12v12 should really be comp anyway so i dont have anything against it. also if you made fp 8v8 we might be able to get games again.

nah i doubt its conspiracy theory worthy. but im pretty sure those discussions have been about building mwo into an esports franchise and nothing more. ironically its the inability to draw and maintain a player base (typical gamers) that's going to end up killing it. pgi's problem is they wanted the fame/profit and never wanted to do the work.

I believe most of the population of MWO is in NA, so its just a fact.

Do I understand this right... because you BELIEVE something it's a fact?

no the main race is 12v12. Dont know what you noobs are doing in that side field running 8v8's. Is obviously a level lower

How long have you been playing comp? what were formats for RHOD? MRBC? BOM? MOR? MWOWC? and some leagues that I don't remember.. how many of those were 12v12? I remember 8v8 6v6 and 4v4 formats.
So why should literally everyone else adapt to your 12v12? Hell if you think 12v12 is stupid awesome create a league and see how many teams sign.

Why do you not say with this game Burning? Comp players dont respect good pilots in group que because its not comp. But on the other hand I dont respect comp players because they arent playing 12v12, whats the problem is it to many targets for you guys to count?(buaha) Why would i respect a 8v8 game when ive put in a lot for work and attention for 12v12.

The crowd you are attempting to appeal to does not give [Redacted] about whether or not you respect how competitive is laid out, because the layout has no direct connection with why being good at competitive earns respect in the first place.

inappropriate language

I wouldn't totally opposed to a 12v12 format, but it's unlikely my team would compete. It's hard enough to cough up 8 reliable players plus alternates. Move it up to 12 and our roster wouldn't be big enough.

This thread and the HPG one are gold.

[thievingmagpi]

weird that all the best 8v8 players are also always the best 6v6, 1v1, 2v2, 12 v 12 players.

What even makes you suspect that?

What changes have they made to the game to promote it as an e-sport?

Outside of hosting a yearly tournament for less than half of the game's life what have they done to forward an "esports agenda?"

because you need 2 things to make an esports franchise. a game, and pro players. well you also need an audiance, but pgi always forgets some important detail. i dont think this affects the rest of the game, other than consuming resources that could have been used to flesh out the game. with what the mwowc has consumed so far thats a couple maps or perhaps another newtech pass.

to be fair esports is a good relief valve that takes the pro players out of the mainstream rotation and puts them into training mode. this could have been good for the game if pgi could have made it pay for itself.

Heyo I put together a 7-man in GQ and we ruled! Why doesn't comp do 7v7? I've put so much work and attention into optimal 7-man strats, so I think comp should go to 7. I don't respect anyone who can't do 7v7. Ash, Vxheous, you ever win a 7v7? No? Losers.

Except everyone with the game installed last year could make a team and launch this mysterious 8v8 thing you couldn't find in game?

Is 8v8 working today?

[Prototelis]

WC was open entry. MRBC and MOR8 are both open entry.

If you really want to sink your teeth into 8v8 it is out there.

[VonBruinwald]

So... private lobby only.

That's like our Nascar league...
