General Chat / Concerning €1 Routes

You know, this really was a very poor thread to sticky... when it is a real problem.

Let the calm and polite get locked, and instead sticky the vulgar and rude?  Gimme a break.

This thread was actually created to get rid of the arguing in the forums  

So the mods dont need to deal with the other threads

On any of the forums I run, mod or heavily participate... the lead post would have been at best locked.  Or at worst deleted and the user suspended (deleted I think would have been fine, but one board in particular prob would have banned him).

Instead of stopping argument and discussion, this thread just inflams some people such as myself.  Instead of looking at the core issues that people see, they just irritate people.

In the end this kind of behavior will prob kill this game.  Who knows.

The point isn't the 1 euro.  The point is that it is often poor sportsmanship.  You end up having insane trade wars.  Which in real life don't really happen.

It is a game... un-sportsman-like behavior is an issue.

When this is done, it is often to keep neebies from joining.  Sure, a lot of tiny airlines complain.  I am not running a giant, but I do not run a small faction.  Can I deal?  Sure.

ABout the best solution would be to make it easier to get about an 80% fill with multiple airlines, with competition.  1 Euro should NOT be the difference between 100% and 0% loading.  That just is inane.  But that means more work under the hood.

General Chat / Already at dealing with the 1 Euro flights?

Ok.  Something that just ticks me off is the fact that no airline would run flights at a constant loss.  Especialy at 1 Euro.  With multiple planes.  Ingeneral this is simply unsportsman like conduct and really should be penalized.  And of course it has already started up again.  This is something that kills smaller or new airlines instantly.  It hurts every airline.  If this is not dealt with in a more sportsman like manner... I don't see this game ever really being sucsesful.

What are your thoughts?

General Chat / What are the advantages of joining an alliance?

Do you get a noticible load increase?  And what is the benefit if you already fly to many of the same ports?
