Due to the fact this kind of gate hogging routes still exist, the AM staff will start cracking down on the players with those routes
very soon. The routes concerned will be closed and the gates will be returned. We expect all of you to coorperate with us and
restructure your routes
now.
The most up-to-date definition of gate hogging route is "Excessive frequencies that do not exist to operate in a competitive environment but to unfairly hold gates at a given airport". If there is competition, then it may be ok. However, if there is not much competition on the routes, or that if the routes is so short that it doesn't make sense, they are in.
And as per StephenM's
gate hogging statement, any multi-0.5 routes would be considered gate hogging as well.
Those that have received emails about it, we have given you quite sometime to restructure your routes, so don't complain this time. We have clearly stated that anymore more than 1 0.5 frequency on a route is not acceptable. Those that have never received any email or personal warnings, this
is your warning. Next thing you receive may be a pm informing you what routes have been closed (we would send out a last warning with a deadline if we are kind... but that kind of depends on our mood
).
We don't want to close your routes or intervene with the game. However, if you force us to take actions, we will. Having said that, I highly encourage your all to take a serious look at your routes and restructure them if/when deemed appropriate. This time, I (as well as the admins) will be checking on you all. Take your own risk if you want to, but bare in mind there are consequences for every decisions you make.
And one more thing I can tell you; when I start looking, I will start from my beloved Asia. :wink:
I hope you all take this seriously (not that I care if you don't because I will), and clear up your act.
