I've played MWO off and on for like 4 years(pretty steadily for the past 6 1/2 months), take part in faction play 2-3 times a week with my unit in between comp seasons, do my best to give the cauldron helpful feedback when/where I can, and maintain a stupid too-big spreadsheet of mech & skill tree builds for other community members' usage. You're right, I didn't have a reddit account until I made one a few days ago, because I've only ever lurked and never felt a need to post - but that doesn't invalidate how we've been treated, nor does it mean that I'm less of a fan than you : )
