Jeezus Christ. The game is UNPLAYABLE unless I play with some lame 4 man group and It's been weeks, if not months. "ELO... I swear we're working on it!" How about you just disable 4 man pugstomps, or give the rest of us a chance for a REFUND??

This wasn't what I was looking for when I bought the game. "The game is group oriented." No... right now the game is GROUP MANDATORY. If I'm not some f*king 15 year old with an inclination or all day to dedicate to some ubergroup, I'm suddenly grouped with 6 guys who can't do 100 damage, vs a teamspeak experienced team.

PGI, WORST GAME EXPERIENCE EVER RIGHT NOW.... WAY TO WASTE THE COMMUNITY GOODWILL. Let's guess how many people you have lost after they join, get 4 man pugstomped and do 8 damage for several rounds with one of your crappy build trial mechs. 50%? 70%?

[Davers]

Sorry you keep getting teamed up with guys who can't do 100 damage. There is a way to make sure you end up with decent players...

[Mizore]

Ahm... you know MWO is still in beta and matchmaking phase 2?
Just wait some time until phase 3 is live...

Oh and you never bought the game because it's free 2 play

Congratulations on yet another pointless ragequit post. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Queue the excuses for a sometimes unbearable pugging experience. Just wave bye-bye to a larger number of PC gamers that like to pug.

You guys make bricks look smart. My apologies to any bricks that I might have offended by comparing them to the elitist ****** that keep defending the current pugstomping trend.

I've been in many PUGs where we stomp the other team. Also you can get on one of the free TS servers for the game and find some ppl to play with for a couple matches at a time. You don't have to dedicate really any time for this game for it to be good.

Just sounds like you're making up excuses cause you suck at the game.

Queue the excuse for losing constantly being as being attributed to premades.

Been soloing for the past couple hours and I win some and lose some. Some people like some games, others don't.

And op, if you want to try to get a refund, send an email to support@mwomercs.com and see what they can do for you.

Solution to this entire "conflict":

All players are required to be in a group before dropping. Min group size 2, max 8, with weight-class matching.

This completely eliminates the "premade vs pug" BS that's been polluting these forums for months. Everyone is in a "premade". Everyone has integrated voice comms with at least one other person(via the C3 implementation).

Do not feed the trolls.
Thank you.

I still pug the vast majority of my games, but when I have time for an hour or two of gaming, I usually head over to http://ronin-kensei.enjin.com/home, which is specifically for "Lone Wolves," those unaffiliated with any other group. Just sign up and hop on the TS server: Most of the people I've played with so far are really friendly and competent: It's everything you could want as a casual player!

In short, the solution to your problem is to PUG smarter. It's really easy to find some people to play with if you're willing to invest an initial ten minutes into finding a super-casual group of people to play with.

[KinLuu]

Premades are no longer a problem.

If I PUG, I run into a premade in maybe one out of ten games.

I used to play grouped only when premades were everywhere, but now it is perfectly fine to PUG.

I'm going to ignore the rampant prejudice and hate in your post and instead attempt to help you.
When I read your post to my casual angry Birds-playing gf she exclaimed "na-uh," because she realizes that team speak is great for just talking to your team mates who are real people and may be very similar to you. Your assessment of team speak users is wildly inaccurate and a bit insulting. The vast, vast majority of team speak groups in MWO are totally casual pick up groups using free ts3 clients on a free ts3 server and got the information from these very forums.
TL;DR Grow up and get over yourself and your prejudices.
