its okay vas I know I proved my point now you're going to change it. But you were wrong I'm right. They didn't promise and you can't prove they did because they didn't. you're going to be upset no matter what logic facts or reason happens to be brought to your attention. this is what I like to call a victim complex. I honestly feel bad for you that you take these things the way you do. I just cannot imagine living life that way.

A ridiculously deflated comeback for a ridiculous thread.

The battle, if you can call it that, was won during transverse. I don't like to think of it as a 'battle,' but karma. MWO is limping along, despite Russ saying in a townhall at the time that this game was no longer their financial future. They had to branch out to keep the company viable.

Just, you know, think about that for a second. I have no stake in this anymore. In fact, I take long posting vacations, because there's not a lot to talk about anymore, but sometimes, I like to come back to remind people of what really happened back then.

It's always a laugh when that happens, isn't it?

Fact is, PGI said and did all of these things. You can deny history, but no one's gonna believe you when it's there for all and everyone to see with their own two eyes.

I'll give you an example. I own a business. Sometimes I tell my customers I can do something, but then circumstances change and I can't meet that original goal. it is unfortunate but it happens. all you can do with that. Is try to make it up to your customers. some of them won't be happy no matter what because they don't understand but sometimes things just don't work out. and that's their prerogative. and I'm okay with that. because to be perfectly honest I don't want any customers who can't be bothered to understand that s*** happens

I run a business too. If I tell someone somethign will be ready next monday and it is in fact not ready until Tuesday I may likely lose that customer forever, or at least in the short term.

I cannot imagine what my reputation would be like if I missed a deadline by 1.5-2 years.

So I see some of you arguing, but to what and where does one gain anything, and at what extreme...?

That's all I'm asking.

Ah, I see. Hey, man, remember transverse? Remember the intial outright P2W consumables? Remember third person gate? Do you remember being on an island? Remember 6 months of paywalled P2W clan robots, that were only nerfed when they released for c-bills? Remember the outlandish goldmechs, that got even Forbes to comment on the spectacle? Remember when they deleted GD because there were negative posts? Remember the launch party? Remember 60 to 90 days? Remember 2 weeks? Remember NGNG being paid shills? I could go on.

Nobody cares anymore.

Then why do you guys get so defensive when history's brought up?

Lockheed Martin? Boeing? Microsoft?

I know some of you may find it a right to argue, but really, all we see is a win over one person, but then we may see the same argument, over and over again, be presented, be it politely, rude, aggressively or passively, I've seen it a lot, makes me wonder, is it for you or our well being?

oh yes you cannot refute my arguments so you must attempt to mock and ridicule. no need to listen to you further good day

[Xetelian]

Mechwarrior will continue so long as people are willing to pay for mechs instead of grinding the Cbills for them.

Really? Is that how you see it?

I see it more like you made some awfully poor statements that history refutes, so I posted history for you.

Let the people reading judge things based on that history. This is what I meant when I said have no stake in this anymore.

I'm merely an MWO recordkeeper.

Because it's just that. History.

[Stoned Prophet]

back to the original topic: some people are so invested in being wronged that they can bare that someone doesn't agree with them let alone be able to prove them wrong. You see how people react to THAT lol

so if something happened that was out of your control like I don't know one of your suppliers miss the shipment or there was a power outage something like that? and this something is fairly vague. is it a cheeseburger? or reconditioning a rusted out old mercury? because there are two very different things we're talking about here.if your customer can't handle the fact that you didn't get the part when you expected it (ehich is basically what happens when the code doesnt work out they way you thought it would) then that customer is an ass and I wouldn't want to do business with them.

As to the OP, sorry, it's just how they talk, I'd rather keep the boat alive and have food, then have a boat with no food.

I Tried getting upset, it's just how it is, so I gave up, and headed back to home (public queing, the actually game/client I get into)

[Xeno Phalcon]

MWO is like my mother in law: Really damn old and still wont die.

Fortunately people are not bound by law to play MWO so if they don't want to there is nothing stopping them from going elsewhere.

(Unfortunately I AM bound by law to my mother-in-law....)

Uh... i said i was done... but thanks for reinforcing that?

[Richard Hazen]

I just started playing this and it's easily equal if not better than World of Tanks.

[Asrrin]

Wow Vassago, I am at a loss for words just how effing bitter you are. I understand that the game had a rough start, things got delayed and changed and things didn't turn out exactly like you and others wanted them. But that was almost 4 years ago. Move on pal. PGI dropped IGP like a bad habit and have been working nonstop for almost a year now trying to mend the mistakes of the past. It's never going to live up to this perfect ideal that you've placed on a pedestal, but it's a damn fun game and I'd rather be playing it then to have nothing at all.

[Stoned Prophet]

long story short MWO isn't going to die anytime soon. anyone who thinks so doesn't understand reality. and I'm happy because I love the crap out of this game. It has flaws to be sure but it's still my number one game. all told $1000 into this game and I don't regret a single penny of it
