Feel the need for change?

[Rob ITST]

Anything is possible as far as new rules for character setups, but right now there are no plans for any new rules.

A rule about risk shots is not really possible, since you cannot tell for sure that your opponent is using them.

Hmm that said, the 40-90 rule is still what is valid for the Tournaments right? No Sim Tour will see daylight in a near future?

I have to say as well, you guys are making me nervous. The season hasn't even been going on 2 weeks and there's already too much talk about needing new rules. But judging by the 2 polls that have started, it seems that most people want to just leave it alone.

when "change" is in motion, you have to judge result way differently from what you see. this is not a radical change, it's a side change, something that may change a lot your life as well as leave it as it is. as a general rule, more people are against these changes than the one that are in favour. changes means first of all...well, changes, meaning that you have to modify something you already have. modify means losing time on it. not everyone wants to "lose time" on something. i'm not talkin about ts3, just in general. plus, most people aren't able to foresee what that change will bring. a man, 'cause of his nature, rather stay with what he has if that brings him acceptable results rather than risking a sudden downfall. i mean, i'm not talking about changing my lifestyle...it's just a little-medim change, why risk that much? he does not think the risk of a rise is enough to risk a fall, hope u understand me, it's late and i'm 2 tired 2 use a nice english the other side of the moon is that a man can simply say "yes, let's change" because he's simply not being comfortable with what he has but he's not thinking about how he can fit in the alternative possibility. still, these men are not even nearly the number of the people that say "no, i don't wanna change" because he's afraid or simply too lazy to think about the possibility of doing something different compared to what he usually does. people that does not look beyond their fence are far more than people that look beyond it and understand it's not good to go there. it's easy to think about what you have, less easy to think about how you may have can influence what you have. it's even more difficult if you feel like what you have make you feel decently good.
so, if a community answers 50% yes and 50% no to the question "do you want to change stuff, the real average outcome should be that a 30-35% really wants a change and 15-20% doesn't really want a change. the rest is statistic rubbish, speaking clearly.

those marketing/psychology-like things well apply to our situation. btw, i'm not saying this because i voted yes. i believe a change is needed because it will make layout more realistic and matches more realistic. i'd suck at the same manner, my problem is the patch, not the layout

Correct. The 40-90 rule is still in effect.

@ Pogagna:

First, any decisions we make about things such as this are motivated by only one thing - what is best for ITST and it's players. There is no resistance to change other than the belief that it is not necessary or desireable.

From a players perspective, anything resembling the "color" rule would greatly benefit me - my character basically fits into that rule anyway. But that isn't my concern, my concern is that it would not be good for the tour.

But really, if you look at the poll, only 36 people responded. That is exactly half of the actual players in the Australian Opne tournament, and only half of the responders voted 'Yes'. I have to assume that the ones who did not vote are happy with the way things are, which would mean that about 75% want to keep the rule the way it is.

And I do agree that the game would be more realistic. But that doesn't mean it would be better.
