And the event is up and starting shortly, alongside a Faction Play event. This one is kinda stingy with rewards, usually there's 10-11 goals with increasing total match score requirement.
And unfortunately, I can see what caused the stingy situation. I may even choose to skip (
although I've not really been getting that much time to play lately, so it would be more like accepting that Real Life has completely cut me off from playing MWO at all anyway) these free mechs along with any remaining Events until the end of July and support PGI's Staff that way over what I'm seeing has happened. There were some rude whiners crying for Free Mechs during a period of time where I could not step in to respond back, and nobody else posted in order to shut them down. When you couple that with a recent MechWarrior's death and add it all up, it's obvious that these whiners disrespectful behavior resulted in everyone getting punished over their rudeness. PGI's Staff did not tolerate it, and neither should they have to since their UrbanMech Event Queue item proves they are having a period of mourning over that MechWarrior passing away. Therefore the whole community got stiffed with Faction Play being a requirement to get almost every reward this time. And if you want proof? Well, go look inside these two threads...
...because this lunacy happening rather much proves that
"If you want a nice surprise, then NEVER complain before it can happen!" unwritten rule which has existed since long before MWO ever did. There are not many complaining posts calling for the Free Mech Event to happen, but apparently all it takes is regularity of a mere few posts at the wrong time to cause trouble for everyone else.
