well,
the anti merger comes from the desire and initial premises of the game with some flavors of doubts and hate against the system it self.
primarily, the biggest thing that people from the anti merge side is
playing on campaings that people don’t want.
second,
the lack of information and overshadows.
now, majority of informations have been layed out, but i get a feeling those weren’t really digestible for common enlisted user with attention spam of 5 minutes ( and above all, separated over more than 7/10 threads across one year. which people might have missed. on top of the still not answered questions up until recent, only strenghtened the opposition. )
third anti merge notion / thought is often associated with war thunder management system
from what everyone can see, there’s a huge portion of people that distain the war thunder system and enlisted will be precisely similar. and, weather it be the lack of finding a digestible one mega thread, weather it be those individuals can’t find the answer they are looking for, or general dislike, it didn’t helped to get a rough picture based on war thunder.
especially with uptiers and what not.
speculations more than often hurted the overall picture.
and last notion, al be it, a small portion, historical accuracy thrown out of the window
( like there ever was one the " brightest " might point out. but the idea of being too closely to being non historical and not realistic )
which, as someone else putted it better, it doesn’t really matter.
as, for the growth of enlisted, having more than 6 campaigns it’s both unpractical and unsustainable in the long run.
also, the system it self was also made for somewhat more accessibility.
as, it didn’t really made sense to not have specific equipment just because it’s locked behind one campaign.
example, mp34s. bikes, tanks and what not.
so, allow to grind more stuff and use it outside the prefixed campaigns those were in.
it’s not about having a cult or what have you.
but people with genuine concern and somewhat escalate to nitpicks and outright dissatisfaction.
as… changes aren’t always welcomed when you are used to normality.
but i’m not sure those people would listen to reason.
some do, others do not.
in the end, what matters, is that the merge drops in a functional and stable state ( more that they fix the core issues such as correctly transfer stuff to the new enlisted, refund the slots, and carry over the cosmetics as well as fix the overall system ) .
then, in the future, adjust minor / major issues that the matchmaker will bring.
over the current system, and the merge, without a doubt the merge will be better.
at the same time, it will have to make sacrifices and change for a better game ( in theory ).
