Please don't lecture me on good forum etiquette, I have been running and administering forums for many years and do not need your input.
 
Let's look at the facts.
 
Up until his post the time line was as follows.
 
I posted on here after a particularly frustrating session on server 2 where every side mission was failed or spoiled by a couple of the usual suspects either bringing vehicles to the side mission when the only possible outcome of that scenario is a fail. Or people using AT to the same end.
 
There were then a couple of ON SUBJECT posts (Yours included) which although I feel where a bit wishy washy and non committal and basically admit there is a problem but say that we have to play wacky races to finish the side missions were offering opinions to the subject.
 
At that point PiranhA took it upon himself to step in on behalf of ALL AHOY members (of which he isn't one by the look of his tag) and to point out that I was insulting afore mentioned members. There was no constructive suggestions to my original post at all, not even a "Suck it up" suggestion like the previous ones.
 
THIS could actually be considered trolling if taken by it's definition.
 
The reason I posted this on here originally is that I was playing on an AHOY server, not an IGN server or Bohemia server but an AHOY server and although I have tried explaining the way side missions work IN GAME it is not the easiest was to do it as you're chat disappears too quickly and the in game voice comms isn't for this purpose.
 
My  hope was that if just ONE person who does this kind of thing read it and thought "Hey, that's me that does that, so that's why the side mission fails" and didn't do it again it would be a win. but obviously this is not the helpful, receptive forum that I assumed it was and will not bother posting again with this kind of attitude prevalent.

Now this is going to sound VERY strange to a lot of the players out there and will involve engagement of the brain and possibly some sort of reading skills.
 
How about people actually try READING the side missions and actually trying to complete them rather than just rolling in with a Growler or Slammer and blowing the INTEL or Person away and failing it?
 
Is it too much to ask that if all you want to do is kill stuff then stay at the main AO and leave the side missions alone.
 
There are some of us who actually like to take our time, get into position, plan an attack then try executing it to WIN the side mission and possibly more toys for you guy's to play with. I'm sick to death of spending 20 - 30 mins just getting in to the Side Mission area, finding a vantage point, scoping it out only to have a vehicle or a squad come charging in and failing the whole thing in seconds. they then shrug, call for EVAC and head off to the AO like nothing happened.
 
On a serious note, Can we not implement a no vehicle and AT zone for the Side Mission AO's? Vehicle re spawns when it enters the Side Mission Zone and AT do no damage?
 
I know it's a long shot but tbh at the moment Side Missions are a pointless frustrating exercise.

So what you're saying is only members visit and read the forums?
 
If you really want to be that touchy and take it as a personal insult then you go ahead, I never stated it was members or non members who were the issue.

If you take into consideration this post is on the ahoy forum were 99% of the people know how to play and read, it might be taken as an insult. The ahoy members are not the problem here, its the ones who arent a member who couse the problem.

A bit more messy than Dai-San's setup, but it works for me until I can get moved around a bit, changed the keyboard from the razor chroma to a corsair k95 as the chroma's plastic keys are crumbling, also had to replace the mouse with a logitech g502 as my g9x was accidentaly damaged in a fit of rage and frustration, and I'm trying out the rhino x55 hotas to see if its and better than  the x52pro.
