Your post, though...

I don't want to say I'm 100% right, only thing I'm asking for is some acknowledgement as a spurned customer. I'm not trying to say PGI is ****** 100%. I'm saying that from my perspective it is. People having fun, please keep doing so... but you're paying money to a company that charged 500$ for a single ******* mech. Are you really expecting to be treated as person? I mean, 24 hours down and easily 3-4 hours of that were communicating with PGI to fix it... and they give me ******* premium time on my off acount right when they fix my main knowing damn good and well that premium time will never ******* be used because I'm fixed on my real account...

I'm grateful somebody agrees, but I am not trying to say people who disagree shouldn't have fun. But they should know they're paying an arm and a leg for it.

How long did you play MWO that a three month period of nothing surprises you?

[Schmitty the Solaris Jock]

4 years, and we all know that the last year has been the period of time where the game experienced the greatest drop off. Since solaris 7 release. And I'm a founder. And I quit months after it came out because of the release pattern of mechs. I quit 3 months ago and the charger still isn't available for cbills? I was told in a way taht almost sounded reasonable today that it was because PGI needed to incentivise paying for it. Yeah, league doesn't need to incentive's that hard. Neither does blizzard. PGI wouldn't need to if they had better release practices, because they'd have a big enough player base to just accept what comes to them. Instead they're milking the whales. Most games don't make you wait more than a month for free to play to get on the bandwagon. I streamed for like 3 months hardcore in MWo and was the fastest growing streamer for 2 of those months. I had a good vibe, but the last month I was very disenfranchised because of all of these reasons. I became a drunk because I didn't believe in what I was doing anymore. In fact I haven't really outgrown that since.

I literally had a breakdown, unrelated mostly to MWo for the most part.. but MWo did catalyze that breakdown. PGI is completely failing to provide a good environment for a community that used to be far greater than it is now. MWo's community is still the best around... and that's despite the ******** they're producing. Imagine if PGI actually wanted the community to thrive. Imagine PGI caring like blizzard does.

And blizzard does it on half the money I've spent at PGI, across all the games they've ever made... I guess if you include wow it's the same price overall. But blizzard has done what PGI has done, on 3 games total for the same price PGI has done it on what.. 8 maps? I don't even know. And PGI can say they don't have 1/100th of the customers but they lost a lot of customers by being the way they are.. they could get them back by being 100x more accessible. And WE ALL KNOW that would just make the community better.

Of course he's right. Who's disagreeing? But shouting and getting angry as an adult solves which problem? It is reminiscent of SJW behaviour. Better to grow up along with growing old, ya know?

So, please....

Dude, the only person angry here is the SJW inside you.

If not for SJWs, you'd still be some lord's impoverished serf working your *** out for practically nothing. But do not worry, the 1% are actively seeking to make that so once again.

Something to think about.

Funny. Those SJWs you referenced to there are spinning in their graves looking at what the current SJWs are doing. If you think screaming and shouting to get your point across in the 2nd decade of the 21st century is valid, then no wonder you guys have given rise to the 1%.

[Schmitty the Solaris Jock]

You're doing that wrong.

Social justice warrior (SJW) is a pejorative term for an individual who promotes socially progressive views, including feminism, civil rights, and multiculturalism, as well as identity politics.

In no way am I doing anything that could be called a social justice warrior. I'm bitching about the company I've payed hundreds of dollars to basically making a fistful of broken promises. (the other fist is clearly holding on to my cash)

Am I correct in summarizing this topic thread as a "wahhhh fest" by a low skill potato threatening to quit the game again and generally violating the CoC in multiple methods to get attention like a typical troll ?

[IronWatch]

Y'know, I remember a time when games just came out and you got what you got. I remember the era of new MMO's and getting a balance pass every couple of months. I don't get this 'FEED ME NEW CONTENT NOW' attitude of modern gamers. If the games still fun, what are you complaining about?

Edited by IronWatch, 21 April 2019 - 06:51 AM.

[Schmitty the Solaris Jock]

The point is they can release a mech pack every month but can only seem to release a new map every like... what, year? That's just rediculous. Give the community modding tools and let them make it, and then modify what they make to have a bit more polish. That's how starcraft does it and the results are amazing! And you know what? Most games that come out and give you what you got (as you put it), well... they had more playable content than MWO has produced in the entire lifespan... yet they can put out a mech pack that makes a AAA game seem cheap every month.

No matter what mechs they release, the likelihood it will produce new content is slim to none... unless you count slightly different hit boxes or slightly moving meta. PGI could have easily of produced more content that was worth playing. More guns, more maps, maybe even some small co op story mode content. PGI can make MW5, an entire AAA game but can't seem to put any of that effort towards the game that's kept the lights on for years? Honestly the track record makes me think MW5 is gonna be 5 hours or something. How can they possibly produce anything close to the length of previous games if they can't even make a reasonable amount of content for an actively money generating title, let alone even release those mech packs without breaking the game for somebody.

I wanted something that made my investment enjoyable again. That's not asking too much and I stand by how I feel... and getting old content that was discarded as "new content" and a recycled map honestly was the last straw for me. No other game costs near as much for new content as MWO. The comparable new champs in league are what, 15$ each time? Overwatch gives you content for free, in fact I've never spent money in the game and have gotten a lot of free skins. Hell, even elder scrolls online has a more reasonable fee structure. Pay 15$ a month and you don't even need to buy the DLC. And yet I'm the one that's wrong for expecting more for my money?

Actually it doesn't cost you a thing to have PGI develop a map, it costs you money to buy cosmetics. You sound like you've spent a lot of money on nothing and now demand something in return aside from all the nothing you've already bought. Its a free to play game. Hey if we're also gonna sit around and complain, doesnt PGI have another game coming out soon? One with years of development nearing the end of production so their teams are probably highly focused on that instead?

I think if you quit approaching the world like a pouting 13 year old this whole thing will look a lot less like an injustice.

I know it's already been moved to K town, but I do feel I need to add some things.

1) OP, you are forgetting quite a few things changed in the last few updates. Namely reworks of lock on weaponry and related info-war equipment.
2) They are working on quite a lot at the moment, including a rework of Faction play as well as MW5. They don't have hundreds of employees and what they can work on at any one time is pretty limited.
3) Its quite entitled of you to expect major overhauls every single month. Why can't we be happy with some balance changes for an update or two before some major mechanical change.
4) I've paid quite a bit more than you (based on how much you've said you've spent) and I've got quite a lot out of it. What it sounds like is that you're being an entitled brat for not getting control of everything because you bought a product and didn't like it because you didn't care enough to actually examine what you're buying.
5) Pointing at Blizzard as an example PGI should follow while also later going on a rant about getting free stuff in f2p games... ******* lol.

I don't get #5... considering overwatch is cheaper than some mech packs. I also never demanded a re work of the game, I'm saying there are a LOT of avenues for improvement and content additions... I'm mainly annoyed there are not more maps after all these years. I pointed at blizzard content as a good example of how more maps could be achieved for basically free by PGI.

And I always was frugal with my mech pack purchases, but it doesn't matter what mech you take out... polar highlands is still polar highlands. Doesn't matter which mech I'm running if it's got the same basic build on it. Or I guess more importantly, it does matter which mech I'm running because a lot of them are massively inferior to the meta-best. Ultimately there is not enough content, but that's y'alls problem.

I'm just saying why I quit; all 3 times it has been because things cost way too much compared to other free to play games, not enough content is being released, or the meta is stale AF.

All 3 are true right now, but again... that's y'alls problem.
