Kinda funny that bad arcade kitty is talking about ToS violations for reporting a teammates position but has a whole thread advocating a ToS violation by not participating in a game mode if you think the other team is a premade.

Umm no.

Like i said in my post the only time i see reporting going on is when the last guy is a d ick. Or afk. From what your saying you seem to be reported a lot. Guess what, your the first.

Play more

Probably 98% use won’t say anything to this low life, I can probably count on one hand the number of times a Mech took down 4 at the end of a match.

Does not happen often but it does happen.

You must be one hell of a **** to warrant people reporting your location. I've never seen this happen except to people who deserves it.

I do not agree with your suggestion for a second reason. It is needed to tell the enemy where your team AFKs are so that you can get the round over already.

No

i don't have it anymore it was deleted

also it's a different thing, i sometimes may be mean to my team (up to scratching them with lasers) but i am a team player, i never or almost never do anything seriously harmful to my teammates, that thread was about denying enemies, giving up the position of a teammate regardless what they do is a completely different thing from denying enemies of their earnings and fun... and i'm against it not because it's against tos but because it's a wrong thing to do

As a light pilot you can string them out and at least get a kill... team mutiny is very low brow and when i see it i generally report it

Thats my whole point, the problem is no one pilots lights any more cause it takes more skill. So they have no idea what a light pilot has to do or set up to try to get a few more kills.

a lot of old dudes without the twitch skillz to accurately pilot a light...

2 lights working together can take out a lance of fatties easy peasy.

Its against the TOS to report a player's location -- report them, take a screen shot and send it to support@mwomercs.com.

Only dickheads do this because they are too impatient to wait for another player to try to maneuver and maybe get themselves another kill.

(In my case I had one match were I got 8 after everyone else was dead and QQIng about me wasting their time)... and yes, I believe I may still have the SS

no...not only dickheads do this.

I've seen games where the entire friendly team save for one single light mech, had died horribly, with the enemy team retaining 10+ members... only for that single, light mech, to run around like an idiot for the 10+ minutes remaining.

I'm sorry, at that point, you're just wasting everyone's time instead of giving the enemy the kill with dignity.

The other issue? Last Players Standing committing suicide instead of giving the enemy the kill, because it's apparently fun to rob the enemy of additional c-bills, since that's literally the only resource that matters in this game.

[bad arcade kitty]

>no...not only dickheads do this.

only 'dickheads' disclose the position of their teammates
if you don't like to wait quit the match
it's their right to play w/e they like
reporting the position of your teammate is way worse than hiding, especially since they usually hide to be able to score some kills/caps later, but it's way worse than ordinary hiding as well

it also violates the rules and should be reported to the support

>The other issue? Last Players Standing committing suicide instead of giving the enemy the kill, because it's apparently fun to rob the enemy of additional c-bills, since that's literally the only resource that matters in this game.

i didn't know we play 'feed your enemy c-bills' here

I agree allow the dead to talk with the dead until end of match. to try to curb the impatient dead reporting the livings position. DC's should die if last mech standing rather than having to hunt for them. nobody is holding anyone to ransom by playing out their match, there is a quit match tab if you don't wanna hang around to the end ( just hit Esc and you'll find it ) and frankly why would you wanna hang till the end if you believe your last team mate is not gunna get a kill to bump up your assists ? just prep. another mech and keep on truckin'.

1st point: Leave the match if you don't want to wait.

I do, quite often. but sometimes, I'm grinding a specific mech, because I'm attempting to master a chassis. We get outplayed, hey that's fine, getting wrecked happens. it's part of the game.

But then I view the last guy of our 12 man team, and it's a single light mech, with no damage, running the outskirts of the map like it's a nascar track and he's jeff gordon, he's running ECM and has somehow thought that his genius 2mg 1mlas was a good idea.

Yeah, I'm going to be a little salty after a ball crushing defeat, and then seeing some fool running around without having contributed.

As for point 2, about "Feeding the enemy C-bills." What does suiciding accomplish? Seriously? what does it do for you? NOTHING... it's still a death, it still impacts your precious KDR. So Suiciding your mech does nothing at all but rob another player of the only resource in the game that matters.

Be a man, admit your defeat, and give the enemy the kill, run up to them and shutdown if you're so eager to die, you want to talk about the {Richard Cameron}... in my opinion, the dickheads are the guy's suiciding, not the guy's reporting the location of a single AFK or undamaged mech that contributed nothing to the fight.

i really hope i will never meet you on my team
i dont want to play with traitors

especially those who think it's a game of give-away and not an arena

[RavenKnight86]

I really can't take bad kitty seriously after reading half the stuff he posts. He says reporting the last guy doing nothing is ruining the game but has no qualm of ruining games for the other team by suiciding in CW.

I've seen some of his other posts... dude's a worse bipolar on issues than I am... and I know for a fact I'm pretty bad.

do you understand the difference between affecting negatively your teammates and denying enemies?

then, yet again, reporting the position of your teammate for absolutely any reason violates the rules, can be reported and you can be banned for it

they have the right to hide, you don't have the right to report their position

[Clownwarlord]

I have had this issue before ... I get away from the enemy and power down in a dead mech hoping to see an enemy who was chasing me that had open ct and rear walk by only to have my team give away my position as I wait.

That's ok, if I end up banned for my ingame behavior, then that was on me.

It's not something I do often, but it IS something I will do if I feel it's warranted. Seriously it's not hard to actually, you know, fight the enemy. If you're running off and hiding, or derping around on the edges of the map not contributing. That too, constitutes ToS violation. You're supposed to play the game. I do believe it's in the ToS that you're supposed to play the game mode, to achieve the goal of the mode in question.

So how is "Running away" playing the objective of "Kill all enemy mechs, or capture the base/points."

I'm not saying that a lone light that's running around capping resource points in Conquest is a bad thing, nor am I saying that single light assaulting the base in Assault is a bad thing. Hell I've seen games go in our favor due to this kind of behavior, and I've even contributed in such a way while playing lights.

But in Skirmish... the objective is to kill the enemy, not to kill yourself, or hide.

How about telling them about your plan.

This way they know about your intention.

I did. But they gave it out anyways.

[RavenKnight86]

Also not participating in a game mode, such as your suicide all your Mechs when you get a CW match against a 12 man is also a violation of the ToS. Just pointing out your hypocrisy of which parts of the ToS you use and those you ignore.
