ENY ENY every time I FREAKIN FLY

What happens if HTC removes ENY because "the customer is always right" and I make a thread about wanting ENY back? 

....why...you would be misguided, of course.  There was never any problem that justified ENY in the first place.  Everyone knows that.

Maybe setting up a vote, just like they did with the large maps?

  This.  This right here.  Of course this example goes against the narrative, so it is not to be mentioned again.

Good to see squads like Babybacks On the Wing do stand up stuff like switch to help with numbers issues.  Then of course the friggin AK's gotta come along and bork it all to hell.

We talked about switching back Knight last week on squad night and I plan on bringing it up again tonight....saw the Knights were very outnumbered the last few times I was on

Numbers will tell that tale.   As it stands we are losing players over the status quo system.

Every time I hear "the customer is always right" in the context of this game, I have to think about the collision model discussions of the past... 

nice

Correlation does not prove causation.  ENY has been here since before I was playing and the numbers were still rising after I started.

One thing is for certain, there will be even less of an incentive to join the low numbered side if they can gang with 5 ENY monsters too.  What will happen is more people will log off, switch to the high numbered side, or quit.  The numbers will get worse, but at least you can still have your P-51D.

Guess HTC is misguided too.

They are clearly correlated here. Anyone who can't see that is. . .

And with only 68 total players (or less) losing even three people over ENY hurts the game.

Fess is one of the guys who makes this game fun.  Are we better off if he leaves?  I don't think so.  And for every person like him who raises a legit squawk twenty others agree without a word. 

I don't care what people fly as long as I have targets.

Monster?  Lol.  One of the weakest planes in the game.  Overrated is being kind.

Wait, is it the ENY this week, or is it the large maps, or the lack of new maps?  Or is it the ack and GVs and ships?  Or is it the lack of perks on the planes that can run?

We really need to elect an official doomsayer so we stop getting mixed messages.  People need to know what's killing the game so they can complain in a unified manner.

And what of those people who ignore the fact that numbers were still increasing while ENY was already in effect?

There are many factors for the decline of the player base.  Competition from "free" games and HTC resting on their laurels for too long are the biggest reasons IMO.

Past is prologue.  This march has been slogged by Brand X already.   I told you 18 months ago.

Increasing numbers minimize the swings in ENY.

When you have 500 players versus 30 well.  We all passed math.

Some AH history:

ENY limiter was introduced in the summer of 2004. Before and tt that time the player numbers were actually going down. From late 2004 on started to climb until reaching their all time high in late 2007/early 2008.

Which doesn't mean ENY was THE reason for that increase either

Carry on...
