No, what he's saying is stop asking dumb-f*cker questions you KNOW aren't going to get any kind of satisfactory answer.
PvE? You already have your answer - it's a huge undertaking, they're poking along at it as they can, but it's not going to be released anytime in the immediate future. They would like to, they've got folks working on the building-block systems when and as they can, but it's a big ask.
Melee? You already have your answer - the way 'Mechs are currently animated prevents the sort of physical motions you'd need for a melee system. They'd have to rerig every 'Mech in the game for a bare-fisticuffs melee system, something only slightly less burdensome on development resources then an engine switch or parting the Red Sea. If melee is ever implemented, it will likely be in a limited manner, with only those 'Mechs specifically designed and armed for melee (like Dawnstealer's Hatchetman) able to engage in melee combat.
Hitreg? An ongoing battle they address whenever they have anything new to address.
In-game lore? Possibly the only relevant question in your list. It'd be nice to get an ISS news feed back, and possibly something they could tap NGNG to do. That would be a worthwhile question to bring up - so long as it's "we'd really like to get some of these immersive feeds back - is there any way we can do that? Here's some ideas we have - are any of these viable?" Instead of "WHY THE F*** HAVEN'T YOU DONE MORE LORE?!"
Pilot-building elements? What does that even mean? Pilot skilltrees? if so, they've answered that - it's something they're working on and a high priority to fix behind all the blazing-on-fire priority fixes they've got. Things like picking pilot suits, pilot deckles, gender selection? Again, answered - would be nice, would like to do it sometime in the future, not a high priority.
Weapons 2.0? Again, what does that even mean?
MRMs? Rotaries? ATMs? Those are all the same question - "when are we getting FutureTech?" Again, it has been answered: Russ and co. want to hit as many points of the current timeline as they can, give all the rusty oldies they can manage their turn in the sun, before they set about time-skipping. Thet lets them give more people their Favorites, and also gives them more time to work on balancing ideas for problematic FutureTech like heavy lasers.
NPCs? NPCs that would do what, exactly? Stand at the bottom of your 'Mech's foot in the hangar and snark off? 'Elements that breathe new life into the game'? Again - what does that mean? What do you want?
Simply because you don't like the answers you have the the vast majority of your questions doesn't mean those answers aren't out there. Asking them over and over and over again, in as many nasty and spiteful ways as you can, doesn't mean the answers change. Piranha ignores most player questions because they're all the same questions Piranha has answered half a dozen times already. Pay attention, and you get your information.
Maybe I could have laid it out a little more clearly but didn't think it was that hard to understand. Chill dude, I was just lending examples of like questions I've seen. I'm not attacking the game nor will I. Personally, ya , lore would flesh out so much more and require less intense resources than other wish lists. I'm not going to get a twitter account. Laid up in a hospital atm, I apologize if what I mean becomes misconstrued.
Also, the "future tech" I'm sure would throw our fabled balance out the window. I'm not on one side or the other, I just don't care for bs from one side or the other. Tell it how it is.
