I've only made 3 purchases ever.

Gold Puma: the day they released achievements.
Overlord + Saber when released. (Or does that count as 2 purchases?)
Founders package when released.

1 time. 1st and last time. Had a 2+ yr old gift card laying around and spent about $17 USD around 11/13
Mech bays and jenner c on sale (still my favorite but not worth any real money)

Had I known PGI woud give free mech bays with a garbage mech to sell, I would of not spent a dime I only wanted mech bays but said screw it and got the Jenner.

This game is not worth spending much on, but it is fun playing it when you dont get matched with 8+ noobs 10 times in a row.

Oh and, I CANT wait to kill to gold mechs.. $500 to be a target for everyone, now thats funny.

I only buy mech packs.

So the founders pack.
Talon + Sabre pack
and the most recent purchase is the a la cart Ryoken.

Still have most of my founders MC because I just don't spend it unless things like the Classy Urbie come out.

Last bought 6500 MC on 14/04/2014 - The recent Hero sale and the fact I just got a computer that easily screams past the requirements for MWO unlikely my old machine which barely made the minimum spec and constantly had graphics card causing full system lock-ups if I played too long/played on Alpine have contributed to a greatly renewed interest. Bought Heavy Metal, 12 or so 'Mech Bays and spent the 180 MC left on the discounted XP conversion from last weekend.

Prior to that it was the full Overlord and Sabre packs.

I've spent for increments of 12,000 MC eight times, so I've invested around $400 in MC. Last time I actually brought MC was in March 9th.

Also, I brought the Masakari Pack as soon as it became available in December. What can I say, I'm a sucker for hulking, bi-pedal war machines. Also, it turns out that I'm doing fairly well in most of them (as in, the ones that I actually own, that is...)

November of 2013

3,000 mechcredits to buy 10 mechbays.

I have 53 mechs now.

I am inner sphere for life so no Clan stuff for me. If I bought the clan pack it would put me at 68 mechs to pilot. That's just ridicules that like having my own brigade of mechs.

FOXWOLFLANCE has turned into FOXWOLFCOMPANY.

If they bring out a Star League Lost Tech package I would buy it.

But I mean I am maxed out 51 was my limit then I got a free Cent that I already owned. and a free Thunderbolt.

3 Locust mastered
3 Commando mastered
3 Spiders mastered
3 Jenners mastered
3 Ravens mastered
3 Firestarters mastered
1 Hunchback basic
3 Griffin mastered
3 Wolverines mastered
3 Cicada mastered
1 Blackjack basic
1 Treb basic
2 Cents basic
3 Shadowhawks mastered
1 Catapult basic
1 Cataphrat basic
2 Jagermech basic
4 Thunderbolts mastered
3 Battlemasters mastered
1 Awesome basic
2 Atlas basic
1 Victor basic
1 Orion basic
1 Dragon basic.

I get in 2-10 matches a week with all of them. In a play until I win format to rake in 2x EXP. If I need cash I can rotate: Founder Jenner, Phoenix Locust, Shadowhawk, Thunderbolt, Battlemaster, Griffin, Wolverine, Put the grind economy to shame.

Over 500,000,000 c-bills worth of equipment. Might be close to a billion. All custom built to FOXWOLFLANCE specifications.

July 11, 2013 - I have since pretty much run out of MC (have 25 MC left), but since the implementation of 3rd PV and absence of CW, I am unwilling o pay any more money until I get some actual content in return (I.E. an actual metagame) and get on the same page with devs.

Improvements on this issue have already been made, but there is still a long way to go, before my wallet opens again.

I did some for yellow paint last time it was on sale to make my "gold" catapults/mechs, I bought into the early release mad cat then the grid iron. I was tempted quite a bit for the hero cataphrat but decided I needed the money for other things.Next time it goes on sale I want it because I just finished grinding up two other catas looking forward to my trigun ac10s.

Nothing since founders. I still haven't managed to use up the MC, since all I buy are paint and mechbays.

The YLW permanently soured me on hero mechs. If they ever release heroes for cbills (without the skin or bonus, of course) then I'd go out and buy a good number of the heroes for MC. Similarly I'd buy champions if they gave bonus cbills but bonus XP does me no good.

If we ever get confirmation on how long after release the clan mechs will be available for cbills I'll buy a clan pack. I won't support pay-only content that isn't cosmetic, so I won't use clan mechs I've purchased until the cbill versions are available, thus why I want to know how long of a wait that will be before buying.

Spent over $1,200 total on the game.

Last purchase was $100 worth of MC on March 22nd. Before that was the $240 Warhawk package in February.

They had a special sale where you got 20% more MC on the $100 MC package.

My last purchase was yesterday for $30; bought some MC.

Spent MC on a hero mech a few days ago.

Before that, I upgraded my Clan package to Daishi for $60 about two weeks ago. I plan on spending $30 more in about a week to upgrade to Puma...then Ryoken, Mad Cat, and eventually Masakari.

But on average, I spend about $15 a month on MC for premium time, mechs/mech bays, and xp conversions.
