Why is it the AFKs are always in the biggest assault mechs? If you are going to go AFK why not do it in a Locust or something? Going AFK to farm credits without work is evil, but going AFK in an Assault just to grief your team would be evil.

Not AFK as such; you get that the schmuck just waits until the end of the match to go and pick off the old and the weak to pad his own score. If this was already understood, I'm sorry, but I wanted to make sure you got it...

What happens on youtube stays on youtube. I do not think PGI would have a problem with you posting a link as long as you can't see his name here.

Then we would have some idea of what you are talking about because you sound like a drama queen without some evidence.

No drama here, I know exactly who JediPanther is talking about and it was pointed out to me by other players we have played with. Player has a reputation among those who play in our level, I just do not think anyone has done anything about it until now.

Oh, sorry, you two seem to be relatively new to MWO.

So I guess I am one of your TWO due to post location and you don't know how to check a profile to see I have been here before you.

Sounds like he it trying to drop his PSR rating. I could care less what other player do or don't do they have no effect on my score and kills when its 1 person. The idiot event that promoted disconnects because they could not get the disconnect penalty right was a tiny bit annoying.

Report him. Stop being a baby and whining about it on the forum. So many tryhards and cryhards in the game and it just keeps getting worse.

The forums are slowly becoming much more fun that the actual game.

If you think they don't have an effect, you do not understand the game.
No baby here, just a civil discussion until you showed up whining about imaginary whining.

Well she did perma ban me for saying Paul should fire himself and insinuating he had a brain tumor. I think my exact words were "Paul, you have a brain tumor".

Admittedly ive been perma banned three times now and have a host of shorter bans, generally for the same thing. Insulting someone at PGI.

My youtube videos and twitch stream is also pretty much a "PGI is terrible" blog, and im sure that contributes to my constant 'contact' with the Community Management *******.

Oh fantastic. Now theyve simply filtered out *******.

Brilliant job PGI. Im so glad Tina went to film school so she could ban people on internet forums, that has built in filter settings for the BB, that totally prevent the need for community management and banning in the first place.

We have an ignore feature...

Pretty sure shed rather be making movies, than banning us on a forum, but you gotta pay the bills I guess. Its obnoxious, and its as bad a job as advertising or selling snake oil on late night TV, but im 100% sure, she doesnt want to do it any more than we want her to.

The community management in general for PGI has always been absolutely abysmal. Shes way, way better than Herr Snow. But were still building up a pretty large list of banned forum personalities, over relatively minor infractions.

8 guys in my unit are currently banned, and even community 'standards' like cSand are getting month long bans.

Its IGP all over again

That said, the sheer level of vitriol over the playtest, is actually at an all time high. I havent seen this many negative and insulting posts since #savemwo, nor as many bans and griefers.

Im sure most of the griefers are disenfranchised former customers. Most people who get banned, just dont care and move on to their alts (or the account getting the ban was the alt, skills weve picked up from PC gaming forums and dealing with "moderators" for 30 years now, never get your main banned lol). Its just a forum.

But some small percentage of them, wont be able to let it go, and will expend effort to undermine whoever it is they think is to blame.

Love. Because I love the game. Love the franchise. Love the lore. Have a history with it spanning three decades. Thats why most people who get banned, get banned. Because theyre angry at the direction PGI has taken.

And theyre usually drunk.

Thats my excuse.

Give me a "Comstar update" from PGI while im drinking whiskey.....T-minus 25 seconds to ban hammer.

Or, he doesnt work, and makes all his money with his youtube channel and bitcoin trading.

Why do people think that people who take shortcuts, are lazy, or stupid. If you can 'hack' life, you sir, are #winning. When you find a more efficient design for a lightbulb, youre a genius, when you find a more efficient way to live life, youre lazy.

Clearly the guy joining the game and not doing anything is not farming cbills (since you make nothing if you do nothing), hes just making the game worst for 23 other people.

However, im not convinced that he's stupid, or lazy, or flips burgers.

Whats more likely, is he's trolling games while doing other things because something or someone associated with this game, cheesed him off.

Maybe its Vassago playing with an Alt account.

It's called the "benifit of the doubt". When someone does something foolish / naive / oblivious, assume a situation where they can be excused for doing that.

Not knowing about Niko's regime, I wanted to assume you had a reason to other than being under a rock.

You really cannot put 2 + 2 together to get 4 can you?
If someone has been here as long as I have, then clearly I know about when Niko was in charge.
