That is a large part of it, yes. btw you like to turn it into an ma player vs da player argument but the truth is we're all AH players and with one or two exceptions I can safely assume that most people in this thread, though MA players in your mind, have probably spent way more hours in the DA than those you call the DA regulars. Everyone's opinion is valid...

If your opinion isn't Scottish, it's CRAP!   :D

The DA is not an MA and shouldn't be treated such. If your motivation for flying is wtg's, score, and rank, fly any of the MA's. You'll even compete with more than a handful of people. The DA is for certain aspects of the game and the arena should be setup to promote those aspects.

That's the problem he seems to be having. It is easy to be in the top 10 percent of 30 players, but much harder to be in the top 10 percent of 3000 players.

The MA is just where Hoers, picker and runners go to get their atta boys, then I guess.....

That's funny, that's all I ever find when I stop by the "lake" when I'm working out a problem.

Seriously why do people worry so much about what goes on in the DA Lake area? Our squad will go to the DA and use two of the dueling fields. We never have any problems. When we finish a fight we just auger instead of landing kills. We don't go over to the lake area, we know what it is and we leave it to the guys that love to fly there. If you don't like it then don't fly there. If the DA wasn't serving the purpose Hitech intended he'd change it. The lake is called Furball Lake for a reason. F-3 mode is on for a reason. The few times I've flown furball lake I've gotten wiped out over and over. It is just another form of AH and like the LWA it has its cartoon aces who have mastered the venue. The difference is those guys in the DA don't constantly whine about the LWA and try to impose their likes and dislikes on it.

Seriously I don't have a dog in the fight, rarely go in there except to do some squad dueling. I just never understood why the place gets under so many people's skin so bad.

Adult males spending the better part of their healthy productive night in a kiddy cartoon game have to justify it somehow. The traditional method from the dawn of Hominidae is to declaire my group is better than your group becasue we is the real deal and transend this dump into realmanville by being here. All becasue they say so to turn inainity into moral certitude visa numbers and loud chest thumping. We the real deal the rest of yous' is drool.

How else do you justify living in a kiddy cartoon game trying to convince every kiddy you run across that you are the equivalent of a demigod because you go piu, piu, piu real good?

$14.95 a month says the players at furball lake, the dueling fields, and all the HOers and pickers in the MA are equal along with any reasons they give to justify how they play the game. Unless your ego is so weak you can be conned into beleiving you are a lesser man, by someone in a kiddy cartoon game thumping his cartoon chest at you, yelling looser becasue you don't play the game the same way he does. It dosen't matter if this was a dried bean collecting club or a kiddy game. It's human nature to turn it into my way is better than your way and build a theology around it to justify your way of taking part in it.

So what matters. The power of your $14.95 a month? Or Scotch and Company thumphing their chests at you in a kiddy cartoon game yelling theirs is the only right way to play this game? I don't see HiTech giving scotch and company lifetime free subscriptions because of their auwsumness and how their presence specificly transforms this game into the best game in the world.

Ever noticed the game dosen't stop running 24x7 when scotch and company logoff? How auwsum is that......

There is no chest thumping in this thread. In fact I've specifically said everyone's opinion is equal. Take your b.s. to the general discussion.
