they had a very good crack at us during our match and came close to beating us
i have been a competative gamer since i was about 11 and speaking from experiance people of any age can be a formidable force to go against
only reason its not as apparent is because the majority of competative gamers are young and dont have responsibilitys
gaming accessories are helpfull but not a game breaking advantage against real skill and skill comes from practice so as long as the elderly chaps wives think they are at the pub and not in the basement on the computer practicing im positive we will see some exceptional gameplay
and i know my spelling and grammar are terrible but what can i say... im a games dev

Teamwork is grand. Of course, the opposite can happen, I'm not saying all younger players are cocky or hotshots, I do know alot of sensible, humble younger players, and cocky older players who SHOULD be 'matured' but they just resort to rules lawyering and try to hide behind their knowledge of Battletech fluff and intimidate the younger players.

World of Tanks is a great game for team play in theory, but the reality of random-matches tells a different story - really hope the commander will give this game the edge.

Almost sounds like real combat doesn't it??
Guy by the name of Murphy came up with some rules for combat.
Some of them are:
"Enemy fire has right of way"
"The only thing more accurate than enemy incoming fire, is friendly incoming fire"
"If it is stupid and it works, it's not stupid"
" The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions:
a. When they're ready.
b. When you're not. "
"Professionals are predictable, its the amateurs that are dangerous."
"Odd objects attract fire. You are odd."
"The newest and least experienced soldier will usually win the Medal of Honor."
"A Purple Heart just proves that were you smart enough to think of a plan, stupid enough to try it, and lucky enough to survive."

I've played Battletech since the reveal of the Clans.
I've played the video games since MW2.
I can't even remember all the minis I've bought nor remember every battle I've played because I've done so many.
If a player wins, whatever age, against me I'm comfortable with it.
If I win I'll jump for joy.
Honestly the only one I'll compare myself to is myself. I'm like that with nearly every PvP game I have tried and that's the only thing that keeps me going.

As someone who has broken the 30 barrier, a year ago, it's not bad, just keep doing what you love.
i find that my past experiences in MW3 and MW4, was not really based on razor sharp reflexes, but on situational awareness and co-ordination.
See you on the field.

One point in BT and now MWO is the most important :a good teamwork.
Without it you get (old/young) endless your asskicked.

At any rate, yea I won't be able to pour time into this game like I did after High School in MW4 days, but I now have the ability to take as much time off work as I need to... so... I might be able to saturate myself in gameplay for a bit.

That being said Pretty certain every single one of the LEGENDARY founders is above 25.

in response to the previous quote I'm 22 and am planning on upgrading to legendary after my next paycheck.

Hopefully, part of that time that you don't have is spent earning wealth, and as far as I understand it, if you divest yourself of some of that 'wealth' you should be able to 'catch up' gear wise to some one that has more time than money.
I think most of us are hoping that the 'cash option' will just 'catch us up' gear wise though - If it ends up that cash spenders have advantages over those that just have time to spend - I fear for the future of the game, as historically games that go this route don't do as well as games that don't.
But for now, every thing looks golden, Dev's continually re-assure us that 'Pay to win' isn't how this is gonna be - and that those with Time on their hands, but no cash's will be on even footing with those that spend some cash instead of time.
I sit on the '40' year old gamer team myself, I think we are gonna do just fine.
zWolf -out.

Then we show this Greenbats why they don't deserve an Atlas and should use the Ejector before going into Battle.
