufacturer is a false analogy, despite the applause the originator of that idea received.  Moreover, he is dead right that AH is in the position of being both the manufacturer and the giver of traffic laws.

I can see that, sure. Yet the nature of humans dictates that any new rules Hitech makes will be complained about equally or more so than this original complaint.

More importantly, if some new rules to save gameplay were put in place, the original poster would almost certainly end up complaining about the very rules he demanded.

Absolutely without a fragment of a doubt. Otherwise, if he was that discontented here he would have peacefully dropped his account and looked for another game.
