now if your new to MWO and battletech universe I have no idea where u will find a decent mech game at present. HOWEVER the dervs (Pirahnas employees, the ones that "Moderate" the game are going in and helping the "OP team" by using "voice" mods to alter there voices and actually TKing/FFing the trail team of new players using there merc account (mercs can go into most matches) several TK/FF by mercs (mercs have to be in unit or they cant match they the ubber) so the matches are preset before round starts on wich "stacked team" will win or lose: soooo paying for that OP mech actually puts u in a match wich u will win because the "servers" are set up to work that way and your skill at game is pointless. if the matches are set before the round starts (by the servers chooseing wich players are in match and wich team they are on is administratives choice, yes the 3 owners of the game) with more "purchased" mechs on one side and trials on the other it would be bad. so they buy more "newer op mechs) to think they getting stronger and learning game mechanics better. not that all mercs are devs : make sure that the OP players win more regardless of tactics or First Person Shooting Skill (if u say its a FPS). and yes there FF/TK (mostly dervs that play mercs but with differnet accounts). If u want to pay to have a "op mech" doesn't make much sense to use that "OP mech" to kill pawgs. on the 7 th day figured out dervs were in matches on comms using "voice changers" to adjust matches that are server controlled to "match OP" players against "newer trial players or PAWGS" so the server is against the new player, the dervs are against the new player as well as the 3 company owners. Just played MWO for 8 days first impression.
