Since launch? A team deathmatch mode has been asked for ... no ... demanded even before then.

Considering you've been here since December 2012, I'm surprised you're even asking.

I think you are forgetting that Assault primarily got played as skirmish anyways

(Oh and been around longer than that actually. This is my second account )

I can't really say -- I capped for the tears, the vast flowing rivers of male nerd-rage tears. <maniacal >

How is it still news to people that Skirmish is bad? We knew that before people wanted it. And PGI was correct in questioning it. And they say PGI doesn't listen. Often the problem is that they do.

And that is why I have never ever heard of anybody being banned for "disappearing" while being the last survivor on the enemy team on a Skirmish drop.

I should know.

When there is only 1 enemy mech left , the map should do a complete reveal! Trolls with ECM hide and wait until the clock runs out wasting the time of the entire other team . PGI has so many people and they can't even grasp a simple concept. Do a little if statement if enemy team has 1 sole mech left and there are 5 + mech on your team, reveal. So easy and they choose not to update.

Instead of you forcing how you want someone else to play, you can, and should, from now on;

ESC>Quit match.

Ta da! You are now not waiting.

Skirmish is not bad, your impatience is. Skirmish is not bad, you wanting game changes to suit impatience is.

You have control of your game experiences, utilize it! You do not want to watch the last mech play, don't. Quit the match.

Damn. With people like you it's no wonder PGI gets away with all those terrible game modes they produce. Isn't a game mode supposed to make you not want to "Quit match" to have fun if you are still alive?

I've killed 4 while being the last mech alive. I'd like to claim skill, but luck had a big part to play in it.

P.S. I was in a light...

If someone is wasting everyone's time by shutting down or something, report them.
In my experience it happens very rarely.

Yeah, Skirmish should have anti-starvation-tactic mechanics, as any other mode. And I've already suggested my solution - engage timer. Every team should have it. Initially it should be 15 minutes and should count down, if no 'Mechs from this team are engaged with enemies (mechanic is already in game - we have Domination now, so no excuses). With every death - timer should be reset to <'Mechs alive> * 75 seconds. I.e. last 'Mech standing will have 75 seconds to engage. Once this time runs out - team automatically loses.
