Thanks, I will. It just sucks to see this happen immediately as soon as CW comes out. It's like they think they are the only people this game is made for....like they are the only people who like mechwarrior/battle tech. I'm not going to sit by and watch them ruin this game. Ok soapbox off. Carry on.

Reporting people for speaking truth on the forum won't magically make you win more in the game.

agreed, that's why it's best to just ignore them and don't take their bait.

The next proto-typical troll response will be something along the lines of quoting your post and talking about how you're wrong in the hopes that you'll dive into some senseless personal argument with him regarding the "validity" of his statements.

It'd be awesome if either of you had some kind of come-back to my OP.

It's not hard. It's what trolls do.

They make posts and threads that don't offer any kind of feedback, they just make inflammatory statements and hope they can get people riled up. He's more of an instigator though. He likes to get people "on his side" then step back and watch otehrs argue, jumping in periodically just to keep stirring the pot.

Just ignoring it usually works best. Then if it gets sent to K Town help reform it

[Kell Morgan]

HAHAHA Vassago every time I've seen you in game, I've seen you loose miserably and yell at your team like it was there fault you where terrible.

LMAO I love how you think you're a top tier anything. ( Not saying I am either.)

Also anyone with almost 13k posts on a forums page should really re-evaluate there life....

Stop trying to discourage people from playing the game. It's people like you that hurt games when nothing but vile crap comes out of your mouth.

easy there tiger, forum post count doesn't equate to much. Some of us are lucky enough to have enough first world problems where getting bored at work means perusing the forums a lot and over 3 years that adds up lol

[Redshift2k5]

I find the graphic much more amusing now than the first time it was posted. Like a fine cheese it has ripened with age.

[Kell Morgan]

Ok Sand, I've seen some of your posts but at least you say something useful for the most part when you type.

Just ignore the inflammatory stuff and keep to the constructive threads. That's the easiest way to stop threads like this from allowing to spread their toxicity.

Nope, sorry, still going to keep trying and playing.

Have had moderate success so far with my Shadowhawks and KGC.

Your post is a blanket statement that would require you to have unlimited knowledge about the playing habits and statistics of every player. You do not possess that knowledge and so your assertion is suspect.

Yes it is true that reporting people won't win games just as not reporting people won't make us win more games. We would have to be in game for that. Winning games is not the purpose of the report button. On the flip side you trash talking on the forums isn't winning any more games either. You would have to be in game for that. If you are so skilled and better than the rest of us then prove it in the field and let your results speak for itself.

So my factual picture from 2012, made as a response to PGI saying they'd have elo, and CW would eventually be super hardcore, is worthy of reporting because...reasons?

You sound pretty butthurt. This entire day has been a reminder of when we got 8 manz to me. Most of the super salty people in this thread won't even be in CW come january, for all the reasons I listed.

Let me also add that it feels really good that something I made in 2012 not only holds true in the very final days of 2014, but will hold true until the game dies, and that terms I invented in that same picture are part of general MWO lingo.

1. Everyone raise your hand who thought this day would never come.

2. Keep them up if you knew it was going to shake out competitively EXACTLY the way it has (Those screaming for solo queue and a metric fuckton of matchmaking suddenly finding out what mech warfare was SUPPOSED to be like)

Yup, look at all the Founders with their hands up.

[Star Witch Esperanza]

It's nice to see people playing to win getting matched mercilessly against people who arent again. I'm loving it.

Exactly how is your picture factual? The fact that you posted it in 2012 may be factual. I haven't sourced it but I'm taking your word for it. The contents of the picture are not. They are conjecture. Might even be educated guesses but it is not factual.

What else in your post was factual?

"Yes, you need a team to do anything in CW."
Untrue. Solo players can and are succeeding in a CW enviroment. Especially when playing defence where communicaiton isn't as problematic.

"Yes, you need to bring good builds."
Uh, ok. Yes you need good builds. Good builds as defined by whom?

"Yes, most of what you've been telling yourself for years were simply lies."
You are assuming unlimited knowledge again. You do not know what I or anyone else has been talling themselves for years and have no idea weather or what was being said were lies.

"No, you're not a special snowflake."
Literally speaking you are correct. As the phrase special snowflake is normally used you are incorrect. Everyone is special in their way. I'm not sure what that has to do with MWO.

"No, you can't bring 4 lights and win."
TehB33f disagrees

"No, you can't play 'counter-meta,' or 'against the grain,' or bring 'escort lights.'"
Yeah they can. Fact: They can do whatever they want. Weather they are successful or not is up to them. Whatever they find fun to play. It's not a matter of wanting to win or lose. Everyone wants to win. People jsut want to try and win their way. Nothing wrong with that as long as you have fun trying.

"All these can be voided"
Fact

"but if you do you're gonna have a miserable time"
Untrue. since most of your so called facts are assumptions and blatant untruths.

"and after losing your faction so many planets and games"
People seem to be winning just fine ignoreing your rules.

"people will hate you quite a lot."
You might hate them. You do not speak for everyone and that statement is borderline bullying.
