Not trying to diminish anyone's achievements, but it's funny to see Tier 3 players running their mouth over the test account being Tier 5 on the first few pages. In his streams he is actually upper Tier 3 on the live server and possibly a better player than you'll ever be. On the debug build that is shown there every account is actually Tier 5.
Edit: On topic:
These arms are a bit... weird. So is the cockpit (it needs some flattening!).
But otherwise pretty nice, looking forward to taking it out for a spin.
I find it funny seeing anyone base almost anything off a bloody XP bar.
I have played less than half my normal number of matches for the year, play "bad builds" on purpose (meta is boring), started just above tier 4 because of lack of games...and am one good weekend away from hitting 2.
As long as your W/L is positive, and your KDr mostly positive..... your Tier trends upward. How fast of course depends on number of games, and quality does get you there faster (as does organized team play, as you are less likely to lose, and winner always go up).
As epeen badges go, MWO tiers are pretty uninspiring.
