Is there any way to report team killers? Serious game killer, and I don't see anywhere to report or votekick or anything.

Sadly there is only the support email, which is very disapointing. You should be able to right click on a persons name from the tab button screen in game and have choices such as report for : TD/TK. Then it would be easy enought for the log to include the game for support members to check and veify. Also I'd add a 3 warning rule for people who "abuse" the system. With the 3rd time a perment lock out of using it.

Blizzard uses a system for afkers in battlegrounds that could be reworked for this. You find the person and report them afk (in this case TD/TK) and if 2 or more players do it they get a debuff cuts them from any points of any type for the match and then kicks them. Perhaps have it make them lose all money/xp from the match and (when R&R come back) make them pay for damages to your mech.

Also, when collisions come back it will have to be balanced somehow for those bad/laggy pilots who hit you... sometimes its not on purpose (i do it sometimes coming out of the start zones) and it wouldn't be fair for a punishment just because you hit someone on accident and didn't mean to run into them.

And to prevent abuse, the system would need to be able to record if a player has actually damaged an ally (using what will likely become a negative damage system) to actually be able to show this.

A player by the name of [REDACTED] or something like that, killed two teammates at spawn today. He even bragged that he does this frequently.

Considering TKs are logged by the game stats (players receive an XP penalty for doing so), I imagine they're able to easily filter out repetitive TKers and take corrective action without you needing to report it.

There is an Official Thread regarding how to report nefarious players who teamkill, cheat, etc. Currently you have to send an emauil to support@mwomercs.com with a description of the event and possibly a screenshot (if it's feasible). The support staff are the only ones with administrative access to players' in-game accounts; the Forum Staff have to go through the Support route to do anything about in-game activity, so they request that all reports of in-game activity go straight to Support. Here is the link to that thread:

http://mwomercs.com/...ploitsgriefing/

Eventually, they will add an in-game tool to report players, but until then we have to send an email to Support.


Also, on a second note, there is a forum policy against naming players specifically and making accusations of illicit in-game behavior on the forums; it's referred to as the name and shame policy. Here's a link. http://mwomercs.com/...dated-20130226/ It's meant to prevent arguments on the forums and to direct these kinds of reports to the Support team at support@mwomercs.com

Thanks for understanding everyone.
