MWO is not apart from the uprising of protesters in this changing political climate. The center for potato rights has adopted the term "Pottester".

The Pottester has no respect for himself or his teammates and only exists to advance the hard line solo player agenda. They have strong financial backing and pre-order political leverage.

Recent pottests have been on the sharp incline during the loot-bag event. The triple eject run out bounds pottest has devastated top FP unit damage numbers. But, most concerning is the time drain on organized units. Pottesting by refusal to open the gates on siege attack is a serious weapon of will. One member of a top FP unit has expressed his concern only with, "These recent pottests have caused me to look deep inside myself and adjust my play style to include more JJs. I hope jump jets don't get nerfed as a result of us jumping over the gates on defense."

As with any great movement of public opinion, the majority will rule. However, I am taking a stand and recommending that we all take a moment and hug a potato. They have been hugging us for years and we never felt the true meaning.

lol I approve of this thread.

Good thing it was put into the FP forum, it will get many upvotes.

If it was put into Gen Disc we've have half a dozen Wolf loyalists calling for players to be banned for no actual reason.

Or people with "Wolf" in their names sending hostile PMs because they don't even know what the actual f*ck they are reading and are getting angry.

True story.
