It wastes time for 23 people. Nice attempt to make an insult to justify trolling.

That you don't understand the concept or why it's a completely chickenshit thing to do pretty much answers why this thread exists.

Just to get this straight...you disagree with a style of play...so it should not be allowed. Well....thats like saying the other team cannot have 12 ECM 'Mechs...because i do not like it...or no nore than 10 missile racks a lance....or you cannot boat a weapon over three.

Why should I have to justify my play style to you. If you don't want to watch me waste my time, then fricking leave the match and go to another. Stop being a troll on my play style just because you don't like it.

ROFL. What, pray tell, weapon allows you to snipe at 2000+ meters from across Alpine? I didn't realize that they'd put ArrowIV's in, allowing you to hit mechs in E6 from the map border at C2.

Your so funny....i still had legs.

So if my playstyle is to leg teammates and use them as shields or pin them in the line of fire, how legit is that?

It's not. Telling you that you can't yell fire in a crowded theater isn't stifling your free speech either, to keep with your prior form of hyperbole.

Notice how I didn't say waste 24 peoples time by the way. I said 23.

Happens very rarely, which is why I don't see it as an issue worth this much of a thread. I do report it though and I'm sure that if it comes up a lot with the same person support will deal with it.

There are a lot of things I can do to hamstring my team - refuse to cap out a win, etc. That's me being a bad. Someone who runs and hides to protect their KDR is just an indication of why KDR is worthless as a measure of skill; it's often more of a measure of cowardice or just bad gameplay couched as 'playstyle' or 'tactics'.

Bads are bads, you run into them a lot in a lot of ways. If it's something like powering down and disco though... yeah, I generally take the time to report it. Hence the 'if someone does it a lot' bit. How would they know if it's nto reported?

It brings my blood to boil too, and awakens parts of inner rage I wasn't aware I'm capable steaming out. I have seriously lost all patience with the run and shutdown derps. It's not even funny.


How do you report someone btw? And is this proven to help anything about it at all? Also I don't realistically expect that they willl ever have time to give 5 f**** about this problem, but at least we can hope that some form of gm's can do something about it if it's reported.

You could just make all the people that you hate wear gold stars...

So because the enemy capped our base, the whole team just...died? How does that make KDR anything other than a partial W/L?

Really, there is no simple way to fix this problem without hurting shutdowns in general. I say leave it as it is, and when it happens, tough.

Wait.....when's the last time a team's been capped in MWO?

That's a low and uncalled for blow. {Godwin's Law} would be proud.

Yeah, cuz that's totally the same. It's just everyone hating on you for being THAT GUY and, well, it's exactly the same as the context of Godwins Law.

Demona, you are exactly the type of troll I was talking about.  So you think its fine for 23 other people to sit there for 11 minutes?  Please, go away!

I believe you are the troll. If you don't want to wait, then play assault mode. Or do you fear the defense towers?

support@mwomercs.com

You can through the website too by submitting a ticket, but it doesn't seem to be working right for me lately. It wants me to pick an issue from a drop-down, but lists none at all. Without picking an issue it won't submit.

The email always works though.

Pug matches, for starters.

[RockmachinE]

Simple solution, if the ratio of enemies to friendlies left is to great, say 5 or 4 v 1, once you shut down a timer engages, 30 seconds to turn on your mech or fight or you lose the match.
