2.) So keep audio-comms clearn during battle, they are ONLY for tactical needs that are required in THIS moment.
3.) If you want to cry, complain or lecture other people, use text chat. So everybody can deceide to read it or not.
4.) No, I won't mute all my 11 teammates at the start, just to avoid that 1 who is acting egoistic. No, I won't open the screen, search the talking egoist and mute him while I have to concentrate on the macht.
5.) YOU (the one who thinks he can force his presence into the minds of 11 others by talking into their headsets) are the one who annoys everybody else, don't be so impudent to demand they have to acccept or change anything. YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR BAD BEHAVIOR!
Same goes for me and my faults...
I had to get this off my chest...

About the only point I agree on is don't whine. There's nothing wrong with banter but whining is for Clanners.
If you don't like them, mute them, if you don't want to mute him, that's on you. If you're "concentrating" so hard he should be the equivalent of background noise and subconsciously muted in the first place. Too loud to subconsciously mute? Turn down the volume in settings...
Or just mute him when you're dead. Nothing to concentrate on then.

MUTE FUNCTION?
So rather than have a big old sook about it. Probably maxed out your daily reports as well... Just grow up and mute.
Very simple.

This.
People have every right to call out idiotic plays that they see. If you don't like it, mute or block. I'm sick and tired of egotistic quiet-types who selfishly hide in the back and then mount their high horse when they hear someone complain about it. People are especially sick about doing a measly 600-odd damage only to find that not only it is the highest in the team but highest by a margin of 200 damage or more and all of that happened inside 5 mins.

Yes there are tools, such as the mute option, for dealing with silly people. That's great, and I use them the moment someone is useless on comms. But that doesn't mean useless comm clutter is justified, the less people you have to mute people the better imo.

But I would think twice to play this if I couldn't use the mute function. Sometimes it can prove to be very relieving...

Agreed.
I was in a match last night where two players got into a huge donnybrook, one player even took time to check the other fellow's Jarls stats to add ammo to his diatribe.
Classic!
Good hunting,

Given the heat some people here are giving you, sometimes the only winning move is not to play.
COVID-19 is stressful enough. Play/do something else.

There have been times when I wanted to say "more shoot, less talk" as I am dying in the yellow circle while people discuss the fine points of heat management, but I restrained myself.

In my experience :
- Just blocking the dozen top offenders can significantly improve your MWO experience.
- If you want to do MWO a favor, there are options to report VOIP abuse. Moderation takes anything from 2 months to 2 years, but does get the job done.
- If you want to take a break or do a quick check on what MWO is like without those top drama queens abusing their mic to ruin it for you, you can try disabling voice IP in the audio settings for a few days. Suddenly all the audio bitching just fades away, and you can finally start enjoying the game instead...
Because although most mic users are not annoying, the problem is that most top annoyers do have a mic.
And if it's something worth saying, then it's something worth typing.

AKA, whose as easy kill for stat padding...
Jokes aside, that's actually a very good idea, I've always wished we could assign icons ( [] /\ O X ) to players on the score board for personal notation; friends, rivals, enemies, whose killed me, etc.

VOIP affords the opportunity to make sure you get the constructive criticism you deserve.
Yes, you are being judged by the 11 other people on your team as well as the 12 enemies.

Then my last mech got farmed at the dropzone by ~11 mechs, because my team didn't switch off it's VOIP and got stomped
So it's more efficient to switch VOIP off, but more fun to leave it on and block the bad apples manually really.
I'd switch VOIP off again when an event would benefit from it.
