I'm the only one that brought up Dorito dust, and I think i explained why I felt that way about TT guys.
When every time i see a good feature suggested for this game, it gets shouted down by the vocal minority, and that actually holds water, that bothers me, so yes, I have a negative take on TT players, both because I don't enjoy their hobbies myself, and don't get why they try to change a PC game into just another version of their TT game.
I should not have gotten as stereotypical as I did, but being a guy who falls between the "CoD" crowd, and the "TT" crowd, as far as desires for this game, I wanted to distance myself from both.
Really I just wish PGi would stop listening to the TT guys like they're gods just because a few baby-boomers have spent some large amounts of cash...give them a product, if they like it, they buy it, don't keep tailoring the product to make those same few people happy, improve the product to gain more happy, paying customers... usually the suggestions I see by TT guys are the ones that will keep this game from ever growing, and thus ultimately kill it.
In this one, rare case, i agree with them, as I think the quirks are a positive step forward. Just don't want to start a precedent of agreeing with them...lol.
Firstly, most of the guys PGI listens to? Are Comp Gamers, most of whom don't give a fig about TT.
Secondly? The whole thing was supposedly started by a bunch of TT fanatics. Who made the pledge to deliver the closest to TT Mechwarrior title ever.
So you came to the wrong game if that is your goal.

I for one, would hate to see what could be a great product brought to ruin to appease a few people that think that eSports are the be all end all for this game, it's why I run as far from the 'meta' as I can, and try to run stock or TRO loads in my mechs.
I'm also as far as you could get from a 'Dorito dust' TT gamer as you can get, and still be a TT gamer. But that doesn't mean I can't see what this game could be, if it ran a little closer to the spirit and lore of the franchise it draws from.
Ugh. Had a guy in my gaming group who was the Doritos Dust guy.
I spend 1000s of dollars and hundreds of hours painting my regiment and he touches them with his nasty dorito fingers?
Oh. It was on. One of only 3-4 times there was a literal buttwhupping at one of our RPG nights.
