Mecha BREAK pilots

[Prismatic Lollipop]

Can somebody explain to me the point of having a customized Pilot?
You only see them during deployment or during a respawn, if it's a female you get alot of fanservice, but apart from that? nothing.
it's clear that the pilots only exist to sell microtransactions for, but you cannot even interact with other players in a hub area or socialize, what an absolute joke.

to add insult to injury, this beta literally FORCED me into deploying twice in a row into PvP missions and denied me any option to close the game or leave que.
what is this nonsense?

just play Armored Core, avoid this obvious cash-grab.

Yeah, perplexing.

I miss Hawken
Pilots were profile images.
All the customization was for the mech.

Back in 1997 it was coined in Zork as AFGNCAAP
Ageless, Faceless, Gender-Neutral, Culturally-Ambiguous Adventure Person
