Expect more of these threads to come.

 

Oh I will. I'll also expect you to post in every single one, quoting anyone that disagrees with you and trying to ram your opinion down someones throat with the same exact responses, while trying to get the last word in.

A poll thread that derives from another poll thread...goodie.

 

You should have added a "don't care" option.

 

The don't care option is to not look at the thread.

 

Are you and skadowkill f*cking or something? You two can't stop licking each other's asses on here.

 

No, see, "don't care" would give you a complete poll that would encompass all board members and their possible opinions (which you guys don't want...you want everyone to agree with you).

 

As for the same threads popping up over and over, it's either the same dozen suspects on here who continually start these threads or people who signed up within a week and are under level 30. It's not exactly great company to be in.

 

 

 

 

See what I have to put up with? The last thread ended with your side insulting the other too, lets just discuss this like adults instead of throwing names.

 

If you don't care, don't vote, simple as that. Why are you even on here if you don't care? God, some people.

 

When soliciting opinions on a public forum, you might just get some feedback that doesn't make you happy. So sorry I occasionally interrupt the flow of tears with logic.

 

"What you have to put up with" lol...you replied to a post not directed at you. You asked for it.

 

 

Dont you insult me by saying im a gay and licked a man's a*s boy, because surely the woman who gave you birth surely knows im not a "gay".

 

1 - Didn't call you gay.

2 - Being called gay is an insult? Homophobe.

3 - I don't know if either of you has a dick, but neither has any balls.

4 - Oooooooh, mother insults...how schoolyard.

I didnt insult your mother, i only mentioned something she knows lol

If you look at the first post I've made in this thread, you'll find no insults directed at anyone. I merely said that, as non - jet vehicles can't dodge homing launchers properly, it would be fair (in my opinion) to give non - jet vehicles flares.

 

Then other posts come in.

 

"Another thread with somebody's opinion?? Get rid of it!"

 

"I really don't care about this thread, which is why I've opened it up and posted a comment telling everyone this."

 

"You have an opinion, and it doesn't match mine. Therefore you lick people's anuses and have no balls."

 

I'm not going to feel bad about about quoting such posts and revealing their flaws.

Really? Seems like that's directed at me. And you're not even giving feedback that disagrees with me - you're on here saying how you don't care. The poll asks for a yes or a no, to find out who wants flares, and who doesn't. If the goal was to find out if you care or not, it would simply ask you.

 

You're like some weird stalker or something. Always ending up in these threads (which you "don't care" about), and always spreading your hate as usual.

 

 

Thanks for proving you're a child.

 

That post is in response to YOU responding to a post not directed at you, you simpleton, hence my question to you, since you had to run to defend your pal.

 

You're posting on a public message board and then think it's weird that people who regularly visit said board respond to things posted, whether in agreement or not? That makes sense. Plus, I've posted in exactly TWO threads you guys have made...not exactly stalker material, son.

 

You guys love to throw the word "hate" around, but obviously, you don't understand what that means. "Hate" is not having a differing opinion. Look it up and you'll see yourself (or just wait until you get that far in your vocabulary class).

 

"Don't care" isn't about the thread...it's about the topic, and its inclusion in the poll would have made it balanced properly. I neither want or don't want flares...I don't care. That's a legitimate opinion. But not having the option, you limit the amount of people who contribute to your poll or force them to vote based on the "lesser of two evils". It's a lot like American politics, actually.

 

Once again, all you two want is people to agree with you, then you whine more when someone voices their opinion.

"you're a child", "simpleton", "son", "wait until you get that far in your vocabulary class", "you whine". If that's not hate, what is? Your posts are 50% insults, 50% BS.

 

And if you don't care, you don't have to vote. Better yet, stop following people around to threads on topics you don't care about. The poll is not about who cares, it's about whether or not flares should be added. You either agree with that, or disagree with that, or don't care (in which case there's no point in voting - you bring the poll no closer to a conclusion).

 

I don't care about American politics either, and I don't care if you don't like seeing these threads. Don't bother replying, you're incapable of making a well thought - out argument. It's just babbling on, and posts that are puffed out with petty insults that basically amount to "I don't like having people make these threads".

It's not hate, it's identifying who you're speaking to, which I have.

 

Check out whose posts are getting liked and whose posts are not...more people agree with me, sorry. (Original post, one like...you lol)

 

And someone not caring IS about whether flares should be added or not. So sad that you can't understand how a balanced poll works.

Hmm, no one else seems to be doing this whole "identifying" thing, i.e. repeatedly insulting others (hate basically) :sarcasm:

 

The poll is for opinions. "Don't care" is not an opinion. If you don't have an opinion to vote with, you don't need to vote. Simple right? Take American politics as an example: if you don't want to vote for either party, you don't vote for the "I don't care" party; you simply don't vote.

