I'm not asking the refund of my Phoenix Overlord because of suppose lies about 3rdPV and unified queues. I'm asking the refund because adding 3rdPV was a very bad decision - it's ruining the game and you devs refuse to listen to the community's feedback. It's a stubborn attitude that most end for the sake of your game's future.
- 3rdPV doesn't make the game easier for new players - but harder;
- 3rdPV breaks the immersion;
- 3rdPV adds a big layer of exploit;
- 3rdPV encourages the most noxious metagame (sniper/poptarting);
- 3rdPV weakens (or nullifies) the role of the scouts.
I want MWO to be a great success. I want to resume playing the game. But if you won't listen to me and the other paying costumers, my only option is to hurt your wallet.
I will keep watching the forums in the hope that you guys realize how bad your 3rdPV impacted the community and completely review this feature (like you did with coolant) - the best thing to do, IMHO, is to remove it completely right now. If you do this, I might re-buy my Phoenix Overlord. But if you take too long to take action, well, maybe it will be too late for me and many more players to come back.
Best regards,
from your former fan,
Fernando
PS: I don't know who said you would be millionaires with this game. You won't. You won't be a World of Tanks because Battletech cannot compete with World War II. We, hardcore Battletech fans are what you got. We buy Founders. We buy Phoenix. You should value us. But you are deliberating scraping your foundation in trade of an empty hope. Do you think you will get hordes of new players by dumbing down the game? You won't. Because for the ignorant console-player teenager, MWO is just another game of big robots - and there are dozens out there.
