Oh, I almost forgot.

I would go all in on a Kingfisher pack with an ECM variant, without second thought.

Being utterly disgusted by the direction of the game (and by those in charge of directing it), I wish I could take a break for several months at least. Unfortunately I foolishly chose to participate in the tournament, and feel compelled to make an effort for the sake of my teammates if nothing else.

The exodus after the tourney is going to be immense I think.

Most of the complaints about "Ghost Power" aren't about builds like that. The biggest fear is that if PGI bases it off of alpha strike only, it will lead to a purely dakka meta because ACs have low alpha strike per ton but high firing rates.

Not really that but as bad as Kodiak Domination is even on the tourney server, it's still a substantially better version of the game that the one currently degrading on the live server. The hamfisted mindless rescale really drove home once and for all for many people how totally clueless PGI is about how the game actually works. Coupled with the minimap change and piled on top of burnout and the half hearted tourney itself, it's sortof a last hurrah and last straw bundled into one.

I know, I'm joking.

But you know what...? How many times have you seen a request for lower heat cap? This will have a similar effect - make dakka rule the field. It's almost what we have asked for... except for the increased dissipation.

That increased dissipation is exactly what would allow a low cap to potentially work out somewhat. Ghost Power is basically lowering the cap but keeping the dissipation the same.

Playing for 2.5 years.

Bought only 2 mech packs: Roflman (bad decision) and now Kodiaks (good decision because of the op KDK 3).

Bought some mc packs for hero mechs and mechbays and have like 4500mc left and no idea what to spend them for.

Never bought premium time.

Played a lot of faction play what finally made me join the 12th donegal guards (very good decision).

Playing regularly with my unit on monday and thursday.

Playing PUG matches when my real world duties allow. 10 month old son (very best decision ever) , wife ( also a very good decision) job and business trips cut my time budget.

Read the forum and sometimes put my 2cents in it.

Love the game but being bit frustrated that its full potential does jot get reached because of bad decisions of PGI (faction play content, maps, game modes)

Loosing faith that the full potential will ever get reached.

Afraid that the players frustration will cause the player base to shrink further, which will someday result in servers shutting down.

I only play about 2 to 4 hours a week. I check the forums often to see if/when various changes I am interested in are in the works.

Frankly, I find the forums much more entertaining than the game at this point.

I stopped playing/paying back in May due to computer trauma.

I am simply here now to bring justice/mockery to {Richard Cameron} posting on the forum.

You are vengeance.

You are the night.

You...are...ForumWarrior!

I still play and spend money on mechs and such. How ever my play time has been reduced by another game. I am not board with MWO it's just that the other game I am playing is called ARK, and if anyone knows that game then you know it's a freaking time vampire.
You jump on planing to only play 30 min and the next thing you know half the day is shot for a number of reasons. Mostly because, at least in my case, something goes horribly horribly wrong and you are trying to fix the situation... Yep... ARK life.

Honestly?

The core game of running around in giant robots appeals to me. I still have fun on the limited maps and nerfed mechs available to me. I do tend to buy mech packs if I'm interested and the occasional MC if discounted. I play almost daily for several drops before logging off. I'm in love with the battletech universe and will continue to play.

With that said I hate almost every aspect of the game with the exception of the community. You love your children and want them to have fun. You simply don't want them to play in the street, well PGI is playing in the street. They are dodging cars left and right while smirking at their parents yelling at them to get out. Wouldn't you want to run up to them, pull them off the street, and give them a smack across the face? I know I do.

You can't take back the fact Faction Warfare was 90 days away from open beta. Or Transverse. Or deleting the General Forums. Or the Community doesn't know what they're doing. Or no more drastic balance changes. Or firing your volunteer mods.

Look, I have no reason to like PGI. I feel they have a terrible corporate culture which is never going to change. I do not blame the development team, I blame Russ and Paul. I get this feeling they only care about a quick buck, not a sustained financial future.

To answer your last question...I will no longer buy anything from PGI. Mechs WILL get nerfed for no reason whatsoever and if that's the only part of the game I enjoy...I have no reason to continue support it.
