I like Amvel's idea of an always ready checkbox

Would make sense for people that don't use the chat window.

The ready Button is pure evil. I will not and sit and wait a full minute to play for 3-4 mins. I have better things to do.

Whats the reason of clicking LAUNCH when you are not ready?
I assume that they wanted MWO lobby, but

Chatting:
Whole thing can be sum up with "gl", "hf" "gg" ..but what else you can say when dropping with random guys?

Battle plan:
Again the strategy phase is "left or right?" , upper or lower?. No need for a lobby for that.

The only thing the trolololo Ready button achieved is that people are going ape **** when somebody doesn't press it.

Aaa.. forgot one thing: the chat become more elaborated people are now spamming "press $@#! ready"

The turn around time on games is too long.

30 seconds to a minute to load my damn mechs.
Matchmaking
Load map
Wait for all players to be ready
Unskippable start up sequence

With the huge C Bill nerf anything which makes match turn around times even longer is NOT a good move.

Opt 'out' of being ready? nice touch. Can see trolls doing that instantly just to get you Ready haters angry and exploit this in game. I've been seeing it happen already. Then you KNOW it's deliberate.

Something to keep in mind with the ready button and at least the traditional view of Battletech: It's a team game. Not CoD in Mechs. You're supposed to spend that time putting a plan together and telling each other what kinda stuff you're packing so you can work together. I know this is hearding cats in a PuG, but not always, and if I know I have a few big brawlers, and I'm running a light mech, I'll be happy to fetch them fresh meat if I can or scout for the LRM boats. But if I don't know? Jenner's goin a' capping and ignoring you all.

So when I see someone rage away over the button, I hope he's on the other team. His mind is only on himself and not even the game at that.

You might be on a 4 peopl group and all of a sudden someone decided to move you around. That is not helpful at all since you can no longer quickly identify your team mates by color on the mini map

Yes you can, in fact. Your team mates are the "not red" ones.

I love the ready button its hilarious to see which troll is going to race to the command button and then no one listen to them.--->>Pug Commander---->>>

[Event Horizon]

Please remove it, does more harm than good.
