What would really get me excited is a MWO2 because I think in the end PGI made MWO into a fun and balanced game with good combat mechanics. The matchmaker seems to be the biggest problem so maybe they can invest in doing that better next time or hire it out to a third party. MWO2 on a better engine with new maps and similar game modes would be a success in my mind. They'd have to earn money off it of course so premium time and re-purchasing mechs would have to be on the table. But maybe if you have a MWO account you can port over some number of mechs.

Realistically it's usually something like "Okay. Great. How much of that can you do without taking one of my expensive engineers away from more important things?"

Fair point -- but I think there are improvements requiring minimal dev time that disproportionately reinvigorate the game an/or address longstanding player requests, and the current outlook has none of them. I acknowledge the extreme you're describing, but this is the other end of the spectrum.

Still I'm happy down here in tier 5 with my IS mechs and I can play for fun without getting stressed about win rates, builds, IS v Crybaby balance, etc, etc.

The last one dropped on the 8th so i'd assume the next one is around then.

Question how do we claim a free mech if PGI doesn't give us enough time to actually do the event? to get it.

Low income but zero development costs?
Hosting servers is actually fairly cheap and you only need a trickle of income to keep them running. The meat of the costs of any ongoing online game is development of new content. Games that are already finished can exist for years with a small population and still thrive if the only costs are server hosting.

They certainly need to be more consistent like starting new events on the same date to keep the ball rolling. It would feel odd if events for a new mech started on different dates each month.
