Sparticus -> Battles are Fries and Not Burgers. (9/4/2011 15:32:54)

Here is the Thesis: Battles in ED should be more like fries and less like a burger.
What that means is battles should be short, tasty and plentiful. French fries come in boxes, usually in great bunches of fried, salty goodness. They are of all different lengths and shapes but they basically taste the same and are delicious. The loss of one is usually of no great concern, they fall on the floor, are stolen by a friend or are lost at the bottom of the bag and missed.
A Burger, on the other hand, is usually singular. It is delicious in it's own way. We all like them done "our way". It takes a good, long time to eat one. They have great intrinsic value since they are usually the only one we have at that moment and the lose of that single burger would be devastating.
There was a time when ED battles were more like french fries and less like burgers. Back in those dark days of ED, players ran through battles with much less concern for their win/loss records and more concern for the volume of battles they could fight. Greetings were brief and banter was kept to OZ world 8 or higher.
Discussions of luck were minimal, they revolved more around who went first and who missed whom. The most heated arguments were between players who used boosters and those who refused to because they slowed the game down.
I remember the old days when this game moved faster, when players could PVP a lot in a PVP game (imagine that). I bet there could be a day again where attitudes change enough that this game again starts to move at a faster pace and battles again become more like fries (things to be shared and gorged on) and less like a burger (a thing to covet and squabble over).
What do you think?
