I've read that there will be PVE and PVP, there is and always will be cryers of balance. World of Warcraft once had diverce classes with their strengths and weaknesses. However then people cried and blizzard listened. Now all the classes are "balanced" and lost what made each one special, so my question to you the developers is. If someone cries that something is overpowered because they can't work as a team to overcome a challenge brought to them by an enemy player. Are you going to tell them to grow up, or will you give in?

Also I would like to ask what you plan to make purchaseable with microtransactions. This being free to play you need to make money, that means microtransactions. Will we be seeing different stuff that is purely cosmetic alongside currency boosts. Take note will the currency boosts be reasonable?

Based on what the developers have said up to this point, there are currently no plans for PvE (AI Bots) in MechWarrior Online.

If you'd like to glean some more information about the transactions, balancing, etc they plan on imlementing, then you might enjoy the material they have posted in the various FAQs and Dev Blogs. There is a "PINNED" forum thread created by one of our Community Members on the top of the General Discussion page called "New Players Start Here" where you can find Links to just everything the Developers have posted, and I personally wrote a Useful Introduction to MW:Online which can be viewed in the PINNED threads, as well.

I hope this information proves useful; there's just too much information for a single thread to cover, so that's why I'm directing you to those particular threads. Have a good read! And of course, please feel free to kep posting away in the forums :( . I don't mean to disuede you from asking questions, it's just that these questions are frequently asked and so have been somewhat addressed by the community in the form of "informational posts."
