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!

-Yesterday. Added 29.95 USD to purchase MC.
Used some to purchase the ON1-V on sale. (Alt account)

-1 week ago, purchased Thor Package (Alt account) $90 USD

-2-3 Weeks ago, when 50% off Days of Heros sale announced, bought 29.95 USD in MC.
Used it to purchase a Heavy Metal and a Jester as they came on sale, respectively.

I actually really don't want to know how much I have spent on this game, since I bought the Legendary Founder's Pack, Overlord Phoenix and Saber Reinforcement Packs, and every Hero Mech but the Death's Knell, Golden Boy and BoarsHead. And sundry quantities on premium time and paints and such.

But since this is essentially the only game I play, and have played it almost nightly for 2 years give or take, I don't feel too bad about it.

or in summary
4-22-14: 6500 mc
4-16-14: 6500 mc
4-13-14: 12,000 mc

Founder's pack a bit before open beta.
Phoenix pack a bit before it's release.

No further or previous purchases.

I buy something once a month on average (29.99; or if it is an expensive Hero; the next tier up).

Bought Pheonix, and Bought the Clans (highest one - not the Gold).

I just spent my April funds yesturday to get a Jester (was curious; don't like it much - all energy).

This is my hobby now; no other games I buy, so I can justify it.

30-50 per month seems reasonable for games.

Haven't spent a dime on it yet. I would like to buy some Paint Options and Cammo Patterns and maybe some Cockpit items but I am currently financially challenged. I do however refuse to buy any of the Omni's, at 55$ Per mech its just not economical unless you're someone who has money to throw away (Though if you can throw away money throw it my way, lol). Now assuming I could buy some things, I would as I do enjoy the game, no matter how much I may suck at it (I average 3-8 Assists/0 Kills). IS Mechs aren't too badly priced after all, I'm just broke and playing on a PoS.

Thanks guys! Again, the amount is completely unimportant. I don't want this to turn into a "spend more" "spend less" "it isn't worth that much" "it's a great value" type argument so just the dates. I'm going to be doing a follow-up to this as well with a more specific "how often do you" type thread. I'm just trying to collect some data that will get more detailed as we go and eventually include amounts :unsure:

The simpler the better when starting data collection :D

i took a look in my profle and here it is.

4/14 - 1250 MC
4/1 - 3000 MC
3/21- 6500 MC

It would appear that aprox. every 2 weeks I grab some MC I get paid weekly so not sure what the pattern is from. Probably sales I would imagne.

I am going to try really hard to keep this on topic as well. Don't worry, this is a string of threads and we'll get to the commentary portion after the data is collected :unsure:

I stocked up on MC during the Black Friday sale and haven't burned through it all yet (but I'm getting close...). Before that was the Overlord package and cancer jenner

You should make this a poll so it's all scientific and stuff.

December: Bought a year of premium time.

Since then all of my gaming budget has been going elsewhere as I no longer care to support this game in the state it's currently moving.

Just checked, September and July I made a $50 each.
Credit purchases don't reflect Phoenix or Sarah's Jenner, just MC purchases.

My last purchase was March 23, 2013 - 6500MC

Got some mechbays, a couple of colours, and converted a bunch of XP

Back then I was telling my teammates that we wouldn't be seeing anything resembling Community Warfare for a year or more despite assurances to the contrary, and I wouldn't spend anything else until something substantial made its way into the game.

I still have some fun playing, but it's not engaging in the least.

Don't remember the dates of all this.

Basic Founders pack when it became available.
Some MC for a Fang dragon and couple of mech bays when Fang/Flame became available.
Some MC to play around with a few mechs I couldn't be bothered to grind out coin for.

Last purchase was Pretty Baby when she was released, decided to vote with my wallet a few months after that when they continually screwed up balancing..zero money spent since then.
Considering some of the new clan mech stuff but haven't researched it enough to decide yet.

Beta - bought the heavy level founder's pack

Phoenix - bought the heavy level Phoenix pack then upgraded with Sabre

Spent $10 to buy the oxide when it came out along with some leftover MC from beta.

Haven't spent any more since nothing has been done about parts of the game I would like in, I.E. community warfare and more community game activities in general.

edit: Roadbeer reminded me that I did buy the Sarah's Jenner, but I don't consider that a purchase from PGI per se.

Think I put $15 in when some colors were on sale a wee bit back (Yellows maybe? I forget) and mech bays, though iv lost interest and didnt even participate in the win five get a free tbolt event, clocks a ticking and im weighing $55 of the alatard buy vs....well everything else ranging from steam/origin sales to cashshop items in other games: Really hinges on how the nova/warhawk pics come out and what sales are going on next month.
