    I've played 1087 hours, from day one, practically every day and I'm considering to leave this game because :

    - SOE doesn't know how to balance the game, they simply add OP things to earn some money and then NERF not only the thing they've added but also the whole system related with this thing, without refunding all the certs and time inverted. If I were a harraser pilot I'd be very very upset with SOE.

    - Since PU1 I cannot play with the highest graphic settings despite having a card that can run the game at 50-60 fps (gtx580). If I play with max settings, the camera movement losses accuracy and seems laggy (before PU1 it was working well).

    - Michael Bay likes playing with ESF. Touch a team mate and boom! (at least withthe scythe).

    - Vanu MAX completely nerfed, useless and expensive, I kill faster with a simple Light Assault.

    - Where are the medics? Most useless class, with worst useless ability, the triage. It is still there after a year. A medic is like an assault without the jets and with a ridiculous amount of xp per revive.

    - Stupid ESF battles, not fair. These stupid battles are all about hitpoint and reverse maneuver (hover). Most ESF pilots that only play ESF are playing a complete different game than infantry, they don't capture a s-hi-t, they just fly at 700m and kill other ESF. The lib? stupidly OP against infantry, stupidly crap versus ESF without the dalton support, that AI gun that is used to kill aircraft.

    - G2A lock-ons. You know. Hundreds of people in the battlefield with G2A lock-ons versus a few ESF noobs flying near the zone. You've killed ESF with an AI build, congrats.

    - The flash. No comments. Broken since day 1.

    - Respawn bases and redeploy. Broken. An outfit can just redeploy to a base and capture it very easily (zerg).

    - Esamir and Amerish? Who's playing in these continents? I can't remember the last time I've played in amerish.

    etc

    Pro tip: Open 999 threads complaining about something and SOE will nerf it.

    You do realize you could also call it buffside 2 because with the nerfs there were also buffs? It's almost like one can't exist without the other or something.

    SOE just isn't perfectly sane when it comes to balancing, it's not to earn money (as seen with the Basilisk, where only ingame certs are able to upgrade these things), they just really suck at it without testing things for a long time.

    That's not true, the VS MAX has a TTK of 0.5-1 seconds against infantry units, MAXes actually have the lowest TTK out of all ground units when it comes to close range fights.

    Medics are the most useful thing any squad or footzerg can hope for, i suggest you start playing in a platoon and enjoy the wonders of reviving 350 recourse MAXes and infantry.

    How are ESF battles not fair? Every ESF has the same HP, can do the same maneuvers and have (arguably) comparable weapons in terms of killing power.
    About the Liberator part; I can argue with you that a Skyguard or a few Lock-on monkies will beat the crap out of any Liberator, but they were designed to be strong against ground units with ESFs as their counter.

    G2A wasn't bad before the PU2. However, I agree that they are out of control since PU2.

    SOE can't force you to play on Esamir and Amerish, if you don't want to fight there than don't complain that you haven't been fighting there.
