Ok so a lot of threads are popping up about the same things, for example:

I'm not buying founders
I am buying founders
Sales Stats
Founders is not good value and so on and so fourth

Most of these questions have been answered and have been debated in other threads within the past few days.

Please use the search button so we can get some fresh discussion about the actual game in the forum and not about founder etc.

Now on to my little rant, i have notice a lot of people whinging about "buying" MWO and i would like to point something out, the Founders packs are not for the purchase of MWO but more akin to a kickstarter donation level system.

You pay $30 you get a small reward, you pay $60 you get some rewards you pay $120 you get all rewards. Its to help the devs put money into the game and give them a bit of cash to chuck into the game until release and they can make some moola off of micro transactions. So please please please stop whinging, if you don't want to buy it that's fine, but at least recognize what the founder pack is, and it is not a purchase of MWO.

My 2c :D .

It appears that the "Reading is Fundamental" crowd doesnt apply to a fare amount here, sad but true.

i agree people should search for these things... i don't know how-many times I've had to answer that there are no more keys comming this week/month or how the 30$ founders pack isn't crap etc. Stop remaking the same dang posts over and over again!

This is why our veteran forum members don't post anymore, they're tired of the insanity of repeating the same task over and over and hoping for people to learn.

heck I'm about to give up here, soon we'll just have people giving BS info and whining non-stop.

I fully understand the hypocrisy the second part of my OP represents however that is not the only part of my post.

If you don't mind I'm going to link this thread to any threads that pop up in this vein. I didn't have a very high post count until I started answering repetitive questions...

Go for it, unfortunately i think this will be the state of the forums for the next week or so due to the hysteria the Founders pack has created.

I've noticed that a lot of the complaints are coming from accounts created the same day as posting, think it's the same people over and over or has there been a huge influx of new people to the forums?

I think its all the Hype created over the Founder, i only created my profile the day before, but the community has really ramped up since the release of the packs.

It is all the trolls (or 1 troll). I've read most of the posts and rants putting down MWO, PG or IGP. I get a good laugh and then on to next topic of the same flavor it seems this week.

ANd yep search is a wonderful tool. Problem is trolls not know how to use tools. :)

Forum searches suck, they never get you what you wanted find. Especially on a super active game forum when you find something slightly relevant to your search and it's six months old.

But I do try if I'm looking for a specific post/thread, other wise I'll just go back a few pages and look or just say F* it and do something else.
