Contests and tournaments are used by developers to collect balance-related data. So. The higher you will be in ladder in tournament - the lower you will be nerfed after it.

Are you insinuating that if there is an unfair advantage of a mech or weapon, that it should hidden, or denied, in order to exploit it against players for a longer period of time?

I think what he's saying is that a huge factor, such as individual player skill (or lack of it) or other factors outside of this games control, should not be ignored when making balancing decisions.

Since using actualy gameplay data would not benefit actual balance understanding OP?

Really, that is your point, to be selfish and not show real gaming performance, but instead be deceiving in order to create an favourable imbalance? And you think this comment helpful to MWO's interests?
