If you just mean those who arrogantly post how they have x-y-z experience in the industry and discuss things they don't have the means to know ... sure.

However, it's perfectly ok and even good to discuss how to do a "better" mechwarrior video game.

On number 6: sometimes things are conceptually "easier" and can and should be discussed as such ... such as some fixes being "easier" than ghost heat, which is virtually opaque to casual players. However, yes, lots of people try and say it would be easier in the back-end based upon presuppositions that they can't possibly justify without first-hand knowledge of MWO's back end.

#7 - some of which have been online since 2011... *ZING*

#9 ... AMEN.

#10 ... only if your opponents enjoy smack-talking.

[WVAnonymous]

#10 is not dependent on your opponent's enjoyment. This game is about information warfare, remember?

[Sandpit]

Smack talk doesn't = being a dbag.

That's why I always discuss House Marik brand space bacon at the start of every match, psychological warfare. Can't fight effectively when you're thinking about scrumptious space bacon.

HEy we can still blame PGI for being bad at developing this game though right? Anyways Nice job!

Well that's entirely dependent upon your opinion of PGI.

I'm very critical of PGI on several things. Nothing wrong with calling people.companies out when they're wrong.

Possibly, but it's my island and on my island all women are topless and bacon is served at every mean, snack, and craving.

An island where people who actually like MW:O go
