Oh, really? Why is that? If you don't have a good reason, then don't even try to hate people for wanting a particular mode.
Personally, I hate Skirmish and everyone's "Call of Duty/Counter-Strike/Halo/etc."-based insanity towards voting for it... But no, I don't hate people for such directly, just their mentalities, because they're still learning. Being that I started with Activision's "MechWarrior 2" and Microprose's "MechWarrior 3", I grew up with the thought/idealism that Objectives are supposed to
ALWAYS be a part of things. Being that Skirmish doesn't involve anything more than fighting, and not any actual Objective, it is therefore NOT in the 'Spirit Of MechWarrior' to me. Frankly, I wish people would vote for Conquest a lot more than they do now.

(
p.s.: BTW, you should NEVER attack people in Forums, but instead attack their ideas.)
So you feel that fighting the other team is not an objective. Since skirmish wins more often then not you should be able to accept that your opinion is in the minority. Calling out people's 'insanity' and insulting solid games that people enjoyed also seems to be a weird form of Battletech elitism that is not dissimilar to the elitism some have expressed towards the 'meta' game.
Please remember that your idea of what the 'spirit of Battletech' is or isn't, is just your opinion. To follow your p.s. as well, it doesn't make sense to insult a mindset towards skirmish while calling out someone for hating people choosing a mode that is quickly becoming even less popular than conquest.
Also, this is a forum. A place where people are free to express their opinion and feeling about this game. This is not a formal debate, so no one is obligated to share with you any evidence or material that support their views or feelings towards something. On top of that you don't get to be the arbiter of what may or may not be a 'good' reason, especially in a post I started.

I wouldn't mind it having a derpy build even if it can shoot, AC10s, LL and LRMs would be fine. And though it's stupid, it's still going to be a 13v12, so it's going to rile up others.
Well instead of the turrets having some meds I would at least like the Atlas to be firing them instead.
