Dear Gillwhatever,
I am sure I have been playing games much longer than you. Perhaps you missed the BETA part of open beta. The game has issues....we ARE in beta still, and it IS better than when we had closed beta....and it may be in beta a LONG time....still beta just the same. not worth the money? dont spend any. ANYONE can grab a mech and finsh basic skill in a couple hours....3 mechs in a day if the playeris unskilled, and elites inside a couple days (if unskilled and you spend time in the sunshine). ANYONE. money?....it helps speed things up, but its not needed. No patience, just plain don't like it? fine...quit. but don't sit around posting your undereducated list of unqualified (and yet already discussed) shortcomings here..use your personal facebook page for that crap. This game is moving along in development at a fair pace, and I personally, am MUCH happier helping play and test a partially ready format of game genre that I havelovedsince FASA introduced it,than to wait another year or two for another only mostly finished game.
On a personal note, in case ANYONE cares, yes I spent some money on the game...and I KNEW it would be a long time before a polished product was around, if ever. Heck I played EQ and it was never really finished

. Just the same, Thanks PGI, I enjoy it, I read the forums, news and watch SOME of your shows. Sell me some stock and you can get more money from me.
Yup...its a good game, a good time. I can't wait to see the future of it!
Thank You,
Bardlord
