Thank you for sharing your thoughts. While your passion is evident, I must remind you that your message violates several forum guidelines. Consider this a formal warning—should such behavior continue, appropriate action, such as a temporary suspension, will follow.
Now, let’s address your concerns thoughtfully.
"Your game is a failure BECAUSE it's pay to win"
I understand that pay-to-win elements can be frustrating for some players. However, calling the game a “failure” is a bold assertion without evidence. The game’s growth, continuous updates, and consistent player engagement suggest otherwise. While you may not enjoy the mechanics, many players do, as indicated by their willingness to invest both time and money. Success is subjective, but the data indicates otherwise.
"Let’s say you’re a typical white teenage male racist dumbass user playing Mech Arena (i.e., most of your user demographic)"
This statement is not only inaccurate but also inappropriate. Mech Arena has a diverse player base spanning various regions, cultures, and demographics. Resorting to such stereotypes only undermines the validity of your arguments and fosters unnecessary negativity.
"Oh, what’s that? You’re still getting your ass kicked because people keep blowing up your mech too quickly?"
Purchases, like early access to new mechs and weapons, are optional. Eventually, these items are accessible through in-game currency. Some players choose to spend money for convenience or exclusivity, while others opt to grind—both are valid ways to enjoy the game. Prices are determined by demand, and spending is always a personal choice.
Regarding chat moderation
You raise a valid point about chat toxicity. However, active moderation in thousands of chat rooms across multiple languages is not practical. The current reporting system, while not perfect, ensures that offenders face consequences over time. Persistent offenders are permanently banned, though it may take time and community effort to identify them.
TL;DR-
Yes, Mech Arena has areas for improvement—no game is perfect. However, the issues you’ve highlighted are common in freemium games. If the game doesn’t align with your expectations or values, it’s perfectly okay to take a break or explore alternatives. Constructive criticism is always welcome, but framing your feedback respectfully and adhering to forum rules ensures it will be taken seriously.
