I play this game a lot. If you are new to the game, expect to spend a boat load of money to be competitive. Here are 5 things that need to change: 1. The matching system - during the honeymoon phase, everyone is easy to beat and you are a God. Then you reach a certain EXP level, and start getting slaughtered. Every...single...game. Why? Your power level is too low. How do you fix it? Buy stuff. The devs need to balance the matching system. 2. Tournaments. Power players will always fill the top 5 positions and leave you with ZERO acoins, which is what you need to upgrade your mech and weapons. Hence you can't upgrade and lose more rounds of the tournament. It's a perverse cycle of failure unless you pay money to upgrade. 3. Chat bullying. There is no report button. 4. Pilots. They were introduced to make more money at the cost of wrecking any chance of free to play user experience. Even big spenders complain about the cost of pilot upgrades. 5. Fire the decision makers of this game. Seriously, they took an awesome game and ruined it with greed. tl;dr- this is a pay to win game owned by a greedy Australian gambling company
