Most of the Veteran players have already left as have most of the clans. Or the clans only have a few die-hards left playing LQQks at the Dagz clan activity

I teach novice lobby's every time i log in to guns Every-time. I have consistently taught lobby's since I have been semi average at the game. The reason the scrubs leave is they have such a small game pool to draw from & very few people with their low skill-set in Novice & it is over in some 57 games. That puts the scrub on and in an experienced lobby.

SO it is in the scrubs best interest to be humble! As they have no right taking a galleon at level 3 and telling you "fuck off i can fly what i like i bought the game" Pilot looks at lobby and ally guns and already knows there will be little point in engaging with the surly scub even advice is met with fuck off & that the match will end in defeat. For every scrub that mouths off to a decent friendly Pilot it may well put them off for teaching the next surly crew. I think people seem to forget that scrubs in this game are as more a hazard than the Vets were.

Cause & effect.

While I completely agree with you, its not something making the game f2p would solve, but rather make it worse.
Yes, it is in their interest to be humble, but we all know a lot of them WON'T be, and they will make the rest of the vets who are still here quit the game forever.
The majority, who wont be this "fun-to-teach humble lvl 2 engineer who tries his best" kind of people, will quit soon after that because they will lose interest of the game, because they had no interest in learning the high level gameplay in the first place.

Sadly, if it sounds too good to be true, it is.

I have been there. I have seen that happen to one of my favorite games of all times- ALTITUDE. (its free, look it up on steam)
It was the same situation like in goio- noobstomping, low population. everything was the same. Its even a heavily team-coop-based game, just like goio.

We went down to ~50-75 players at the time [in goio we are ranging from 25-200 depending on hours]

You know what happened after they made the game f2p?
We had a HUGE amount of new players coming in. As a result, most Vets quitted the game forever, as all the lobbies became a huge cluster of "scrub" loadouts, which means none of the vets actually enjoyed the game anymore.

Around 2 months later, most of those noobs, who just downloaded the game "for the lolz", quitted as well.
Looking back, it was pretty obvious they would.
the Vets? they never returned.
Because they already moved on to other games.

Since then, all attempts of reviving the game have failed.

And thus, came an end to my second favorite team-based game (after goio).
Now the population is around 7-10 players at the same time at most. you cant even fill an entire lobby most hours of the day.


Please.
If you love this game like I do, PLEASE leave the f2p idea alone, in the dark, where it belongs.
It already killed a game I loved. Please dont let it do it again.

Is there a way to convert this to a PSD file, so it can be opened with Photoshop?
