I don't know what's more surprising, that there are so many ungrateful people or that there are people with multiple accounts. In world of tanks for example having multiple accounts violates the eula.

I keep seeing players mentioning they have multiple accounts. Yup, WOT doesn't allow it.
PGI could learn a thing or two from WOT

I didn't get mad. I just re-purposed my gift mech.

I'm thinking of making it an ersatz Urban mech next, with one point of armor on all facings, and seeing just how much I can carry...

i got both the Atlas and Centurion on 2 accounts, with one of them being a pure clan account... now there are 2 IS chassis poisoning my clan garage...

i´d really like to be able to sell them... i appreciate to have them on my merc account though...

why shouldn´t it be allowed to have multiple accounts? i payed money on both of them, and probably will keep doing so, meaning PGI earns twice from me... good for them, and my choise to do so...

i couldn´t see a reason why MWO should not allow multi accounting...

You use the same math my ex wife uses.........they earn twice from you?

You would only spend half as much with just one account?

You bought two clan packs, two gold Ravens, two concurrent months of premium time?

I dont care what PGI does, I am surprised they allow dual accounts. I'd guess..what, dozens of other games do not allow it, and why is that?
big fat meanies?

Some ppl like the CN9-AH Centurion, some other dont, for i stand in the the dont like crowd, even with the 30% cbill boost, i get more with a regular Centurion. i did try to like it and sunk cbills, GXP and precious time to no ends as its still doesnt fit the play style i have. So i too would sell it

If the Cent-AH had even a single CT energy point, that would have made all the difference.

For me though, I honestly will likely never play it, its so far from my playstyle.

And if I want something medium with an AC-20, I got my Blackjack all ready to go anytime, or my Hunchback, both with energy backups.

I wonder how many people receive a gift, and then call it a piece of crap and ask how to sell it in front of the person who gave it to them .

Seriously though, why does it matter if it is there? If you don't want to use it, strip it of content and ignore it.

I for one now have 2 free Centurions (This AH and the Champion one given away in a challenge a few months back). I might as well get a third Centurion and level up these mechs.

when i was 14 my brother told me my parents got me a typewriter for christmas, i freaked 'a typewriter?wtf its christmas ,who wants a typewriter for christmas?'i ended up getting a bass guitar.

Well if they didn't, they would not have had $240 out of me for a masakari pack.
Pointless buying mechs I can't use in CW.....if they didn't they would have earned much less from me.

I'm also honestly confused as to why anyone would have an issue with it? I wanted to play clans and IS in CW....would have to do some awkward swapping about with one account...currently I run two accounts and am a happy, paying customer.
Now, where's the issue with that? (does it hurt you in any way shape or form?)
All PGI could learn from WOT is to really annoy the players, much like WOT does. Currently I'm liking the way PGI is approaching the game -they seemed to have turned over a new leaf.

Well there are a few reasons for not allowing multiple accounts. One reason I can see is that if someone is ignoring you can just log onto your other account to troll them. Another reason is it allows for spying and infiltrating rival guilds, units, factions, etc. This doesn't do much now, but when community warfare comes out you could be a team that is planning an attack on one planet and then log into your other account and warn everyone.

[Kabum]

Is difficult to understand the critic beyond the innhability to hide the mech. Is free, I like and the painting looks great. But is just my opinion.

Awkward weapon mix.

In fact for the people that want an AC/20 and don´t want to buy the hero mech is a great addition. Even if you have the hero mech it open different options.
Is not Awkward, just a little bit unusual.

True if taken go an extreme example, so what do you propose as solution? Collate the two accounts together? How could I still see both sides of the coin and still be a member of my current unit?
Also how would you handle the titanic ".." Storm that woul
d ensue if people lost invested money? WOT is the only online title I have ever played that disallows multiple accounts.....literally ALL the others have zero issues with it.

I'm hoping if I wait long enough, PGI will give me another one and I can master the chasis for free.

Probably going to whack an LBX10, 2MGs and as many SRM tubes as will fit on mine.

Honestly, I'd say the 'best' way, would be to have your primary username and account, then different 'pilots' within it (maybe a limit of 5 or something?).

Each pilot has his own Hanger, and mechs, unit, etc.
You only get the Cader bonus once, on your primary Pillot and all purchases / rewards are injected to your Primary Pilots garage.

You then have a tab on the home page that lets you transfer mechs, mechbays and c-bills between pilots.
Anything in the mech (armour, gear, modules, ammo, weapons, etc) and its mechbay is sent to the account with the mech.

This would allow you to have a 'Clanner', a specific House, a general Merc, etc.

There's nothing to be done about it now, if pgi allows it then they allow it I was just surprised is all. I've had bad experiences in the past with sleeper agents in past games so I'm just sharing my experience.

Although it sounds like they aren't having season anymore for community warfare they will still allow you to accept contracts and at the end of those contracts you change your faction. It's disingenuous in a role playing experience to be fighting for one side only to log in to an alternate personality and fight yourself the next day.

[STEF_]

How is it possible to complain about a gift, and about a medium loading a ac20...
Anyway I chose just the opposite: when I knew that pgi was going to give me a CN9-Ah I started to grind CN9-A and CN-AL, so I can master 3 of them with this account too.

Still remember the first time I pilot the CN9-A, years ago. Piloting stock, it was a truly BT experience to me, moving slow, giving fire support with lrm, and then the classic 2 medium in ct and ac10. I was quite to see the hexagones in the battelfield.
CN9is a very iconic IS medium.

It should appear like this one, here in mwo too:

Fair enough, I just wanted you to extrapolate your thoughts:)

I guarantee MWO will never be complicated enough for espionage to play any kind of role. PGI is incapable of that level of depth, historically speaking (something like 15 years of absolutely horrible no-brainer games). To them this is a cash shooter, nothing more, and "CW" is their begrudging acceptance of minimal content required to retain customers. Plus, I'm sure they are more than happy to allow multiple accounts so that they can quote those higher stats.

I run another account, but only because PGI stated we can only run Clan tech in the ghetto if we aren't Clan. I wanted to give Clan tech a look, but didn't want to waste precious c-bills here if I won't be able to use it later. Which sucks, because my premium time is counting down on this account, and I'll be damned if I pay for any more. If I decide I like Clan tech and want to get involved with some of my old CHH wings, for example, I then have an option to do so.

I absolutely agree that multiple accounts breaks any role-playing experience, but that's not a PGI priority, and to expect such is a long, disappointing road for this endeavor. Personally, if I were them I'd allow multiple pilots per account, and premium time should be for the account, not the pilot (considering you can only play one at a given time). For CW, only one pilot can participate. If you want to play as something else, the pilot should withdraw from CW. Put something like a 30-day hold on the pilot so he can't be enrolled/withdrawn easily.

But..I think we are derailing the topic.

What pilot has their own leopard-class dropship with 4 mechs and a full combat med team to drag them off the battlefield and slam them back into a cockpit 3 times during each battle?
