I agree with you, but please read his main post.
He want's to play in his BB2 without being food in GB2. Can he do that in the Select Mode BB/CA?, yes.

Including CV/DD/FF/CL/SS classes in a mode below lvl80-90 is a good idea, but it isn't his issue right now... neither is shared exp.

Arguing semantics about his request isn't going to change the situation.

Not to repeat myself, but pointing at a game mode plagued with problems and acting like it is a legitimate option doesn't make that the reality.


Edit: I did mean to mention in my earlier post though, that the event should go some ways to helping the situation by raising room type awareness.

This has been argued over time and time again. Every time its failed. The bottom line is that there aren't enough people in the game to support it. It would dilute the number of people in the GBs and make the horrible wait time even worse. Rooms would be failing at 10 minutes and people would be loosing their minds. Don't forget that CVs wouldn't care about the level restrictions nearly as bad as the BBs (especially the BWs). So you'd get the CVs going 8 to every room with no waiting while the BBs sat and rotted.

The thing that I really didn't like about your post was that you missed about 95% of what I said. My point was that I ENJOYED the grind and ENJOYED playing each ship along the way. I still go back to them. After all, this is a game and games are supposed to be for fun. If you think this is going to succeed, then by all means, go start a select mode and see what you get. I hate to disappoint, but most of the players you see in a GB in less than a BB5 are on their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th line and they don't care much to downgrade to lessor competition.

By the way, I'm quite capable of sinking BB5s with my BB2 and I don't consider myself very good with manual. I would dare say that if you made these special rooms not only would you kill the number of games that go on in a night (making leveling harder) you'd also weaken the skill base of players. They'd play in a watered down environment. Then they'd get to L90 and guess what? Now they have a bigger ship and are still food for the veterans, because its not the ship that matters, its whether or not the operator can use it. After all, as has just been pointed out, you can sink a BB5 with a BB2 (they do have 16" guns) so the problem will be the same again.

I also don't like your page long rant calling people old guard and trolls. Heck, I've only been playing since Febuary and I missed three months. Big deal. Stop the pity party. If you can't beat them now, then you'll just end up giving them more XP off a bigger ship.

Let me quote again for emphasis this point:

"There shared xp there? Oh. No. There isn't."

If you are counting on the shared XP to level, then you really have failed. So here you are talking about people having skill and playing the game and you are what, L 95 and worried about shared XP? Perhaps the really problem is that you just aren't a very good player. There's nothing wrong with that, but we can't go changing the whole game because then someone else would just be the less skilled player. If you are L95 and you are upset over being food then there is seriously something wrong.

>FPS
Everything is balanced so that even if a level 50 player jumped onto a level 1 player he should technically be able to do pretty similarly to what he normally would do.
>Chess
1v1, not even valid
>Navyfield
Every class is relied upon to some degree in every battle and players with higher level accounts have distinct advantages over others.

You are absolutely wrong.
