Poll: Founders skin instead of mech? (125 member(s) have cast votes)

So which would you rather have? The mech or skin?

  1. I like the skin as it could show I gave my support early no matter what mech I use. (30 votes [24.00%])

    Percentage of vote: 24.00%

  2. The mech. I don't care about skins and/or would rather have the bonus earnings. (95 votes [76.00%])

    Percentage of vote: 76.00%

I can see your point Neo. It's just that in the middle of battle they probably wont see your founders tag at a glance. The skin? That they would see.

I would assume the Founders' Tag is something that appears in the lobby, scoreboard, or whatever method they use to list the players in a match.

If the skin gets me extra xp or cbills, and can be transferred from mech to mech (but only equipped on 1 mech at a time), it would be really good.


Not the point at all. :P Would be OP.

Still not the same as a skin.

Granted, no it's not the same as a skin. I can only speak for myself, but I won't really be looking at a 'Mech's paint job in matches.

You say that now... But when Paul rolls up on you in a Pink Thunder mech... You'll notice.

Paul is an exception.


To every rule, theory, and law of physics.

Actually, there is no exception to ANY law of physics. If there was, it wouldn't be a law. It would be a theory.

In a free to play game ALWAYS go for the earnings. You will thank me later when you find out why.

Nope, play several free to play games. If I enjoy the game I am going to continue to play it... And thus eventually get all the in game earnable stuff ANYWAY. Extra exp or c-bills won't mater to me in the long run. Now custom skins? The good stuff? That usually costs cash. Can't earn it in game.

And if it's a special one that only comes with the founders pack.. You cant even buy it in cash. So it would be something you can ONLY get with the founders pack.. That would be highly visible and cool and stuffs. While those extra cbills and xp or whatever? Gonna get and spend plenty of those with or without a bonus.

Uhm.....take a look at World of Tanks again, you got the special M4 tank if you were in the beta, and pre-order package had the A-32, PzIV/V / M6 special. All of these tanks you can't buy and since they are premium tanks they earn more credits/xp.

A skin is useless, it's eye-candy that does not return anything but some sparkly camo or others. A premium mech has the advantage of a skin (it looks nice and is visual evidence) while also providing you with a higher credit/xp income

I only voted for the second option because I want the extra earnings; the cash grind in WoT is really lame without premium tanks, and I'd rather not duplicate it here.

The skins are cool, but the mech is what really counts.
