Now we have the lovely visual customisation options we NEED the option for 3rd person.

I paid good money (MC) to paint my lovely Raven yellow but I hardly ever see it.

I want to see my mech!

I'd rather have a stable, playable, balanced and interesting game. 3rd Person can wait.

No Way

YES! A high priority to be thrown in the toilet.

Hey come on.... over 90% decided we do not need 3rd in any way at all!
for reference:
http://mwomercs.com/...rd-person-view/
and the poll here:
http://mwomercs.com/...son-its-coming/

So there is no matter of putting it up on the priority list.

There is not even a matter of putting it on the "things to be done" list at all ;-)

If you want to see your nice painted raven, you can do it as if you would do it with your new painted car: walk around it in the garage and then have a seat inside and drive around after that.

For this reason there was a little thing implemented that allows you to drag your mech around in mechlab - maybe this needs to be some more polished but that is the only correct way to view your mech from the outside. ;-)

And for advocating that his poll and thread does not represent the majority of the player base:

These are the public available numbers for the player base. If you have different ones implicating the opposite situation.... make them available here. Other than that, a discussion about statistical errors and such is not leading to anything.

To make it short, show numbers or it did not happen ^^

3rd person should not be a priority at all. More like that.

Never liked 3rd person in this series, except as an exploit to peer around corners without exposing myself to enemy fire.

Always played MechWarrior to pretend I was a fictional pilot of a fictional walking tank. A character from one of the novels, or my own character from the tabletop game. 3rd person detracted from that too much.

I predict that 90% will say NO.

[Pr8Dator]

If you wish to see your mech in action, you could ask for kill cam or replay mode (like in Need For Speed) rather than 3PS.

You will not get many votes in favor of 3PV.
