It's not an issue of being "listened to". It's an issue of being sold something that we have ALREADY paid for and have not received yet.

They sold us the game with founder's packs, and did not deliver. Then they sold it to us again with phoenix packages, and did not deliver. I'm supposed to believe that I'm actually buying something with a third expensive package?
It seems that you have misunderstood the packages. Those are preorder packs which grants you the right to be the first one to try out the new mechs while supporting the game. And so far they delivered exactly this.

If my investment as a founder and phoenix package purchaser is now "obsolete" then what would I expect to get from purchasing the clan pack? Most likely nothing. I have not yet gotten a working game, and my investment in the first two packages in now obsolete because of upcoming clan tech?
Strange... My game works perfectly fine. Even the crashes and HUD-problems are gone. I can remember quite well that last year large parts of the community cried "Screw new features, fix the game!" And they did exactly this, they fixed lots of technical issues. Now some of the same guys are whining about delayed features.
And can you enlighten us why Clan-Tech should make IS-Tech obsolete?
It is totally obvious that PGI's current course is to nerf them so hard that they fit IS-power level. So you can be totally sure that IS-tech will not get obsolete. The thing which should rather be discussed is if nerfing is the most elegant route to solve the clan power issues.

As I mentioned in another thread, at $230 I have ALREADY paid FOUR TIMES what a retail game like Battlefield 4 costs.
Seriously no one forced you to spend so much money. You could have had almost equal fun by spending only 50$ like i did.
You wanted to try out the new mechs first (and to get some unique stuff) and were willing to pay for that. It's totally unfair to attach your feature wishes to those purchases and demand things which never have been the content of those packs.
If you really want to compare your MWO spendings to retail PC games than at least do it with the special collector's editions, because basically you spend $230 for the MWO equivalent of a collectors edition. The standard Edition of MWO is the FREE one which is unbeatable in terms of 'bang-for-the-buck' compared to retail games like Battlefield 4.
And in this comparison retail collector's editions are often equally or more expensive.
Examples? Here:
- Fallout3 Exclusive Survival Edition: 200$
- Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition: 1000$ new, 350$ used
- The Last of us Post-Pandemic Edition: 475$
- Assassins Creed Master Assassin Edition: 400$
- Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition: 180-220$
and the list goes on and on.
And like the examples above no one forces you to spend hundreds of dollars for early access and collector's stuff.
