MWO, is still not a pick up game, there are definitions and we should adhere to such things.


The terms as I understand their current usage are:

Pre-made: dropping grouped with 1 or more other players usually with the support of out of game voice communications
PUG: Pick up group (or possibly Game). In this case, you join the game queue and are assigned to a random group/game.

The only organizational tools available to a PUG player are the in-game communications tools ... i.e. chat.

It is called Pick Up because you have no control over the selection of your team mates ... as might occur in most "Pick Up" games in any situation ... whether sports or board games or video games ... you enter the game not knowing who you will be playing with.

Anyway, that is the terminology that is currently in use and why it is used. It may or may not make sense to you but I would not expect it to change any time soon as a result of your preferences.

Beginners can't learn because the mods jettison these truthful threads about the current state of the game. They get no feedback if it will improve and leave. Everyone needs to see the bad to push for a change. MM is bad. They need to take into account armament when they introduce tonnage limits. A 100 ton not even basic'd atlas, does not equal a mastered one.

Excellent, glad to see you're true to your public appearance(as in easily entertained). I'd have a lot more fun with you, even though you ran away with your tail between your legs after the last post, but I must go now, my people need me. Can't troll a troll anymore even...they just run away.

THIS is what the world is coming to Joe lol

Uhm ok
Never mind the duplicate or blatant trolling of those kinds of posts right?
Bottom line everyone in this game has equal opportunity to use all the tools available paid or free
Stop pointing at pgi and premades as the reason for poor results in games. Start looking at individual skills and things like disco trolls

Bud, if you don't like the term, feel free to not use it. My original point was merely that PUG doesn't mean "Public." Apparently being corrected turns normal people into trolls. Movie plot?
