I am about to quit and demand money back.

The TKs and FF are out of control. I do not mean FF during the heat of battle, I mean in the drop zones and first minute of battle.

There is no excuse for the amount of people trying shoot teammates lately.

I had to report 2 in less than an hour. I actually had to take one out in a Orion while I was in my Huggins. There is absolutely no reason to take FF in the first 30 seconds. There is no reason to be firing your weapons in the drop zone.

PGI you need to do something about this. The last thing you need is for a rash of TK and FF issues. Players will quit faster than you can imagine.

You know very well there are several well known and organized teams that do nothing but join online games and grief and TK players out of enjoyment.

It gets worse every week in MWO.

some those shots are probably from window users tabbing back in

I have a kill on sight policy for people with the word 'poop' in their name.

Sorry, but if there is one thing that annoys me it is stupid people with stupid names.

You beak my immersion - I break your mech. Immersion is fixed.

yup been fired on been killed by FF, also once or twice accidently FF a allie never killed though , sometimes when ur allies taking heavy dmg trying to fight a squirrel , you try and help em and they jump infront of you as you fire. Never return fire let them kill me if they must..... Means they have less chance of winning anyhow not that they care. actually had one that wasn't very good chasing me around the map once , killed 2 enemy mechs before he killed me ...

Many FF incidents in the first 30 seconds are accidental, or the pilots are checking their weapon groupings and heat generation. I think that it should be fairly simple for PGI to make weapons do no damage in the first couple of seconds. Since the spawn points don't usually allow any contact for the first few seconds anyway (except Forest colony top of the hill potshots), PGI has no reason not to do it. It would go a long way towards reducing the spawn FF.

I haven't seen intentional friendly fire in a very, very long time. My question to the OP is why he thinks he should get money back from PGI for other players being tools?

keep calm

there have been some d-bags playing mwo lately. i was victim to 3 tks in 3 matches in a row. im not sure if they are new or not but they are pretty nasty in chat.

do your best to ignore them for the time being.

As long as I've played MWO, there always seems to be like one day in a couple month when some ******* using an alt account will go around trolling, TK'ing (or attempting to do so) on start. Not only that it's rare enough to be ignored, no form of punishment will deter the brave anonymous user who created the account with that sole purpose in mind.

If it is indeed becoming more problematic, probably wouldn't hurt to include an in-game option to "report" or "block" a user, which would then factor into MM algorithm (say if a significant numbers of such reports came in in a short frame of time, said user would have his account blocked). Or just tough it out till the ******* gets tired of his own crap and moves on to his next semi-sociopathic venture.

Discussing this on a public forum will achieve nothing then to advertise this bad behavior further.

If you want to do something against it, please report the players in question to support@mwomercs.com. In your report include the following information, if you have them available:
- Name of offending player
- Map played
- Date, time and timezone
- Type of offense
- Other players involved (witnesses)
- Screenshots
- Links to videos or other material that might prove usefull to the GMs

Please remember that the Gamemasters are the only ones with the authority to punish a player for his bad ingame behavior. Any type of self-justice (for example: crippling or killing a teammate for teamdamage), can result in your own account being the one sanctioned, for breaking one or more rules.
