Oddly enough, most of the things that seem to be suggested as things that would disappoint people by being absent are all things that weren't in previous MechWarrior games

Previous games were not an MMO though. Your word on it is like saying this is MechWarrior 5. It is neither. Neither MechWarrior 5 or the RPGMMO some are dreaming about.

What it actually is, is probably great though. I just hope people see all the good sides and accept their ideas are just that, theirs.

ITS ALL IN YOUR HEADS

Two points OP.

1) There will be C-Bill earning. Therefore while there may not be intra-player trading, there will be purchasing of some kind in game to include new mechs, repairs, etc.

2) A couple of posts in the forums and a Legendary doesn't mean a player hasn't been around since before FASA was someone's eye-twinkle. It just means we don't live to post in the forums.

Frankly, since I haven't made it into a Beta yet, I try to pretend this game doesn't exist for as long as possible between email checks for my Beta key. I am up to nearly 4 minutes!

As for expectation of what the game will be like, I've always viewed it as a similar setup to Tribes Ascend.

I hope not. "Hey guys we just introduced this new, overpowered item. You can unlock it for $5 worth of gold or 500 games worth of xp. Your choice."

Hasn't been my experiance, they always tweaking stuff and no single weapons kills me more than others just because someone has it. /shrugs

More to the point, my expectation is that the game will be a menu driven "combat drop" simulator that allows you to customize your load out when not in combat and has the options to buy some items with "real money" or with "in game currency".

What I expect at launch is WoT with mechs. Anything beyond is icing. I also expect not to see gold ammo or a 50 damage long tom with a 1/4 second cycle time that you can buy for cash. My hopes for after launch are much larger but we'll have to wait and see, won't we?
