Hello hello,

Well I very rarely post anything here. And some people might know me, most certainly not.

I been playin mech games a bit now, and for me and the group of guys I play with, having fun was and should be still held as the most important thing. In any game. No?
And I personally been part of this game from the beginning of the founders thing, Which I am still glad I did I might add.
Honestly, when I first got in the closed beta I got sick, real bad. Liver problems outta nowhere, and I DONT EVEN DRINK, HA! Stuck at home for 8 months. I was able to get to the machine and play though somehow, LOL. it wasnt easy but I played. I played because I was havin fun with some friends and this game helped me through, in some ways.

So, THX for that.

I dont wanna jump on this LRM bandwagon thing. I mean, I know it sux and having fun in this game right now is tough.
As a matter of fact and just for the hell of it, Ide like to meet the genious that thought up the LRM buff, HeH, shake his hand and stuff. Even my daughter would know, "um lets see, what if we have 6 boats instead of the usual 1 or 2"?
I myself thought the game was actually pretty well balanced previous to the last patch, but who am i ? right?

Anyway,
What I dont understand is why is it so hard to listen to a community that has been there for a long time. A communtiy that obviously loves this type of game.
Aside from a screwed up LRM patch, not to mention, why pick on the Victor? everyone enjoyed it the way it was pretty much.
I dont remember anyone asking for things like turrets, nice dirty glass, 3rd person view, gold million dollar mechs, and there is more.
I kind of associate all these unwanted (by most) things to another game, Planetside 1. Theys added unwanted stuff like huge mechs, turrets, invisible turrets, and alot of other stuff I cant remember. And guess what? Alot of people stopped playing for those exact reasons.

And then there is the other thing on my mind.
Why is it so hard to get some basic things that the community keeps asking for? Things we had 20 years ago. back in AOL MPBT Solaris and GS MPBT Solaris.
Personal competition - 1 vs 1 (with stats on that as well) (and a seperate arena for 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 battles)
Meeting areas with clear communication to arrange battles and tournaments.
We had property to defend or attack, made fighting worth it.

Then there was MPBT 3025, again, EA. Another genious company.
Man did we get screwed on that one, but thats a story for somewhere else.
Lets just say we got lied to.
BUT!! it was a hell of a game.
We had planetory capture. That made the whole game. Gave everyone a purpose in the game. Made ya feel like ya hed something to look forward to when ya came home from work. Know what I'm sayin?
PGI guys, trust the old bald guy, if you can harness planet capture such as 3025 had or better you'll kepp em commin back forever.

Well, look, I hate long drawn out posts myself. And I guess I'm just blabbin now.
All I know is the game dosent seem so much fun right now. Most of my friends arent playing because of either this last patch or they feel there is just nothing to fight for.
What? another mech? Most of us got over 40 mechs now. Big deal.
And we all know what happens sooner or later when population drops off, people lose interest and no $ is spent, right?

This is a good game, it still is in my opinion.
I dont know how else to say it and I dont mean any disrespect to anyone.
But someone needs to smarten up.
If you give your clients what they want, they will keep comming back and spend money.
Why does anyone even have to say that? LOL.

Thank You,
Take care, brush ya hair.
