Sadly I do believe PGI does not really care about weather or not PUG pilots are on a level playing field with Premades. They are always preaching about getting on TS. That right there shows how they feel about PUG pilots.

There will never be seperate queues.

1. Map grids should be more ''granular''.
2. Every communication you make should be automatically prefaced by your grid position.
3. Should be one button which automatically reports your current target, its grid location and vector.
4. Should be one button each which says ''help needed'', ''attack this target''.

I weep when I think how quick and easy it would be to implement these simple compelling game enhancements.

This is feature that every modern MMO game have. Look at WoT, WoWP, WarThunder - they all gave "shoot this target" and "watch here" buttons. It's ridiculous that MWO doesn't have basic controls for team communication (chat is not a solution, it's impossible to type and fight at the same time).

You guys should keep it in mind that a target calling button will lead to that target being virtually vaporised before it knows what's happening. It's a good feature, but imagine yourselves standing toe to toe with the enemy Mech blob and YOUR Mech is targetted.

Make sure you know what you're asking for.

I want my teammates to be smarter, even if my enemy is just as smart. It will breed a better overall game.

Unless, you would like your trial mech teammates do nothing of consequence... which is what we have now.

I'm still baffled that we dont have command shortcuts like any other game.

i wanna be able to call for help with one or two key strokes. Simple stuff like "Need assistance" or "Contact"

This would help so much in PUG games.

This already happens regularly when I drop against even semi-organized opposition (as in, PUGs that have at least a modicum of cooperation, tactics, or skill).
