Can't find the link since the search only goes back a month. Again though you ignore the rest of the post. You love this game and want it to succeed, yet you belittle people, troll and create threads that are just complaints and don't actually help with anything. You are hurting what you love.


The definition of a troll is anyone who disagrees with you. By that logic, you are a troll too.

"I refuse to play this game unless I can have my group and near guaranteed win!"

I bet dollars to doughnuts that you same people complaining about not having 8 man groups are going to be whining on here when you're only winning half your games against other 8 man groups. It won't come in the form of "we aren't winning so this sucks" as that would reveal the fragility of your ego, but it will be in the form of criticizing the economy in much the way many new players and non-premium folks have been.


Then how much dollars did i just win ?

Besides, totally off topic. This is no PUG vs. premades rage contest.

No you are a troll because you post useless non helpful topics while also belittling players, such as this: http://mwomercs.com/...ost__p__1457446

or this one:

http://mwomercs.com/...ost__p__1460811

Those are only the most recent. There are others farther back too that cannot be easily grabbed due to limited search and profile post.

If you didn't constantly make the same gripe over and over again and belittle anyone who pugs like they were a poison to the game (they are it's lifeblood), I wouldn't call you a troll.

There sure are a lot of "hardcore" players that don't know how to man up and play. Anything outside their comfort zone and it's not worth it to them. That should speak volumes about the state of the game for most players, but that type of introspection and perspective taking is not something I expect of these types of entitled players.

Don't be ridiculous. I don't want to drop with people who randomly run off and refuse to coordinate with the team to do anything. At least with 8-man drops, we know that we're all generally on the same page and there's no badmouthing the lance leader.

PGI, I'm going to be pretty scarce until 8 man drops are back in. Your gameplay is fun, but you're not doing a good job of maintaining a good gaming experience with the pendulum swing of weapons balance, the load of unfinished junk that's almost always delayed, and the horrid matchmaking compromise that satisfies neither side. I'm in software development and I normally sympathize pretty hard with developers, because I know their pains. I also know what would happen if for the last two months, the team I'm on missed half of their deadlines. It's unfortunate, because I really wanted to like your game.

P.S. The economy is kinda borked if you're running LRMs atm, premium or no. The rearm costs are sky-high unless you abuse the 75% reloads.

Where is the option to light the thread creator on fire and send him to Hell? I don't see that one.

Your poll is incomplete.

less QQ, more pew pew

I'm having as much fun if not more with matches being closer and actually sometimes a challenge
I'm not going to QQ because of a delay in 8man teams being back in, 8 man teams were next to no fun the way they were implemented before

True, but actual 8 man team vs 8 man team would be fun... Much better then the pug roflstomps of the past...

Still waiting for your link to the thread where I said I'm "Quitting the game forever if X" according to your original complaint.

I'll be playing more dota 2, which is also free to play. Anyone looking for complex multiplayer matches should give it a try.

My mistake, I probably got confused by the thread titled "Another 2 weeks dropping with PUGS? No thanks" followed by a poll of how you're going to spend your time not playing until the 8 man groups are back. I'm clearly totally off-topic.

So you have no evidence to support your claims. Then I could claim that you did all kinds of crazy things before a month ago, and you'd have no way to disprove it. See how that works?

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.

To the OP:
Playing with pugs may not be enjoyable to you since a while and you certainly are not alone. After playing two weeks only with random groups and then joining the unofficial TS servers for a 4-man I must say that playing together over voice already makes the game 100% more enjoyable. Probably even more when there are 8 guys playing together and I am very much looking forward to that, just not today and not for several more days, possibly weeks. I will continue playing the game, just because it still delivers fun moments, even if its just every 10th match.

I don't consider myself socially awkward, its imo the lack of social features within the game that makes it difficult to "friend up", the only (very little) interaction with other players basically happens during the fight or on the forums.

Remember: Not everyone knows of the unofficial TS servers, not everyone wants to join a clan/group and not everyone is comfortable with speaking in a foreign language.

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.
