I agree with just about every word of this...and yet a few weeks ago when I started a thread about it - it was removed in a flash. (Maybe it was because I called the game "A joke" that it touched a nerve) So sad the powers that be are not able to take constructive criticism and act on it, instead having a hissy fit and ignoring it. The game is truly awful now. It takes precious little skill to hit the 1-5 keys throughout a battle, and I dare say many of those who do rely on these "Boosters" all game, are inept without them. Remove ALL the Repair Kits (not the dropped boosters), and maybe, just maybe, the game will be a little better. I am the same as you, complete a mission and log back out - gone are the days when I would stay in the game for a few hours, and definately no longer buy anything in the game now.

I had a break from this game for a few months, having more important things to attend to. I have since come back and what I see is nothing short of a big joke, and one that I am not sure I can take in the longer term. Seriously? Like the Overdrive feature is not enough, countless Double Armour, Double Damage boosters and Repair Kits are being used in addition, making it near impossible to destroy them on a flag chase, especially on smaller maps. (Its the Repair Kits that I truly hate when overdrive is being used. Sort that out and bring some balance back in to the game might be a good idea. A couple of observations that drive me mad in addition to the huge rise in usage of repair kits ,,,,, 1. I have seen some players that appear to be fully drugged up for the entire battle - that is ridiculous! Despite the matchmaking efforts, the battles seem to be more one-sided that they ever were before its introduction. 2. While I still try to compete (I will not drug like a rock star to do so though), I can not say that there is much enjoyment left in the game now, only for those who need their ego massaged as they romp to another 7-0 victory 3. After waiting maybe 1 m 30 secs to join a battle, it would be great if I could then move more than 20m before the battle ends! I have had this many times and have to rejoin the queue in the hope getting a battle with longer than 5 seconds remaining. For me, this is the worst feature of the matchmaking. I would be interested in reading other viewpoints form both sides, but especially from those who are equally sick of the game as it is today.
