Do you see a problem here? Part of the reason I posted the IMF/B1 thread was to gloat and the other part was to point out this glaring problem.

The quit because the various players either had a lack of competition or interest. I wanted to give them a purpose a rival so to speak and unite them in a common purpose. You see IMF openly admitted he quit cause he couldn't be #1 without players and practice.

Its just so sad that MORE people play vf4 than 3 yet there is less compeition for people to play with. This is just sad.

It's also sad that SHOU and others who echo his sentiments feel like once you get too good or lets use the word proficent in the game it no longer becomes fun.

Dont you see the irony in this and it is something the VFDC community should work to change. I left VFDC to see if things would change on its own through Spot and Zero's approach to things but obviously based on the chat above they never did.
