Speeders should not EVER be enabled on Iricia. Here is my reasoning.

The speeder deteriorates the game play.

How does the speeder deteriorate the game play?

Bikes already deteoriate the game play significantly. Speeders would only further this because of their ability to fly over walls. Walls present some obstacles to bikes that speeders do not. They limit the flow of motion not allowing them to reach the base.

Jetpacks are used to capture the bases then. Bikes compared to speeders, speeders would be much more efficient at this, and they have weapons. Speeders ability to elevate allows them to fly over the walls that stop bikes, basically acting as a built in jetpack.

Base laming is already a problem, added in with speeders it would be disastrous, alienating Zone players. It would make Zone unfriendly to new players, because they could warp into a map and see this flying thing (Speeder). What would happen? The speeder would kill them. They'd get mad and try to get them back. They'll say,"Oh wait! I can't kill this?! Why should I keep on playing??"

The players are not represented fairly in this poll, and you would be fool to believe otherwise. The in-game polls, are polls from the players that can send PM's, and know how to.

Many of the trials do not know how to send PM's which makes the information presented by your in-game polls next to useless. Combined with the fact that they are the ones who would be most impacted by this decision, it is incredibly unfair to propose this because of their unfair representation.

Speeders have been used in game play before. They were used on the Zone Wars map. Because of the difficulty in killing them, even with a beam, they were removed from the map. Can't you learn from the past to help build a foundation upon which we can use in the future? It was not a mistake in the past, they thought their arguments through.

You may be in a panic because of the lower playercount, but making the player's happy today doesn't mean they will be happy tomorrow. They are as happy as they make up their minds to be, and I believe content could be much more encouraging to earn and keep players than to give them overpowered vehicles.

Our efforts should be focusing on new content, not introducing vehicles that are overpowered to the game scaring off our few players.

It also is not common sense to some players that blue light, AKA electrons, and streamers freeze and disable vehicles.
