It was suggested to me, by a few people, that we could have a "Mechlab/Patching/Pugging" channel, just above "Looking for Groups".
I don't quite understand what this channel is needed for. Isn't the lobby or the general Mechwarrior Online-channel enough for if you're just messing around?
I don't really see a need for an extra channel. Use the lobby or a regimental channel as suggested above.
