Simply put I prefer a style of gameplay focused on history as opposed to the everlasting gangbang that the great majority of the players favor. The human factor is grossly overrated ... in fact a human is more likely to be even more predictable than any AI: Shoot one down and he'll whine on some message board about unrealistic FMs, DMs, weapons or anything else that lets him mask his own inaptitude by pointing fingers at other somewhat "esotheric" factors.  |
Are you me?
I get this sudden feeling reading your post that either you are me or that I'm having some kind of Tyler Durdenesque psychotic break here.
Everyone pimps their server as being the exception but it's a clique thing, you're in the clique or your not.
The big difference is not the people themselves, they're only human. It's the environment that favours balance over realism. People go on about how they are team players and whatever but few really are, they think that being in the server with the same letters in front of their name makes them a team. In the real deal you don't get a choice, you have to work as a team in order to survive and, until this idiotic notion of things having to be balanced gets knocked out of people, this culture will endure. People mistakenly believe that flight simulations exist to be gratifying, fair or fun, they do not, they exist to simulate flying which is inherently gratifying, often unfair but always fun.
