In regards to 'UKM 2007 Info Thread'

I created this so not to litter the info thread.

Its pretty obvious that new players hate ramping. As do the majority of the old guard.

The obvious reasons that come to mind for new players is the irrational, but understandable thought that they may regulary encounter a situation where they will be recieving a greater amount of pain. The older players main reasons being steak and kidney pies.

What are the other reasons do people have for not wanting ramping?

cost.

everyone else gets to have it too

cost.

Per person cost isnt a factor if were talking UKM and PA.

Bugger!

Semi adds another element of skill to the game.

I myself prefer semi because I can hit 15bps with the right setup, while others cannot.

Some prefer ramping:

1. Because it provides an even field in terms of rate of fire.

2. Because they cannot shoot very fast in semi.

just the word ramping.

it also does incurr greater cost on other people - say you have a stock pm6 - your gonna have to get a new board just so you can ramp!

Ok apart from classing moving fingers fast as a skill, would you like to ellaborate.

Off topic but people can pull the trigger less times than yourself in 'semi' per second but I guarantee their ROF over yours will be higher.

This was the argument couple years back. But instead of drop-in boards people would have had to buy a new gun all together or to have some long haired freak install an eye mod. Either way with so many people regulary spend £50+ on fashion accessories alone, a drop in board wouldnt be too dramatic.

 

[Big Mac]

okay okay - fair point but for those on a budget who dont spend on accessories - might be more difficult - but then if people used to have to buy new markers - fair play

I just dont see the point tbh.

And the argument for levelling the playing field isn't valid, the playing field isn't level even with ramping. People have different fitness levels, different sizes, can run faster/slower, so why should how fast you can fire be level? I see it more as a disadvantage to a player who has trained to fire at a constant high rof than anything else.
