Don't get discouraged, and keep up the good work.

We all have things we need to b!tch about. I've got some minor and some major things to complain about. From pricing stuff, mech designs, balance stuff, gameplay mechanics, netcode stuff, missing features, map stuff, you name it- there's a poo ton of things that need work. The forums are a mob of mongrels with the same notion. Take the mob with a grain of salt and keep moving forward. Too much vitriol and not enough deserved praise rampant with the kiddies lately.
Problems are inevitable, progress takes time and experimentation. Very few people here have much patience, and will piss up a storm over the most childish and dumb things. Half these players come here and post just to hear themselves talk, feel like their opinions count, and to over inflate their grievances. I'm not saying their grief is invalid, that's not a hall pass, I'm saying that things get blown way out of proportion when it comes to priorities versus solutions.
Some players are very passionate about this game with high (sometimes even impossible) expectations, and react because of slow progress fulfilling those expectations.
Some players are just whiny babies aggravated because they get their a$$es kicked and don't understand why. (Thanks, Obama... Lol)
It must be a real chore trying to weed through all the noise here trying to find ways of appeasing us via good or bad advice. Everybody here seems to think they've got the ultimate fix for everything and that their personal ideas are the only way they'll feel satisfied.
Problem in general is that most humans are shifty [unts with no understanding of the process.

So instead of adding to the list of things to complain about, I'm going to give this one post about knowing how far things have come (because I've logged 10,000+ games since closed beta), recognizing how much work and effort this game entails, and even with all things needing attention; I'm thankful for the effort and the struggle. I know perfecting this crap is harder than the forum trolls (sometimes including myself) will let on. We do appreciate it.

Due diligence and time. Thank you for building MWO, and putting up with all our $h!t.

We often forget how lucky we are to even have this game. I've been here since open beta, and well it has issues but the game defenetly changed. Not all changes were for the best and some have been fixed or tried to be fixed at least. I've seen it go from no communication to getting blogs and town halls telling us about updates. The mechwarrior franchise means a lot to me ( and many others, but for me it gave a kid an outlet for pent up rage and frustration and shelter from a s***y school life. I want to see this game do well I want to see/play more progress. Keep going, do what you know needs to be done. It's a game people will adapt to the changes, just make sure the changes make sense.

Thank you PGI

[Eboli]

Completely agree.

I thank you for the time you invest in trying to make this game better. I know that your intentions are good and being here since day one I have seen great progress in some areas, slow progress in other areas.

But it is progress.

Cheers!

Here here.

IMHO, anyone willing to attempt to make ANY changes that deviate from the beliefs that the Sacred Church of TT hold dear is a very, very brave person.

"EVERYBODY! THEY CHANGED COOLDOWNS!"

[kesmai]

Lot's of problem etc.


Either way: Thank you PGI for this game.
oh and thanks to all of you forumites for the entertainment.

I will thank them once I see the value in the amount of money I have spent on the game...

You've posted over 1 thousand times on the forums and probably spent half as many if not more hours in their game. If it's not worth the money then you're doing something wrong. I value my entertainment at $1 per hour. Which is a lot less than going to a movie. If you've gotten "some" enjoyment out of the game for as many hours as you have in the dollars you've spent? Honestly you're getting a good value.

The amount of single player games we buy at $60 and get maybe 30 hours or less out of is staggering.

There is nothing wrong. We just have an overabundance of feedback this week.

Be gone Debbie Downer! This thread is not for you! (Though I think they already k-towned the majority of the unconstructive whine threads....)

[LordBraxton]

Bring back the old superior graphics and Ill put up with the myriad of other flaws. I'm not a 'more more more!' kind of guy. It's when I already have something, and it gets taken away, that I get really grumpy. So, graphics, IK, knockdowns\collision, and long TTK... theyre all gone... want em all back...
