take "quickening" for example. you can find him often on the BoB or TyD ladder servers. the guy has been playing for years but overall has a negative K/D ratio. he doesnt camp. he doesnt use a shotgun. but not matter how hard he tries, i still see him everytime with a rotten score. to transform a player like this into a better one by changing the characteristics of the game might make improvement a short cut for him but it would add another competitor into the AC community.
the point of making this game easier, as i see it, is to revive a withering multiplayer game. all i hear on these forums is "AC is dead". this is one of the reasons why. the game is just too hard for some. to make AC come alive again, you need to make it appealing to a larger audience
Did I just read this right? Cure camping by editing maps?? Dafuq #1. "he doesn't use a shotgun..." Dafuq #2. That whole last paragraph / blurb thing. DAFUQ #3. Finally this...
"i guess my view is, to attract a more lively community, sacrifices in the difficulty of gameplay must be made. i would understand why this point would be rejected though"

No no and no. No no no no no and no? Yes NO.
We will continue to accept only the greatest of the AC-ryan race into our presence! Thou will never again consider such an insulting proposal!
By the way, I'd like to thank Reagan for his post's sarcasm. Loved it! Now if only I could find that darn Thank You button... Hmm where did the damn thing go?!
