save a click, you have to send them out on command missions. You pick the team, you stay behind, wait 18 hours, see if they were successful or not. Its not going to count the squadron missions that you get to go with.
Command missions are those where you go together with your squadron into a dungeon, not the wait 18 hours one.
At least it was appropriate in context. Ya'll seriously need to cool it with this "necro" thing when someone is ACTUALLY making an appropriate use of forum features.
In this case, I assume this player came to the forums with a question, used the Search feature to find a thread that met their criteria and used that existing thread that was already on topic to post a follow up question...

Creating another brand new Thread number xx about an already existing topic for their one follow-up question.
Never said it was the wrong place for him to post, just said necro cause is a 2 year old thread.At least it was appropriate in context. Ya'll seriously need to cool it with this "necro" thing when someone is ACTUALLY making an appropriate use of forum features.

Necro is most often used in a negative connotation though.
As in, "Why necro a 2 year old thread?"
Granted that instance mostly applies to conversation-based topics, where someone is posting a sudden reply to a conversation that ended some time ago. Even then using an existing thread is still probably preferable, but an acknowledgement is usually nice... For example, "I know this is an old thread, BUT ________ is still something I would like to see implemented in game."
Information-based topics technically have no expiry date... since new players can start playing this game at any time and everyone is at various points of progress in a multitude of activities. I applaud them finding an existing thread relevant to their question and using that instead of making an additional thread about the same thing. Everyone doing the latter results in a jumble of topics kind of sort of about the same thing, but none of them having complete information.
