To the whiners, complainers and BPM'ers: we will always have you around as good comic relief material to chuckle at. You are playing A GAME ON A COMPUTER - Get over yourselves and think for a moment that the world, nay the universe does not revolve around you or your own desires. If you didn't like the way that a particular weapons effectiveness was altered, your time to speak-up about it is OVER; it's not PGI's fault that you didn't understand what BETA TESTING is all about. Testers provide input to the Developers to assist in the development cycle. We will *not* miss you one single bit if you chose to stop playing MWO, and your commentary here in this late point in the Beta Test process is a joke. Do the Game Development Industry a favor and NEVER volunteer to Beta Test for another game, because your complaints NOW contribute NOTHING to the process, and only serve to show what massive jerks you are.
You are completely, hopelessly delusional. If you looked back at the old forums (which are now conveniently locked and/or hidden depending on what part you're looking for), you'd notice that we DID offer feedback on weapon balancing, early, often, and in a logical, comprehensive format.
We were ignored, as we were on everything else we took issue with. "Oh, but PGI took polls!" Yes, and all of them were either horribly biased (which is now ironically a bannable offense) or little more than a front for actions they planned to take regardless of community feedback, so they could claim they "listened to their customers."
If Beta wasn't the time for us to be heard since we were just "being entitled and the game isn't finished" and launch isn't the time to complain because "beta testing is OVER!!!1!one! (and the game's still not finished because lol 'line in the sand')", then when and where SHOULD we have raised complaints?
Nevermind, because according to people like you, we shouldn't raise complaints. We should be thankful that PGI brought the franchise back from the dead and is GIVING us a game to play FOR FREE. It's not like most of us funded their development process via crowdfunding before the game ever launched and should thus be treated with utmost respect both as customers and their initial invest-
Oh, wait.
MWO will have a bright future alright. It'll come from the glowing afterburners of the fanbase rocketing off to Star Citizen.
