Dear BI I have to agree with the posts from this evening. I was one of the users who exited, completely fed-up with the behaviours that ruined the gameplay and damaged the Arma experience on one of your official servers, USA #03. I understand many of us left the server because of this, effectively killing off the game. Not a great advert for Arma. The gentleman who joined with the name "f******BOZZO" (quite appropriate really) and then rejoined as "user" basically ruined the experience for everyone. He spawned in and team killed his entire team multiple times. He knew what he was doing and in team text at one point stated that he was stopping and going to play properly, but that lasted no more than a few minutes before he returned to ruining the game for everyone. The above posts show that he swapped sides team-killing 48 of his own team before many of us left in disgust; this was the second or third such instance this evening. We did try to collectively kick the user concerned but perhaps we were too inexperienced to get this feature to work. The player concerned did leave after a little but, but returned under another user name to wreak havoc after a short interval. Being relatively new to the game, this was not what I expected from a title like Arma. It is not commensurate with the image your advertising aims to portray and I have to advise that it really upset many of the players on the server and caused a lot of inappropriate comment and negativity which detracts from the enjoyment of playing the game. Please do try and do something about this and if you can, please take action with the player concerned. His details are listed in the immediate posts above. I've actually seen this same player do the same on the same server two separate evenings this week, so clearly he thinks it appropriate to damage your brand and the playing experience. If you can take action in 1) limiting the ability of players to behave like this and 2) then effectively police official servers it would improve the overall experience. I realise this is a difficult balance to achieve but ultimately its your brand that suffers when people ruin your game like this. I really enjoy the End Game scenario when you get users on playing and communicating as a team. It really makes Arma come to life. I'd really like to see more scenarios of similar styles encouraging team play and good interaction. Regards Very Old Boy PS It's way past my bed time and I don't like to complain, but this really upset me and the majority of players on the server.
