Feb 4. Bought 6500 MC for the Ember. Had some left over and the X5 was on sale. I played the hell out of the Ember for a couple weeks, but it felt like easy mode. The X5 is fun in its own way, but I'm not great in Cicadas overall so I don't run it much.

Since last PGI's bait-and-switch with 1PV-only - no money from me (~170$ enough for this "devs"). It was the straw that broke the camel's back... LRM's, ECM, heat threshold, ghost heat, ghost delay, ugly single-shot AC/10/20 - I'm tired of this all. So just spending rest of my MC's and killing time till Heavy Gear Assault's team will show something playable.
UPD. Happy PP's refund (60$) owner. :unsure:

I purchased my Phoenix package and then a Protector and Firebrand in september

In November, I uninstalled the game beccause I realized we are never getting CW. Never.

I recently decided to try out the game again and log in just to get free crap, but I still refuse to spend money.

Not One Penny Extra.(NOPE)... Until Community Warfare... And I mean it!

Phoenix Package: Overlord without Saber, and then bought a Jester, which I regret. Then Russ and Paul nuked the forums at the start of December and that closed my wallet to them immediately. Possibly forever: check sig'.

At least December when I called BS on the announcement and selling of Clan mechs before CW has even to appear, because unlike some people, I actually stick to what I say.

I bought an a la carte Stormcrow when I saw how attractive the other incentives were to purchase a Clan package.... call me a sucker for a deal and a pretty mech. I feel like I got a good value and bypassed some grind at the same time.

Still, no more money from me until CW is out. I'm good on mech bays for a while (4 or 5 free, I think, not including those taken up by garbage mechs like the CPLT-C4 and my Dragons), I have mechs from 3 of the 4 weight classes, and I have the paint necessary to play in most Kurita paint schemes. I need to stop playing Pokemech and start practicing with a few mechs while buying modules to make them more effective. Target retention and advanced zoom would be really nice to have.

I've been patient and played the role of middle-sized whale for a good while. Now they get to finish delivering what they promised.

Then I got pissed at PGI for not fixing their game.

You are the man of great patience!

Since I'm interested in collecting my own data...

I'm just curious about how long it has been since you spent money on MWO. In the interest of not showing bias I'd like to know the approximate dates (as in days, weeks, months, etc.) of your last 3 purchases. That doesn't mean spending MC or activating premium time that you may have had left over from previous purchases.

Example:

Purchased MC Sunday to get enough to buy a Misery on sale
Purchased the PP pack approximately 7(?) months ago
Purchased Founders Pack nearly 2 years ago.

That would be my last 3 purchases. I'm not concerned about the amount or why you spent it. Just trying to get an idea of how often players are making purchases. Please, this also isn't a discussion about the value, worth, etc. of spending money, simply a simple survey regarding how often purchases have been made. I'm not putting personal opinions regarding any of this because I'd like a good sampling free of my own personal bias.

Thanks in advance for everyone who contributes!


Spend the $6.95 every few months (as I play less a couple months turned into a few, soon will only couple times a year if don't get CW's soon) to get some mech bays only, aside from that I have only spent $$$ on the Founders Pack when was already playing the CB (wanted to support the IP lawls).
Sorry not going to spend the time to itemize my purchases. :unsure:

Should at least get more mech bays, unless ofc you simply don't play.

I've bought the Overlord Level Phoenix Package with the Saber Bundle. That's it. And I was in the Closed beta before the Founders Injection.

In terms of comparing my own spending habits, lets look at PS2:
All Body Camos Bundle, All Vehicle Camos Bundle, Beta Access Package, a large variety of cosmetic Helmet and Armor kits and several weapons. All TR. All spread out over atleast a year of playing, atleast a purchase a month.

These devs depend on the whales who make this game their sole game and life pretty much.

I dont remember exactly when I last spent money but I do by mc once in a while for a mech I really want but mostly I just farm cbills to buy mechs.

I've spent way more money on this than any other game I ever have bought before. It's why I wish these free to play games would go away I prefer the mostly full packaged retail releases.

I only have 6 mechs now that we received that free whatever mech. I did not play back when the Cent was free. I only pilot Jenner's really, and Dragons once, Spiders a little bit, so I don't need more than 3 spaces.

Just a Jenner pilot, straight up.

Unfortunately for PGI that is a small crowd of people as without a functioning CW's they will limit their earning potential immensely. In its first 2 years WoT made massive (and I mean massive) amounts more moneys than PGI has in their first couple years, as they had introduced CW's relatively quickly.
