Another fallacy. This thread is a representation of players who are willing to voice their displeasure or pleasure when it comes to CAS.
If you are going to make an assertion such as this then you should be able to back it up with numbers that are an accurate reflection of the entire player base, not just the base that shares your view.
Now, is this thread one that confirms the biases of others who do not like CAS in GAB (which I play) or GRB? Yes, it is.
Yet if we take our “facts” in the same manner that you do, one could assert that it is an accurate reflection of the percentage of players who do not like CAS, right?
Gaigin could, indeed, make A TO-Only game mode which would not lessen the player base and quite possibly be able to bring back those who have quit out of frustration.
Honestly, I have thought about giving it up due to many times where I have had a strong position, perhaps holding a flank, and have had those who cannot break through take to a plane and take that position away from me.
IMO, we should have choices and if one wants to break a position by strapping on a plane then give them a game mode to do so, but allow for a game mode where players actually have to work just a bit harder to break that superior position.
