I've watched this forum since November 2011 till now. Every time I get on here I see something new, I learn something, and then I enjoy some decent discussions with people. Then it is just throwaway when someone gets righteous about something.
The average age of people who play this game and are fans of the IP are generally people over the age of 25. I am 19. Yet some of you act like you are younger than me. You are fully grown men and women. You have jobs, lives and even children. I haven't proven myself in the realm of real life but even I know how to be respectful even on the internet.
We are human beings, we get angry and mad. Do I get furious at a game sometimes? Of course. Do I start cursing, yelling, and insulting people? Yes, but that is the rare occasion otherwise I keep it to myself.
I don't quite get it. PGI has worked hard over the course of a few years or maybe less to get MWO to where it is now. As we've been told, some people don't leave the office til late at night. They resurrected a dead IP. How many people were playing MW: LL? As I've been told the servers never had more than 100 people total. There have been 5,000 view this forum in the past hour. Lets make that the vocal minority. 11.000 accounts, people. It will continue to grow as the game develops.
Founders; You didn't buy this game. The purpose always was that you were showing support for this game. Your money helped in the very beginning to make it. Some of you cry and asked for refunds after putting hours of playing into it. Acting like you bought a game and you were dissatisfied. Let me get this straight...You gave PGI money to make a game, you play the hell out of this game even though you knew it wasn't finished. You complain, you moan, and gripe and have the gall to ask for your money back? YOU PLAYED THIS GAME FOR HOURS ON END HAVEN'T YOU? This iphone, i've had it for a year. I still don't like the map on it. Better get a refund!
MC Buyers; The words are right there and you are almost in the same boat as founders. You play the game long enough and hard enough to to want premium time and skins. You want this content and you will be no better then you cry about how you wasted your money.
Free To Players; PGI has made this game because they wanted to. They like the IP. They wanted to make this game open and free to you. You play this game and start spouting hate and sling mud on them. You ignore every match you played and negate every good thing that you've gained from playing it. Did you not get enough gleeful satisfaction from getting the finishing blow on that mech? Was there not a single match where you came out and smiled? What would be the point if you just played matches to get angry and then moan and groan about it on a forum?
There are good people out there enjoying the game as it is. Then we have folks that deem it fit to instead state that PGI is something lesser. There are valid concerns and criticism underneath the anger and the stupid posts and I don't mean to paint it black. I just and pointing this post toward the unreasonable people who think that insulting PGI immersing them into the crowd or mob is helping. Getting angry and boiling over happens, I get that. I don't get...I don't see any bloody respect from you people who are supposedly grown, MATURE people. You act like the petulant kids of my generation disliking how their parents gave them the wrong type of phone.
I love this game. My brother lives a thousand miles away but me and him get on MWO daily and play it together. I get all these great memories when i join the teamspeak and win or lose I enjoy the game. I am blowing up mechs with my own damn skill or fail but I can still have a damn good time.
I don't hate you disrespectful people. I pity you.
Edit: I edited my post to clarify certain things. This was an emotional post and nothing is perfect. -Shrugs-