 

More people agree with you on what? You didn't come to the thread with an opinion? Also, you have maybe 3/4 likes, all off the same person ... right. If you're talking about whether or not flares should be added, looks like 70% are against you.

 

Honestly ...

This isn't exactly a military simulator. Technically, against the current HM launcher flares wouldn't work like they're supposed to since you don't get warned while the lock is taking place, you only get warned once the missile leaves the launcher. For you to break the lock using flares the proper way the warning tone should beep as the HM is trying to lock (prior to launching), so the lock won't happen on the jet/helo. Once the missile is locked on the aircraft it's too late to use flares, that's when chaffing (spreading metal particles) would be useful, and much prettier imo.

 

All that to say flares wouldn't do anything unless they just nerfed the missile chasing you once you flare... which wouldn't be cool imo.

Just fly in circles ...that's the GTAV "flare".

The poll is for opinions. "Don't care" is not an opinion.

 

 

Maybe you need to look up the word "opinion" as well.

 

Oh, and it's tough to know how many people would agree with me on the poll itself since there was no option made for it.

I am not much an expert, but i know flares can fool infra red guided missiles(like the homing launcher in GTA)where chaffing works against radar guided missiles.The flares you are talking about is maybe the flare gun?

...which brings up an interesting point...even if they would implement flares, who's to say they'd work properly or even at all? Oh, the threads that would come if that ever happened...

The option "dont care" in a poll is the dumbest idea ever.If you dont care go to an another thread or play GTA online the little time remaining before the hl gets nerfed or aircrafts get buffed.

It's only dumb if you don't care about having a proper or accurate poll, which you do not.

 

As for if Rockstar will actually do anything, I guess we'll see, but here's the thing...I don't care if they change it either. I'd rather them keep everything as is, but it won't affect my game one iota. See, some of us can handle a grown-up game...maybe you should learn to as well.

Actually you didn't need to put it in. Considering this thread has had over 500 views and only 44 people voted, is proof enough that most people "don't care".

Good thing the other 456 people didn't start moaning on about the thread. No, those people acted like adults and moved on, allowing the people who have an opinion on the matter to vote.

I would like to see them in some helicopters and large aircrafts, also it would give some interesting aspect while fighting to another armed aircraft instead of whoever has a lucky hit wins, also it should have considerable cooldown

This. Anyone who's been in a Savage vs Savage fight knows it's usually just missiles all over the place, then one or more of you die.

I don't know about last gen but on PS4 you cannot lock-on to unarmed aircraft with the Homing Launcher, the only exceptions are the gold luxor and gold swift which seem bugged as they cannot be flown in passive mode either.

 

The jets can easily avoid homing missiles and do not need flares, the only things that need flares are the armed helicopters, they are now useless, it's too difficult to avoid homing missiles in them which makes them a huge waste of money.

The unarmed aircraft thing is actually just a glitch, and sadly Rockstar have said they're working to fix that.

Maybe I do come off a bit rough, I'll grant you that, but his point is not valid. If someone wanted a poll to actually mean something, they would make it so all opinions could be accounted for. This is a topic of interest to me, even though I don't care whether flares get added or not, and I'm sure others feel the same way. Because of the lack of proper options, I voted "no" (since I'd rather there not be more changes) because that's closer to the truth than "yes" was...it still isn't the truth, though.

There are no other choices than adding flares or not so what are you saying doesnt make any sense at all.

Think of it this way. Imagine there's an "I don't care" option. Whoever looks at the results will glance at that, cross it off and look at the yes/no votes (to gain an idea of how many people want or don't want flares).

 

A "don't care" option, is pointless then. It doesn't tell anyone anything, other than that whoever voted for it hasn't made up their mind, or just doesn't care. Yes/no votes though, point you towards an actual answer to the question (whether or not flares should be added).

Exactly. You can't have half a flare, partial flares, etc.

 

And having a no vote/don't care option would be useless. Even if it was there, and a lot of people voted for it, what do you do with that?

 

Imagine if you had that with a government/political parties, an option to vote "I don't vote" - if this was to get a majority, what would you do with that? Just not have any government at all?

LOL...kids.

 

It wouldn't be useless...it would tell you that a large, or small, or medium, percentage of the community doesn't care about what you were so passionate about that you started a thread about.

 

Time for me to move on and let this thread die like the rest.

 

Toodles.

Lol what a dumba*s you are.You havent even clarified which intermediate solution you want, always talking bullsh*t in a strage language and changing argument.Also you are a liar because if you didnt care you wouldnt vote.Congratulations you earned the bit*h achievement.
