Oh well. It was nice while it lasted. Suppose we'll see how long the forums last when only T2+ gets to actually post on them.

so one down pretty much assures you lose, though it is extra sweet when the sucking people hand the other team their backsides
Exactly.
But most of these members called the 'Community' don't realise how much it will break the game. Such a shame though.. Looks like most of them have no clue.
More concerned that have so much bragg talking about tiers already. It's not even funny anymore. It's not even decided or out yet.

What I think could be useful would be a settings option to decide WHO saw your PSR, such as your friends or unit. That could be a great tool for learning from higher rated players you trust as well as commanders setting teams / lances up in CW and the like...

People are going to do this anway though. In fact, I am certain some do it because of past performances of players that they attach to the names they see. "oh it's that guy. we lost. Tier 5 confirmed!" >disconnect<

I try not to be a **** to people who are clearly new. However, if you are spouting **** and being bossy and commanding and you suck? Yeah, I'm likely to call you on it.
Sometimes its tough to phrase things nicely for newbies though. I had to explain to a teammate that standing on the other side of the river from the citadel and shooting at people on the line behind the citadel with medium lasers wasn't going to work. Didn't want to single him out, but I also didn't want him sitting back there not hitting anything.

People say this, and I agree in part.
Of course I'm not really affected by an anonymous person on the Internet being an a-hole. But that doesn't mean that I like to be in a place filled with e-peen stroking and elitism. It's not that I'm in hurt in any significant degree, but I won't spend my spare time in an unpleasant environment either.
Anyway, I'm not saying that it'll get that bad here -- the jury's still out. Maybe the fact that we're kind of old will help (at late 30s I oftentimes I feel like I'm on the young side here).
I hear World of Tanks is pretty awful, but all I know about WoT is that a TV ad I saw looked like it was targeting pre-teens.

That's one of the best Tier Comments I've seen!
I enjoyed that, my stats are so bad I was given a prescription for Prozac to take before and during viewing.

That's if tiers are going to be displayed IN-GAME. Which we still aren't sure will happen. What we do know is that they will be displayed on the forums, for sure.

Please do so quickly, I want to make sure I am back down to T5, finally out of ELO hell.

How about "people who grief others over their stats must disclose their home address"

I do not see the point of even viewing a teamates PSR. What would that accomplish? Everyone else on the team should be close to the same Tier as you are, that is the whole point of the PSR.
If there are twelve Tier 1 players on a team, most will probably play however they normally play...unless one is able to persude the others to follow orders. The same player is probably not the best pilot and the best tactical strategist rolled into one. Even if they are, why would the team listen to them over the other pilot with a Tier 1 ranking?

I think it's because people think Tiers will be shown in-game. When it's probably never gonna happen, and they will only be shown on the forums.

And by the way, being in a lower tier doesn't necessarily mean someone is a lesser player than someone in a higher tier. Some people are naturally good at it, and some may have started a new account and already have a lot of experience in MWO. Or you may get a person who sucks at piloting most mechs or classes, but excels at using a certain mech or class of mech. So it's best not to get too over confident when dealing with lower tiers.
The same could be said for higher tiers. Someone may be super at using a few mechs and use them most of the time. But totally suck at using other mechs.
The tiers are more of a guideline of what to expect.
