Suspect this is going to be the most popular suggestion to date. Can you read sarcasm?

My suggestion is to make guns improve at a slower rate and when they get to the pinicle of their ability, they improve slower still.

Why?

"Take-downs" are boring and I hate the ability to "One shot" a leader.

If you can take out a city in a minute, your skill as a leader or the skill of your hitsquad leader becomes irrelevant, it wouldn't matter. Any donkey who has put the hours in shooting MIA contracts and picking up IA kills can orchestrate an assault on a city, safe in the knowledge that they don't need think how to attack, they don't need to pick off BG's, take out hitters and whittle down a family to take the shot, still unsure as to if they will hit or not. It's a case of shooting the leader and scavenging on the left overs.

There are people who play this who have distingished themselves as tactical minds who you want onside in a time of war, the likes of Premier, Flying_Pig, Fakeman, etc - like or love, they know how to war. I'm not kissing any arses, in point of fact I only actually like one of the three mentioned but I respect all three. The way things are, thier knowledge and tactical edge are no longer required.

If guns were weaker than they are, you would bring back the need for thought in a time of war. Getting hitters online and shooting is easy, getting hitters online and preparing for a day, 2 day or 3 day assault on a city with the result still in the balance depending on the choices you make is not so easy.

I appreciate people commit alot of time to achieve the guns they have but I also believe that such guns detract from the real skill of war - Thought.

If you can take out a city in a minute, your skill as a leader or the skill of your hitsquad leader becomes irrelevant, it wouldn't matter.

I highly doubt that. When was the last time you prepared a war plan? And doesn't "If you can take out a city in a minute" speak volumes about the tactical prowess of a particular takedown? I mean last I looked the site was leveled down a couple of months ago...so pretty much everyone sort of started over at the same time.

Well I think its always been established that the person(s) that put in the most amount of work usually have better accounts. And people here have always said, in order to takeout someone that has say 10x work put in and the next highest account around is 2x. Then you need a conglomeration of folks that equal 10x to take out an account/city that highly ranked.

Now was all my blah blah above donkey talk to ya? Is there not thought that goes into such things? OR do you still think that people that put in the work should be penalized cause the other lazy asses can't keep up?

Either way, I am tired of idiots coming to these forums and suggesting on matters that they have absolutely no knowledge of. I mean shit I can't cook so I don't come out here to give cooking suggestions...I just leave that to the donkeys that aim and point aimlessly, and my feast is served.

I like the way guns are now. IRL all you need is a gun and a target. Any idiot can shoot someone. It keeps everyone honest.

DavyJones, if I might be so bold I'd like to define what a hypoctite is. I'll give you a real life example of a hypoctite I met recently:

Someone recently called me an idiot for not knowing what I was talking about. The irony is that the idiot that called me such, has no idea what he's talking about. He presumed to know me, my experience and knowledge based on the fact that at this moment in time, I was a goomba in a game.

Now that I have lowered myself to your level of name calling, pointless aggresion and destructive rather than constructive critism, I'll address some of the points you attempted to make.

I highly doubt that.

Las Vegas was essentially leveled in a minute of shooting. I appreciate that the prep was longer but the attack was not. I have been involved in the planning of wars, I have planned my own and I know that so long as you have the guns, you don't need the intelligence.

Well I think its always been established that the person(s) that put in the most amount of work usually have better accounts.

That's not in question, I know that to be the case. I've had accounts where I have "One Shot" Don leaders. I put in alot of time on those accounts but what I am questioning is that tactically, I could have achieved that doing nothing but training my gun, something which in my opinion should not be the case.

OR do you still think that people that put in the work should be penalized cause the other lazy asses can't keep up?

Missing the point yet again. I want good guns, I just don't want guns that can level a city in a minute.

I just leave that to the donkeys that aim and point aimlessly, and my feast is served.

I'm not aiming and pointing aimlessly, I'm suggesting something I believe would better the game. What I would ask is anyone that decides to comment, please do so productively, I'm not a fan of arguing with school children.

Disclaimer:

I lost the moral high ground when I jumped down to DavyJones' level and responded to his aggresive post with my own aggresion. I did so deliberately as I am a believer of fighting fire with fire. If I'm conversed with on an adult level, I will respond in kind. What I would like to add though is that in this forum, I write as a gamer, I am someone sat at home in my mighty whities and string vest playing MafiaReturns, watching entourage and chomping on Pizza - Dominoes texas BBQ.

To that affect, these are my real life thoughts, not "The_Alchemists" and they do not represent the thoughts or feelings of anyone my character associates with i.e. other characters such as my leader Kong or my sponsor Resurgam. I merely highlight this as some people, I would refer to them also as donkeys, struggle to differentiate between in-character and out-of-character and would look to take in-game action if they felt offended by my words.
