Stats like K/D are the reason. Stats should just disappear.

Stats are great, if not essential for games to thrive. Rewards for stats are a major part of the problem, and extremely irresponsible in casual environments but there should be motivation for conflict and stats help generate that. If they rewarded players for time spent alive, teams would avoid each other. If they turned rearm and reload back on, teams would avoid each other. If they only rewarded for wins at the end of a match, players would "try" even "harder" to win at any cost. Even C-bills are a stat for players as a measurement of performance.

Ultimately for a game like MWO, they should have gone the route of EVE and made players earn pilot certifications to purchase mechs for hours spent actively participating, with C-bills only used to purchase modules and components. Instead we've got players with buckets of bills willing to do anything they can to earn more, even at the cost of driving other players away. If everyone knew that no matter how many bills they had, they would still have to put in the time earning certs, I bet the community would get along a tad better and play for fun rather than winning at any cost.

I would like to see the map you are referring to, but not for the sole purpose of getting rid of something that I am not capable of dealing with in the game. Many of these posts are just jabs at a portion of the community that has a different play style. You cannot compete with the play style so nerf it?

I hate the fact that every time I shoot at a Shadowhawk, they are jump jetting EVERYWHERE, but I do not come on the forums and say "Remove Jump Jets from Shadowhawks."

Why do people think wanting to change the stale stand off game play has anything to do with not being able to compete? The problem with the current play is it is too much of the same thing over and over. If all matches were brawlfests I would say to add some anti brawling maps. It's all about keeping things fresh for the sake of entertainment.
