Why Behave This Way

[DroopSnoot]

This is a double post but i feel so strongly about it i felt it should be in the main thread:

Who you gonna play with when you upset people and humiliate them. I've seen the "dont let the door bump your butt" routine so many times and each one is a lost player and with the 50 to 70 players scattered over minimal servers I dont think this game or community can afford to loose people.
How about help people solve their problems instead, turn these senarios around before they make a bigger loss for the community in the long run.

I would ask that this not be moved or slated or maybe even replied to, as i'm saying this not only on moral grounds but for the benefit of the forums and the game itself.

Just think about it guys, bite your tongues.

ie somebody moans etc they are flamed/insulted and ignored instead of helped or given a kind word of hang in there etc

5 people left this forum last week alone. Thats 5 players this game cant afford to loose.
I think those players left because of how they are treated on this forum.

Thanks rowddy, not helpful.

I think things will calm down around here when they finally release the patch. It has been a long wait after a very bad start.

it's 5 forum members. i know at least 3 people who fly clod who never post on forums, another 2-3 who occasionally fly and don't post.

if people are going to flounce after weeks of negativity then i'd say, on balance, the forum will probably be a better place. they aren't going all geek-rage on the forum about known issues that (i trust) the developers are working on, and people aren't replying to them angrily rather than assisting other posters with genuine, user-solvable problems and advice.

im pretty new here, and i have been insulted at least a couple of times. ya, something is wrong if people behave this way with others. to be fair though, real fighter pilots were/are probably not the nicest people either...i can just imagine a room full of actual 109 pilots, and the massive egos they must have had!

Not really macphail. My two mates are fighter pilots. I went through Officer Training School with them. They are the funniest buggers you'd meet. I don't fly, and 'playing' CoD doesn't make me anything close to what my mates do. But you are right, although they are funny buggers, they have egos.

Some of us used to do this, but became jaded with horrible plan for the game, and censorship of any dissenters here...
