This has got to be one of the saddest things I have seen in a while. You are charging players for CoH2 "lessons" without any guarantee you can deliver more in comparison to CoH2 "self-study" and/or free of charge mentors on this very website. Even with the No Cure No Pay, this feels like a fraud.

I have trained people for free before but I just don't have enough time/motivations anymore to do that for free, plus I feel I can provide a much more professional service if I can get something in return.

I provide students my knowledge on the game as well as customized tactical maps with my build/capping orders, together with unique challenges to let them improve on both micro/macro departments. People interested just contact me, have a chat and discuss about the lessons work and if they are not interested they can simply not book lessons at all, it's a legal system and I don't see any reason for it to be even remotely considered a fraud.

Honestly I don't get why you find it sad: since COH1 we provide (and I'm sure we'll do the same in the future) a mentor/mentee program every year where we help new players learning the game. I think that it's a nice feature we have but on the other side I also think it has some limitations, like the fact the motivations of a mentor to teach new people are very limited/don't last long and the amount of work/knowledge put into that is limited by the fact it's a volounteer based work.

If you book lessons with me and you are not satisfied/you don't feel you are improving then you can get all your money back, it's an automated process on the website where you book the lessons. For me it's an honest and fair way to spend my own time and for this reason I posted it here since the guy was looking for a coach: basically I just gave him an extra option over those who might want to help him for free

The guarantee of providing more than anything you could get for free is given by the fact that you can get all your money back if you are not satisfied/if you don't see improvements. For the rest the only thing I can use to gain people's trust is using my reputation and my role in the community and as player on both coh1 and coh2, which I hope is enough to let people realize I'm not trying to steal their money

I agree with pretty much all the changes and I'd like to add a small bit about MGs that I think you would agree with:

- When the MG of either factions is retreating, if the gunner is killed the MG is automatically given to another member while the squad keeps retreating (like in COH1) instead of having the squad stop and one member going to get the MG, which usually causes every single member of the MG crew to die in the attempt to grab the MG.

Hey, I'm a COH2 coach with more than 50 hours of coaching:

If you are interested you can contact me on COH2.ORG via PM.

What is the reason of giving tools to the worse player to be able to win a better player? How would you feel if you were in the position of the "better" player seeing you are clearly better than your opponent but that he is getting boosts to be able to beat you?

Don't you think it wouldn't be fair at all? And, how could you define who is the best if you put everyone on the same level by adding handicaps into the equation? There is no logic xD

As the title of the pool says I'd like to know what's the opinion of the users on COH2.ORG. Balancing COH2 is an hard thing to do and getting a perfect balance for all the game modes (1vs1,2vs2,3vs3 and 4vs4) is even harder to achieve, due to the number of variables/builds that you have to take into account, the different map design, the increased amount of units overall and of possible Commanders combinations/sinergies.

So, for which game mode would you like to see COH2 balanced the most? Just vote and if you want express your opinion, preferably in a short answer (no wall of texts please, I'd like to keep this pool/discussion short and simple). You are welcome to discuss about it together replying to each other if you feel like btw.

Have fun!

PS: I will directly moderate this thread if people start spamming/flaming/arguing too much with the each other. As I said I just want short and simple answers :3
