Moles In Mwo?

The reporting player said in chat that it is not uncommon in these types of games, I am curious to know how common it really is and what other players think.
I want to play MWO, not Paranoia.

thankfully, it gets rarer in t3+
that being said: most of the TKs you see in T3+ happen for a reason ..

Considering that both "teams" are mixed from random players (assuming that you are talking about Quick Play) and that both "teams" are disbanded with the end of the mission, I think it is quite unlikely.

Well, it is hard to judge, is it not?
But there is one thing that you can check when you see such situation: Teamkillers or random griefers with a newly registered account usually use Trial 'Mechs, since they are free to use right from the registration.
Regular players (piloting either regular or Hero ¨Mechs) usually do not damage friendly 'Mechs unless by mistake or unless they are seriously pissed off.

I think it should be okay.
The time of the Word of Blake is yet to come.
Peace of Blake be with you.

What I think is that unless there is a proof provided and unless you've seen it with your own eyes there is zero reason to believe smth that a random internet person says. Deliberate team damage is very rare in MWO. In most cases its two guys having a "disagreement" regarding an accidental/careless team damage and slugging it out. Since this game doesn't have respawns doing deliberate team damage hurts the one doing it just as much (more in fact) as everyone else on the team. Needless to say with an automated penalty system persistent team damager would only be able to play 2-3 drops before he gets several hours of timeout.

I tried to report someone earlier this week but the reporting system did not work
back before the auto reporting system you needed to take a screen shot and send PGI an email
I got shot up at the starting spawn so much and sent so many e-mails to PGI
I swear I stop taking DMG at the start of matches
anyways we try to ignore it and just play

Oddly, both are in units and have obviously been playing for a long time.
Glad it is not common, the reporting player seemed to imply that a player helping the other team is just part of the game, report it and go on.

TKs happen, both for fun reasons (buddies TK each other once the game is in sure win-condition sometimes, I know I'm "guilty" of it) as well as for other reasons, be it trolling or the TK'd guy -is- the troll.
hint: look both people up if you're interested; there's Jarls and there's ofc the after-match-screen, which tells a lot sometimes.

Lots of people thought water was once turned into wine by a special someone. Over a billion people think that a fat boy with a head of an elephant brings luck. Another group of over a billion think that the moon was split in half by a merchant.
Nope. Just doesn't work like that.

As the more that lower skill pilots make it into Tier 3 and Tier 2, the more it'll happen.
Skilled players trade/move aggressive. Many lower skill players are totally unaware of this and how it works and run around with Advanced Zoom @ 100m and all manner of other silly stuff and just end up doing team damage constantly.
Just part and parcel of it all.
It's funny as I now run 5-6 back armour a lot more now to stop the stray friendly shot taking out my torso/weapons as easily. I used to run 2-3 armour max on most mechs.

Because you have to freak out and spam your UACs as soon as you see an enemy locked, even if there's a teammate in front of you and you can't actually see a target. You just have to.

Paranoia is a pretty good game though. If you're the GM...
