Give us the option for GAC.

It would be pretty awful to have to choose to climb in one GAC and fall into the other. Anyone wanting to be competitive would rather sign up for both 5v5 and 3v3 at the same time. I’m not sure I’d want the added time sink, just so I won’t drop rewards.

I think there have been large enough polls on this that about 80% would do 5’s and there is a 20% of sick twisted weirdos out there that prefers 3’s. With my solution those 3 vs 3 stans get to play it every GAC. If you love 3’s soooo much because it’s so awesome you get to play with a bunch of oddball comps then you should like this solution.

Large enough numbers where? How many people voted and how large percentage is that of the total player base? If it wasn’t an official poll accessible through the game chances are a very large portion of the players haven’t even seen it.

Reddit has polls at about 1500 users on this.

There have been over 100 million people that have played this game, 1500 is not a very large portion of the player base.

People tend to put too much value in the n, 1500 is not bad, it would probably yield a fair estimate if based on an representative sample...which I seriously doubt a reddit poll does.

No.

So, for your post, X and Y are 3v3 and 5v5? If so, yet another response that is nothing more than restating the status quo. Why is OP's suggestion bad for the player? Bad for CG? Bad for the game as a whole?

My answer is to the point, and r reason the status quo is preferable. CG will make changes that increase sales. Not forcing players to invest in 3v3 teams would likely generate less profit.

Motivation by profit is not necessarily the best option, but it's the model we're living in and that keeps the game alive.

I suppose we could found Communist Games, supported by taxes or donations and that would focus entirely on game quality and enjoyment rather than sales, but I don't think that's going to happen though.

Chances are that poll is not represenative, given that it is not a random sample of the player base.

If I got interested in 3v3 strategies and became good at it, I have the advantage during 3v3 seasons against players who didn't go this extra mile. If players choose 3v3 or 5v5, then I'll play against players who also chose 3v3, so are also good at 3v3 and will lose my advantage.

It's pretty similar to fleets. If you're not interested in fleets, you will be at disavantage each gac. If you're not interested in 3v3, you will be at disavantage every 2 gac.

Just like the poets said: "I like it that way".

Would LOVE the option to choose. I absolutely hate 3v3. Complete trash IMO.

These forums have a terrible habit of missing the forest through the trees.

Think it’s fair to say the grand majority of the player base prefers 5v5 to 3v3. I count myself among them. If you’re reading this and wondering “proof?”, just stop, please. It’s disingenuous.

I'd argue that making up statistics or citing an unscientific non-representative poll is disingenuous.
