Bottom tier Elo players should have to drive Dark-Age farm equipment mechs walk around as infantry.

Fixed.

And by the way, trial mechs just got replaced by protomechs. Enjoy!

Clans come in stars (5 mechs), not lances( 4 mechs).

My mistake. So it'll be a 5 vs 16 then.

Flip it... Low Elo player should have access to the Clan equipment.

If the Elo elite are so splendiferous, they should be more than capable of battling back a bunch of noobs in Clanner rides!

That's not actually a bad idea....

Not when you consider that PGI likes money.

Well yes. And not only that, it will last a whole 30 seconds while we cockpit shot all the Clan mechs stuck against one of the many buildings in River City. Wasn't that my point?

GG close.

Hey, a lot of the bottom tier players kind of fight like clanners... they just run around and scatter, try to engage everyone on their own, abandon any attempt at tactical movement.

FupDup's suggestion of infantry is pretty awesome though too.
Seriously though. Industrial mechs.
This one looks like a cow.

Last time I checked, us trueborn are bred to be the best warriors. Freebirth do not deserve to pilot such mechs of power.

Has a Trueborn ever destroyed a full cluster of Elite Pulltops! Solo??? No? Comeback when you have that bragging right! Kthnx!!!

Clan mechs and most clan tech is EXTREMELY expensive, and traditionally better players will have more money on hand (c-bill wise), also making them ELO capped will prevent PGI from actively selling them for MC without cries of P2W abound.

so basically, no.

Clanners don't focus fire they 1v1! Thus clanners should always lose is MWO.

[kesuga7]

Would you still have suggested this if you your-self were a LOW-ELO player?

PGI likes money. Restricting access to the (presumably) best-selling feature of the game to date to a small pool of players would make zero financial sense. And if PGI has any kind of sense it's the financial kind.

Also think how many bads would quit the game when they realized that they would never pilot a Clan 'mech.

I may be wrong, but aren't there other games that require some leveling up to obtain the best gear/character?

It would create balance and people would be forced to play better. If they played better they would get rewarded with a clan mech.

We are already restricted to running big mechs to maintain a 90% win rate. If we don't then we get put with the worst assaults pilots available. It's too hard to carry a team without having some armor.

What on earth does leveling up have to do with your suggestion to make them Elo-resricted?
