The moral superiority of IS drivers will be enhanced and the easy mode gimps can contribute something positive to everyones MWO experience through increased funding for PGI. And for comp play you, if you wanna be at the top level ya gots to pay.. as is the way of the world.

How is this not a perfect win:win scenario for everyone?

Edit: My bad, I forgot how the inbreeds are easily confused - yes I mean clan mechs.

This is literally the worst idea I've ever seen.

Why in gods name would we make this game pay to win? So whoever pays more money wins more? No **** that. **** that with a flame thrower attached to an orbital nuke with a built in tag laser and the target narc'd.

Though I do not have much more success in the Meta Mechs... I agree wholly with your logic.

Sorry OP, I get your frustration, I fight it every day on these forums, but making the game P2W isn't the way.

[TercieI]

Somebody have the "that's bait" gif handy please?

[xXBagheeraXx]

Define "easy mode"

Cause easy mode is a thunderbolt loaded with large pulse lasers.

Or pretty much anything IS that is -Duration quriked and can mount large pulse lasers....Im more afraid of those than I am of Gauss whales.

A wubbshee can look at you and red your armor in a split second....

(I'm assuming by this post you where raging at clan mechs as is the usual MO of players in this game)

[Throat Punch]

What exactly constitutes an Easy Mode 'mech? Clan 'mechs?

[Night Thastus]

No thanks? Some of us don't have the time nor the money to grind for whatever the current "Meta" is. I'd prefer solid balance, regardless of cost.

Pay2Win is never a good idea in a game like this. Go home troll.

I own most of the "Meta" mechs as well. To be honest the only ones I have consistent success with are Timberwolfs and Thunderbolts. Stormcrows I do better in my Nova's. I'm terrible at Assaults.

But I'm more the personality of levelling and mastering each mech. I play that mech until I hit my first win of the day bonus and then switch to the next.

I own none of the Meta mechs or use the meta of the month load outs. I run a Brawler Atlas-S and love it.

[MechaBattler]

Just wait for them to finish their balance passes and turn the meta on it's ear. Then all the previous meta heroes will come out in droves, furious that their hard earned meta mechs are no longer meta. I'm not saying that it will fix anything. But at the very least it will shift the meta in another direction.

[0bsidion]

In my mind, easy mode mechs are mechs that fill every available hardpoint with the same weapon so all you have to do is run around mashing one button. That's a lot of mechs to put behind a paywall.

Sorry to derail but out of curiosity what do you run in yours? I think I've got AC20, 4 ML and then the rest in SRM's. I like it a lot, but more so when I'm in group queue and not victim of being stuck playing a poke game at range lol.

To be fair, some of it will be valid, especially hero mechs. I'm less than please that my Grid Iron for example that I paid real money for will now essentially be a slightly different 4G. But alas, that is another discussion all together.

This has to be the silliest thing i heard all day...I hope you are not being serious. Please do some research on what Pay to Win means.

I cant even...

What would this help anyway? IF you are good you have to pay MORE money then bads? How does that even makes sense?

If you wanna say CLAMS IS OP YO! then just come out and say it, quit beating around the bush and man up. This passive aggressive BS is just that and you can leave it at the door.

You can blame all the people in the quirks feedback threads for making them think that we all hate the quirks. Paul especially seems to be under the impression that the weapon quirks were the wrong idea. I really hope the feedback from their first pass changed their minds about that.
