[LT. HARDCASE]

For all the talk of the XP bar, I still think less than 20% of active players are in T1.

For the record, If you haven't been in a top tier of a tournament (Div A/B MRBC, finalists in RHOD or Star League, or top 12 in WC '16/'17) I don't consider you tier 1...

There is quite a few players out there that haven't made the holy grail of Div A MRBC cERPPC, simply cause they don't want to play in it

Which is why I gave several examples of diverse tournaments with vastly different metas. I pity anyone that thinks that cERPPCs are the only meta weapon.

I gave a general list of examples. If you are not regularly playing with or against people of this caliber and holding your own then I don't think you make the cut.

If you happen to be one of a few dozen alternates on the list of the last place Div B team, I highly doubt you are Tier 1 material, but if you are carrying the team on your back in Div C, maybe you've got what it takes. It's kind of subjective at that level.

[FireStoat]

I'm Tier 1, but the truth of the matter is I should be on the bare inside of Tier 2, always being bumped back into Tier 3 when weekend players are a thing in Quick Drops and any semblance of teemwork goes out the window.

I'm still bummed PGI took the clamp off of the matchmaker again. For a nice while players would only ever be matched with people one tier higher or lower than them. As of my typing this, tier 5's are dropping with Tier 1's again. It sucks because for that short span of time the matches during NA late evening hours were pretty fun.

Please stop your elitism, depending on your stats you are one of these "potatos" you are talking about, if you cant catch up with an old, drugged and disabled man, whos using lrms in tier 1, finds metawhoring boring (and dont uses it) and only plays for fun and not competition.

Elitism?

I don't even belong in Tier 1.

I have a tier 1 clan account and a tier 1 I.S. account, and yet I am not a tier 1 pilot.

Most days I belong somewhere in the middle to lower part of Tier 2.

If you looked at my stats, you might even suggest tier 3

I am certainly not potato(most of the time )

[Humpday]

I was, till i realized keeping me K/D ratio high and only piloting top tier mechs started to really hurt my enjoyment of the game.

Now I just play to play instead of trying to impress the forum warriors.

For example, my great pleasure right now is the TBT-7M and all my Uziels. Whist I don't kill a lot in them I consistently score high(ish) damage...and more importantly I have a lot of fun.

[Gaden Phoenix]

Man this Jarl's list is going to promote Elitism. In the span of 1 hour, when reading other posts of people crying for nerfs and stuff, I actually start to check these people names to their score to see how good they actually are in game and thus how much they know they are talking about.

That's not the List's fault - people did the same thing with PGI's native leaderboard. The List just has a superior presentation and a way to rank a player's overall stats, instead of just individual stats (Which I don't think anyone's used here, except for me, and it was as a positive).

It's just another an attempt to do the leaderboard better than PGI does.

you mean it's yet another pointless epeen chart? Cool. Just one more reason why no phukks are given anymore.

Hit the nail on the head.

I log into this game day in and day out bc big stompy robots, high caliber ballistics, and an outrageous amount of any type of missle. It was just nice to see I'm not the most russet potato out there.

But yeah, you pretty much got it right.

Tier means about as little as that KDR that some people protect like their virginity.

TBH there are maybe ~50 active posters on these forums that actually play at a decent level and understand MWO, balance and the game as a whole. Doesn't take a genius to work out who they are either.

The rest are just throwing elephant dung like it's playtime at the zoo (IE; quite a lot of CJF Loyalists, for example)

MWO WC have show the Skill gap Between EU/AP and NA is very low(EMP is the exception to the rule), Its just NA teams can have a range of scrims and heaps more chances to work on there team play.

T1 in MWO means nothing, as the environment that you gain EXP is casual and no way competitive.

Gold isn't a very funny metal.

Now, if you were from Ga, that would be different. Gallium is hilarious.
