In November, I was making bank each match. I disappeared from the game during December because of work and the holidays, and now I'm back. However, I'm struggling to break 1,000 XP and 200,000 C-bills per victory now, and that used to be my earnings on a loss. Did the earnings get reduced at some point?

My playstyle hasn't changed much, and I am still accruing a lot of the Rewards markers, they just don't seem to be paying like they previously did.

Sure you didn't have premium time running, probably from events, back then and it has run out?

1000XP and 200k on every match is smashing it out of the park every time.

Anyway... not to be a **** anyway, but I checked your stats. Pretty sure you're simply not doing as well as you used you. Your WL ration is 50% worse than last season, and your MSR is 54 points lower on average. You're still doing really well - Certainly better than me - But it seems your drop in profit is just a drop in performance, and thus reward.

Yeah, those are my normal numbers without Premium Time. With Premium Time, I usually get closer to 300,000 C-bills.

Not really. You just have to play to the Rewards System. I usually get a lot of Hit-and-Runs, Flankings, Lance in Formation, etc. so my rewards are usually high even when my personal damage or kill scores are not.

That being said, I am going through my garage to try to level some Mechs that have been sitting around for a while, so I was expecting a performance and earnings hit. However, this is much more significant than what I typically see when leveling.

Well, there's two ways you can take this.

You can accept that, for whatever reason, your performance has dropped, and thus, your rewards have.

Or you can **** yourself, insisting that you're as awesome as ever and something about the game has changed, though you have no idea what.

Your call.

You know, LRMs do bring in the C-Bills.

SRM boating does, too. Big, sloppy, fast damage has its perks.

You're a friendly cuss, aren't you?

If you don't know then say, "I don't know," and leave the thread.

Hurricane Matthew was pathetic... for the first Hurricane after i moved to Florida from Louisiana, a major let down. These people freaked out like it mattered too which also made me disappointed in them. just saying

Hurricane Matthew was a bad storm, actually. We were fortunate in that it swung away from us at the last minute. Had it swung inland instead, it would have been a very bad time for us.

A lot of you out-of-staters haven't the foggiest what to do with a hurricane until a freak one hits you, like Katrina. Florida's had a huge number of bad hurricanes come through, making the locals wary of the storms rather than complacent. Us natives were rightly concerned over Matthew and are very relieved that it failed to make landfall.

As for being, "Pathetic," it still killed people who lived in the offshore islands and were trapped in its path. You might consider showing some respect for the loss of life instead of this dismissive bravado of yours.
