Why do all fights end up in the tomb? Is it where they keep the "R" key?

Why do we choose the mech THEN the map? shouldn't it be the other way around?

OK SERIOUSLY PGI WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS THIS. I WAS SO READY FOR THE FIRE MOTH, THOUGHT “HEY COOL A FAST CLAN MECH, GONNA ZOOM AROUND AND BE A MENACE” AND THEN YOU GO AND DROP THIS??? WHY. WHY IS ITS ARM UP THERE. WHAT IS IT DOING. DOES IT NEED HELP. IS IT WAVING AT A DROPSHIP. IS IT TRYING TO HIGH FIVE GOD. THIS ISN’T A MECH IT’S A DAMN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. I CAN’T. I CAN’T. I GO TO LOOK AT IT IN THE MECH LAB AND I’M JUST LOSING IT. I CAN HEAR ...

I've been playing for over 8 years, spent hundreds on my mech stable, and finally broke 1000 hours play time. (As of this writing 1002, to be exact) Though I had taken the last two years off from playing and restarted 3 weeks ago Yet I've never once progressed beyond tier 5. I still enjoy the hell out of this game, which is the overall purpose of any game and right now I'm finally starting to wonder what I'm missing. What are the benefits of a high tier status besides well deserved bragging rights?...

Anyone used them? Any thoughts?
