A few things I did not know were legal. Hopefully it finally gets addressed if enough people abuse it.

According to the TOS its legal. The two main settings remove all water and non collision mapped vegetation. Lets just say it really clears up the view.

Yeah I was watching the video right now and just got to veggie part and yeah that feels cheating, that setting should be blocked.
And I do hate those trees very much but still.

Sounds really fair...
Seriously, if you guys need to stick to such means... no, I am better quiet now.

Given the opportunity, players will kill the fun if it gives them a chance to optimize something. Have a relatively good looking game with pretty cool environments? Give a player the chance to turn that all off so they can click the bad robot easier and they're going to do it every time.
It is the designer's job to not let us do that. We have to be protected from ourselves.

By all means pitch a beech. I only linked this video because the only way to get it plugged up is to spread it far and wide and force it to be plugged up. Comp was already under fire for the binary hsl error this is just going to pile onto that. So if you are running comp this year make sure you use it and let EVERYONE know you are using it and its legal.
It also neatly explains why I kept getting nailed in ecm mechs at range when I was 'hidden' in a ton of vegetation and trees.

Jup, exactly this. This is actually a huge advantage because it can decide if you can sneak up on someone and core him or if he turns and fires a salvo in your face. You can also take clearer shots on mech parts because less vegetation is hindering your view.
You see, when I consider that people need to run a comp group with meta mechs in QP and even that is not enough but they also need to use these "tricks" to perform better...disgusting, simply disgusting. Most likely they need to compensate something by being good at niche video game by using every advantage they can get. When I consider some smug posts here flavoured "we are pro comp players, the rest sucks" or "You don't understand, we are pro comp players and we know better what we talk about" geez...I wonder if they realize how pathetic they really are. I feel only contempt for these people.

What would be a bannable offense in basically every other even remotely comp game in existence is legal here.
And people wonder why this game only ever gets 1500-2000 concurrent players online and why hackusations fly.
Absolutely insane.
Edit: Maybe we should include the "Dishonorable" tag above a person's paper doll when they modify core game files, much like how they did that in Mechwarrior 3 when a person activated cheats.

I'm willing to bet it's because most of them do this and are completely aware of how much of an unfair advantage it gives. Though I imagine some of them will start popping up with their 'Uh ackshually you suck and should git gud' argument here soon enough.

Most maps don't have trees that can be removed with this config so it doesn't change much on most maps. You're still getting outskilled by them so... sorry. Most of the advantages are conferred at long range because you don't get mountains that look larger than they actually are due to LOD issues (this allows mechs to shoot you seemingly from inside a mountain) and you don't get trees blocking your advanced zoom. Some players also get massive invisible buildings throughout the entire map at longer ranges without a config (mining collective for example).
However, I do agree that it can be lame that it allows people to not see trees that someone might be unable to see through otherwise. I know that it effects two maps the most. Forest Colony classic no longer has the small trees that you can walk through and Viridian Bog is quite egregious. The entire under part with lily pads becomes barren without the lily pads. This is actually a huge advantage and quite unfair. The config does not effect trees that can be shot or knocked down however. Anyway, on most maps I don't think it makes much of a difference, so I don't think it's fair to say that this sole advantage makes the "pros" better than you and without it they would be much worse.
It is still a problem though, so the solution here is get PGI to fix the issues people get without a config, but we all know that's never going to happen.
