Actually no, you're stupid for coming here and whining about it on the forums, you're just ignorant for what led to you posting here. Trust me, you posting here has been one of the funniest things for me so far today. Please keep it up. Although the first rule to get out of a hole is stop digging, but I doubt you even want out now.


Countdown to the puppetmaster defence begins now you've said this.

My failure was never in doubt. The design and goal of the company to milk a bit more out of people with such a small failure is the point.


What? You admit to your failure but still blame the company? If they were trying to milk us with this (BTW, every company in the world tries to milk you), it would had been in fine print hidden well within the articles. Instead it was easy to see and devs came flat out and said what would happen on multiple occasions. This one is all on you.

I'm wondering what nefarious tricks they used to get your Founder's money in the first place. Maybe a plastic sammige on a string or other equally diabolic plot.

Pretty straight forward trick. Insult me all you want for getting caught by it, but call it anything other than an intentional underhanded strategy they pulled and you just indicate you've probably been caught by similar ones before and don't even realize it.

I KNOW!

This company is so EVIL!

They "scammed" a whole 1 person with their efforts!

Its funny you keep saying reading comprehension, because obviously you didnt read or comprehend the open beta email everyone got.

You keep searching for excuses, but after you calm down in a few days, you will just feel like an id*ot.

I find it more humorous that most people have long ago ignored any actual stated facts and just continued to insult and rage more than anything. I'm finding it entertaining myself.

In case you didn't notice, not everyone has 4 hours a day to read all the volumes of poorly organized information this company had on the website at the time; nor did I have a matter of days to find it before all this occurred.


If I spent as much money as you did on this game, I would definitely find the time. That is my point. If it takes you 4 hours to find information on this website (I actually have found these forums/website to be well laid out) who has reading comprehension problems now?

Clearly the facts are unclear to half the people deciding to merely repond with vitriol.

Takes him 4 hours...takes me (at most) 9 minutes (was closer to 5), as that's how long from his OP it took me to dig up the link to the final E-mail for OB.

There is literally no way for someone to be this completely obtuse and still figure out how to use a keyboard. Troll.

You called the fact that I was enjoying the humor alongside everyone else as we all ignorantly ranted on against each other?

Please explain what that has to do with this "puppetmaster" you speak of. I thought it was more akin to partisanship in the US Federal government.

So does that make this a real display or a carefully orchestrated performance of one? Either way it's entertaining.

The facts are that you feel you were in some way mislead about when the MC resets were going to stop. From what I've seen, no one else has expressed a similar view.

Which seems more likely to you - that you are in the wrong on this one, or that literally everyone else should be outraged that you thought MC resets would continue forever?

You posted an angry rant. No one went along with you on your angry rant. Now you're rolling with the punches and going "LOL LOOK AT THE FUNNY THREAD".

Yes. I am stupid for not reading my email for 3 days before loging into a video game and playing it by the same patterns I did for the last month.


Dude, it's 21st century. Not checking email for 3 freaking days is about as dumb as it gets. Not to mention that PGI announced that start of OBT was going to be the final wipe literally months prior to the actual OBT start. Oh, and your tears are delicious.

Unfortunately, I try to actually read everything. As this whole thread makes evident, most people read 2 lines and the scream bloody murder about a million assumptions and incorrect facts that they perceived.

Sounds like they probably missed the reset timing, too, and just don't want to admit; but decided they were going to play the game anyhow and not get upset. Better the claim they knew than admit they got caught.

No I see your facts, and I'm telling you the info was available for a long time. In fact you had more info on what was going on since you had access to the beta forums. Further, on the homepage there was a rather large announcement that it was going Open beta when it did.

All you are doing is trying to write off your mistake as the company is trying to swindle you and is fly by night. If they were doing either of those, the majority here would be agreeing with you or long gone by now.

They can talk all they want prior to October; take a look at the date they stopped selling the accounts.

Not tha tlogic has anything to do with any of the replies here.

And yes, tweener. It's the best way to describe the reading comprehension and intelligence level of the people here. Perhaps I shouldn't assume so much based on their statements.


I just also happened to tutor Logics in college. I was asked by my instructor to do so.

The lack of logic is not on my side.

PGI has stated multiple times prior to Open Beta that after Open Beta they would not refund MC. The game went into Open Beta and at that time the labeling and look of MWO changed. The obvious conclusion is that MC will not be refunded.

If you came to a different conclusion then you were not using logic.
