I decided to unlock Prime mode and level my classes back up again. Now I'm all maxed out.

Exactly. It's like buying car and it comes with no passenger seats, it cost extra. Everyone works fine on its own, but if you want the convenience of driving other people, it cost extra.
"everyone else paid for it" in no way justifies it. Feeling forced to buy it is a hard sell on their part. You should want to buy it for what it really offers. Not feel obligated to buy it so there's less of a hassle.

That's not an accurate analogy. It's more like buying a car, then paying extra for something you DON'T need but it's nice to have anyway. Like GPS, or a sun roof, or OnStar.

And when the GPS was released, your stereo would only turn on 1/4 of the time but would work perfectly like it used to if you actually purchased the GPS.

That stereo was broken since the car came out. Really, I'd stop with the analogies at this point.

I'd get dropped from matches repeatedly even IF I had the right map. While this doesn't help the matter at hand, it doesn't actually make it worse.

Actually, it works fine. You DONT need passenger seats. The car works perfectly fine for you and you alone. It's your interaction with others that makes you feel as if you need it. Same with the maps. You dont need them till someone has them.

Bottom line: I bought a product that used to work fine and now it's got a defect.

I'm going to get dropped anyway, the reason doesn't matter.

So they HAD host migration, but then they removed it when they released the DLC? That's news to me.

No, Shadowman. We were discussing the "continually getting dropped for not owning the DLC maps" situation.

It's WfC, you're always getting dropped. It doesn't matter if you have the right map or not because chances are, you were going to get dropped from it anyway.

I only had enough time make it to Prime mode. I did since I knew I was going to at some point. Boy was it painful going back to lvl 0 though. I needed get momentum going again and get a few more perks going. I still had some great runs perks or no perks but I had some games I was like ouch that was bad. (particularly because my team all bailed and left those remaining horribly outnumbered.)

The last night of the 10x exp weekend I joined a game where I was placed on a teaming losing by 10 or more as the scores were like 25 to 11 when I joined on the molten stage. I rolled in as my leader, and was like the touch was playing somewhere as I just came in and started wrecking people like prime does when he came into autobot city.

I just was making all right moves as I scored like 5 kills right away as I kept firing my fusion cannon and someone just was there everywhere I turned. I had some soldier try whirlwinding me then disrupted him into tank mode and put him down. I barely managed get cover from a scout trying snipe me and placed a mine behind an object as I circled it and it killed him. I was on fire, then all decided try and gang up on me. They managed get me a couple times but then my team rallied with me and we just kept pounding them and pulled off a win.

I laughed as one of the other team complained man...you only won because Lastjustice joined. I dont have a headset so I just was silent during the after game. I of course didn't feel I deserved all credit by anymeans just was an amazing turn around. I know I cant beat them all alone(believe me I tried it doesnt go well heh.) but I turned the tide. They probably got complacent too.

When the weekend started I was lvl 10 in every class except Scientist at 15.

I got to Prime mode about two hours before it ended and managed to at least get started on my classes after the reset by playing only one match of each class.

In one Conquest match I got my leader and Scout to lvl 8.
I got my Soldier to lvl 7, and my Scientist is at 11. I got 10 of those 11 levels in one match, the last level was bonus xp from getting alot of xp on another class.
