Everyone knows what you are saying but people like his that make no effort to find others to play with.

Hes whining about something that is not a problem.


Not sure what you're talking about. Did somebody not read the first page?

My problem is the hundreds of anti-premade threads/posts that have popped up since closed beta, which are basically ridiculous. They make premades out to be evil devil worshippers for wanting to play on a team in a team based game, and many agee with them. They make changes to the game based on this that cripple units. That ****** me off.

None of us want to play with pugs. But if a unit wants to practice with 8 mans against pugs to try out a new tactic or strategy, it should be their choice to do so. Not have to jump through hoops trying to get 2 lances to drop together or arrange scrimmages every time.

It should be pugs choice to get on TS as well. The people on the Comstar Teamspeaks are very helpful and cool. It's not encouraged or promoted enough.

Unfortunately since phase 1, going on TS is pretty much useless. Getting a near 100% win ratio requires having 4 perfect players on your team to make up for having possibly 4 horrible/afk puggers on your team. That means not many people in random drops anymore helping the new TS guys learn.

do you truly believe the garbage you spew or are you just that much of a troll?

you think pugs should exist solely as fodder for your premade to practice against? really?

"getting a near 100% win ratio...." you are really that bothered by not having 100% on a stat that means nothing? I'm sorry,but just because you can hide behind 7 buddies doesn't mean you are skilled.

man,honestly,what are you....like 14 or something? or are you just a sociopath?

why are people too lazy and socially awkward to find a group to play with? Seriously you have either have to be a complete ***** or just such a socially awkward nerd that you can't stand human contact to not find a group in this game.


Yes. This exact reason.

Nah, just don't want to deal with people like you.

wtf. You did not add in World of Tanks and I just downloaded it. I'm not going to stop playing MWO. I will dabble in other games like FTL and World of Tanks.

You make a post saying you're taking a break, that's fine

You make a post including a poll asking what others will be playing INSTEAD of MW:O, you're trolling.

To make thing clear - im in a unit and we STOMPED pugs when it was 8 team.
We STOMP em now, 4 man is enough to kill em all 8-0 with our 4 randoms.

We are TIRED, we want real challenge, we want to play WITH OTHER 8 MAN UNITS, not with stupid afkers and trial atlases.
Pirahna gave their word about 2 weeks and phase two - so where is it?

Lots of QQ in this thread but, while not optimal from a coordination perspective (I for one cannot multitask typing and piloting a mech), I really do not have a problem playing with 4 random PUGs - most of the games I played were actually quite enjoyable. To totally boycott the game in it's current state makes no sense to me but to each one his own.

I'm looking forward to Phase 2 in order to start training again on combined 8 player teamwork/communications/tactics with my clan mates against other similar advantaged clans/premades. It's going to be LEGEND.......wait for it.......
DARY!

MWO wins this one, easily.

The PUG legions simply drown the premading elite with their numbers.
Or they drown themselfes with their own tears - I am not so sure about that anymore.

I dont really care...computer games come, computer games go...tis been like that since...well.

At least this time, the community (us) seem to be really shoulder to shoulder (exept some diehards "its beta" people) with this "enough is enough". I find this awesome...next year, what will I remember if I think back about MWO? A good game I enjoyed with my friends? Or will I remember PUGs running alone over the map playing solo in a team...and the worst thing, that I am forced to support them by trying to turn the table by fighting by 4 vs 4 + 8

I mean did anyone ask me if I want to join up with "Poodlemaker006" that is standing AFK at the base? No!


I dont know about you...but what I will remember is fun at the begining while everything was new, with a FAST downgrade to "wtf" within 2 weeks.

If this thread wasn't about premade crying about pugs that might have been funny for a different reason.
