I'm sorry you cannot comprehend the pure fighter pilot skill that is the TOPGUN Academy. We are the BEST of the BEST!! The 1% of the 1%. You cannot gain this skill... You are only born with it. From your post it seems you were not born with this skill. I am sorry for your genetic inadequacy to any TOPGUN pilot. Maybe if you try very very very very very hard you could one day be skilled enough to be killed by a TOPGUN pilot. All that being said, you may be skilled enough to meet us on the volleyball court. We are always looking for fit well oiled men to play some beach volleyball with!!!!

I bet your the best at jumping up and down on couches too!

You can't be serious. You see no difference between the TT business model and th F2P MOG business model?

To play custom games (which if free will most certainly impact their bottom line) you will have to pay up, in either MC or Cbills

What?? If anything it cost a table top store more to pay for the brick and mortar than the server space. How will custom games change the "bottom line", if anything they would encourage people to buy more mechs to play different setups on the private matches. Lets say 2 clans decided to do an all Spider battle and I didn't own one, to get one quickly because the match sounded awesome I might buy some MC. Your solution is a massive cbill sink that would deter most players from a fun activity that would get them to spend more money on MC.

Being able to wager Cbills on a match is interesting but not necessary. I would rather see them keep an official record with scores similar to stats that would list individual 8 man teams stats and ELO. I am a fan of ELO for solo queue just being private and not visible but for teams it should certainly be easy to identify. Teams are more competitive and consistent in their performance. Your teams ELO and honor is on the line for a match not silly cbills.
