It's not the mechs - it's the pilots. Clan mechs are vastly crap compared to what they were when they were first launched. Trust me, if all the major units went IS, the Clan homeworlds would be surrounded by now.
As it has been stated in many forum posts, the highly dedicated, and skilled player groups choose clan tech because it has gross advantages over IS tech (they like to win).
The changes I suggested to durability, in order to make the IS mechs a more viable option, should attract some of these 'major units', which in turn would make the game more interesting.
then you would have a truly balanced battlefield and some serious competition in FP, as well as all other modes.
This would benefit the developers as well, for a single reason.
*Competition (in anything) generates chatter.*
Chatter draws outside attention.(what's all this noise about?)
People are drawn to the conflict.(these guys are serious competitors!)
New (competitive minded)players sign up(I can do better than them- - -) or (I'd like to be a member of that group - - -)
PGI makes much more $$$$$$.
*And the icing on the cake - the players finally get a fair game - most of this salted rhetoric will go away (some people will always find something to b**ch about ), and MWO becomes more popular (better save my lunch money for MW5 - - - )
Peace All
