Well if all it takes for you to quit is Kiiyor to make a few screenshots how have you stayed through the Holy Trinity?
Because i'm tired of it, also played less during the original trinity hype. MWO can be a really fun game, but the broken balance is just annoying in a game that can be complex and punishing. Don't get me wrong, i've got crows mastered and timber/dire in my bays, but the way you can sometimes die regardless of skill, just by meeting the wrong mech on the battlefield, is really annoying to me. Or how some mechs are just obsolete, crows are basically supperior to 90% of all other meds in the game.

Please explain to me how this is P2w? You can get it for FREE! Just not in 5 days.
Well that's how it works, isn't it? Wouldn't be a 'viable' model if you can't get people to stay forever with their strong mechs, most people wouldn't buy other mechs otherwise. PGI has a history of nerfing mechs after making them CBill, the original clan invasion pre-quirk/old clanlaser/full trinity was a disgusting joke. The worst case of P2W, basically serving all other players as weak 'content' for those who buyed the current supermechs.
Recently there were smaller things, like the improved omnipods for timber, dire and crow (which are now free), or the first IS ECM heavy, the cataphract with it's unexplained 96 additional hp (not that they couldn't deserve a buff, but PGI seems to think they are god tier).
Worst of all, PGI has absolutely no clue how to deal with this stuff. They do not dare to nerf mechs too hard to not drive away players. Just look at the timber, so long after release it got a not exactly insubstantial nerf to it's lasertime, and it still remains the strongest mech in the game by a margin (mind imo the margin is the issue, not having a strongest mech). As for fixing the crow, that's something we can dream of, probably won't even fix the technical side.
As cool as the cauldron borne might be, it might well make the game less fun for everything else. Even grasshopper ran around in droves after release, and they weren't exactly devastating.
