Ban any drop deck that has a mech that has not completed the Basic Skill tree. This will eliminate all of the trial mechs that invariably show up in any pug drop. The Public Drop queue should be where pilots complete their Basic Skill tree, not CW.
and/or, make consumables mandatory in CW. They don't have to use them, but this too will eliminate trial mechs in CW.
As much as I am down for a entrance requirement into CW, this idea is just not the way to go as it will disgrunt and discourage new players to even bother to keep playing the game that already has a high learning curve for them. After all mechs are not cheap exspeailly the CLAN ones at this time.
If anything to be done as a entrance requirement I do propose the following.
1. New players must complete their cadet training.
2. After cadet training is finished new players must further play another 75 games in solo or group and the games played go to a combined total.
3. New players must also go through a CW training program that explains how things work in CW just like the new Acadmey does for understanding a mech.
Once that is all done THEN new players would be allowed to start partaking in CW.
As for the topic of trail mechs, I will say the CLAN ones still need a full repass but Id say make a set of 4 for hot maps and a set of 4 built for cold maps, and tweak the current IS trails to match that fashion.
