Casual or Expert? When will it stop?

Good morning, afternoon and evening!

A simple question when you look at these screenshots; is this Casual or Expert?
The members who have been around for years can relate; the famous ‘Ident Pilots’…
No clue why but how is it possible that these kind of people are granted access to the Expert Server? Just how, someone tell me?

I think my screenshots speak for itself.
I’m disgusted that I keep encountering these people, no matter where.
The callsign, the taxi skills, the awareness, the allround knowledge… All missing in this situation yet access to the Expert Server is granted because ‘landings and xp farming’!

A couple simple questions towards the IF Staff team;

  • Why can’t we remove these people from the ES?
  • And why aren’t you making it mandatory to have a linked account to track these troublemakers down and punish them for their behavior towards those who want to have a peaceful flight?

It can’t be possible that half of the community is fighting about their ‘Live’ access and the other half is fighting with these Ident pilots who mess everything up..

What is really important? A clean server with behaving pilots who want to enjoy their flight or come up with more features that attract even more Ident pilots thus creating more problems for the ‘good pilots’?

It’s simply annoying to me, people not looking at problems and solving them but creating even more.. Why? Is it fun or what’s the reason behind it?

Anyways, screenshot time, as said above they speak for themselves.

And I bet I’m not the only one losing patience and losing the will to fly because nothing is changing.
The problem will continue and get even worse until some proper fixes come around to tackle these ‘roque sky rangers on the loose’

It may sounds funny but this reminds me about Despicable Me 2, yellow vs purple minions but it’s sad in reality…

This isn’t a rant by the way but more a wake up call. I could even send a couple dozen more screenshots but I keep it with this as the intentions of this person are clear.

Anyways, to the good pilots here; happy flying, safe skies and heads up, they will be gone one day!

Mods, please move my topic to the proper category if I posted it in the wrong one, many thanks!

Thats crazy, even crazier in a Lufthansa A380 Sunexpress :joy:

I agree though, there should be higher standards for the ES..

Couldn’t agree more… this is why I avoid featured airports as much as possible… and even sometimes this is not enough to avoid these braindead players…

This happened to me at KJFK. I was landing on 4R and this other person decided to takeoff on 4R (its not even used for takeoffs). They decided to wait until I was on short final, literally 2nm from the field, to line up and wait and cause me to go around. Within the last 2-3 years expert server has gone down

Hey there. Unfortunately this doesn’t follow the Screenshots and Videos category rules. Furthermore, as frustrating as these situations can be, public exposure topics are not allowed.

Great ignoring the problem is always a good idea…

Dude this is definitely an ongoing problem, I have noticed a lot more noobs in the expert server recently making some interesting decisions and procedures

Unfortunately you can’t teach common sense, and some folks just don’t have it, so unless the ES minimum reqs increase this will be a long term problem.

The problem is that everyone always expects everyone to behave as they should, which never happens. Not in real life and not in the app.
