I played almost 14k matches without using any macros and reached Tier 1 without any problems. Sure you can.
I will try to explain exactly what I mean.
Normally, I have two weapon groups set for both mouse buttons. Third side button, MASC is set there. The mouse wheel acts as a zoom, and pressing the wheel turns on Adv.Zoom.
Only then I have to lift my finger from the left button and press the mouse wheel, when I use a macro I don't have to. And that's all it's about, making it easier for yourself.

Funny troll post, 6/10.

without macro you only make it more difficult for yourself because you have to move your fingers on the mouse

Oh no, what a hassle.
Do you also happen to have a problem pressing WASD, with your fingers tripping up?

of course then your ego grows because you can cope without macro but for me it's like forcing open doors.

Playing the game normally = ego boost? Your brain works in mysterious ways.
The only "cope" i see here is anybody "needing" macros in a game like MWO in the first place.

Well, actually i can see people with physical disabilities using them, they have a sort of justification at least.

Why do I have to move my fingers? to play 2xGR 4xERLL dire? I have more than two fingers you know....

Imo what a waste of third button.
I at least assume you play only mechs with masc?

Some wonderful and most intelligent developer decided it would be a great Idea to put top T1 players back to T5 after just a few years of inactivity, so I know the struggle. The general rule is:
T5-T3: play whatever you want
T-2: be a metawhore aka long range pinpoint damage and don't vote for maps that don't fully support that playstyle

ramen is peasant food at best and not worthy of my consumption.

This is correct. It's not even something you eat in college. Ramen is what you eat when your cooking skill is so low it's negative, and so you are physically and mentally incapable of conceptualising any other form of food.

The real question is why do you want to get to Tier 1? I have so much more fun when I que up with the lower tiers because it's so much more unorganized chaos and I can actually enjoy the mechs I play. Since I love hardpoint convergence and hate it when meta mechs look like stupid frankenmechs, I just enjoy the mechs that look cool and get my moneys worth out of without having to worry about tier meta whoring.

1200 calories.
75 grams of fat.
47 grams of saturated fat.
More than half a days load of sodium.

This is a tier 3 meal.
Tier 1 players hone their muscle memory and fast twitch muscle fibers with ramen.

I blame this game having nonexistent anti-cheat for 10 years than the cheaters at this point.

Real, authentic ramen is delicious. Seems like many in this thread have only had the 10 cent ramen packages from the local grocery store...

That occurred during the PSR revamp/Soup Queue change. AND initially they had put everyone into Tier 3, including starting new players. After a few months, those who had not dropped in awhile, as well as new players, were reset to Tier 5. Even today, Tier 3-5 still has long term players in it who were originally in Tier 1/2, and have played continuously. Could PGI not actually reset player's tiers and allow them to be flushed out Tier 1 and 2? They could have but it didnt work out that way.

[Moldur]

The highest kill count I ever got was when my PSR dropped due to inactivity and within my first 5 matches I had a 10 kill. This was after never having reached that many kills since playing in 2012.

hell forbid gamers be better at things other than games.

also ramen isnt exactly light in the salt department. i think its only preferred because it doesnt pull you away from your computer to go make it. i bet you dont even cook it. not the first time i saw a gamer nomming on a block of ramen. all those flavorless empty carbs.

Why the hell do you people keep calling instant noodles "ramen"?
That's like calling every noodle a spaghetti, ramen is distinctly made of thicker noodles (but still thinner than spaghetti) compared to other noodles.
