You can play the game as much you want without having to pay a cent... you even get 4 Mechbays for free...
The price of a mechbay is so low, if you cant afford it you probably shouldnt even play pc games...
Despite the fact that you can win mechbays from time to time...
grow up boy... nothing in life is for free...

I don't want to hear that "oh just sell one" nonsense. I'm a collector I keep the mechs I buy.

yes, however getting payment methods to get it (especially in some areas) is quite hard.
Not everyone is in USA who has gift cardss everywhere, prepaid cards, etc....

Your point is valid, and they know it. That's why there are so many opportunities to earn one.
Before someone calls me out on it, I am not including the 12 mechbays from buying the pheonix overlord package. I do spend MC, but never on mechbays, as they are too easy to get, for me to spend $ on.

Furthermore, if this happens, PGI need to get money from other parts of the game. If you enjoy the game so much, buy a fracking mech bay or two with MC. Making the game is not free, why should you get full value for free?
In addition, summing up the challenges offering free mech bays, including those including mechs, I can see the possibility to get 8 mech bays for free so far, just by playing the game.
I vote no.
I would rather see those of us spending hundreds of $ on this game get more free stuff, like patterns and colors etc.

You make a point at something why I wouldn't mind seeing a c-bill price added onto the mechbays, and I wouldn't want that c-bill price to be any less than what I suggested in my previous post of 10,000,000 c-bills. What I am trying to suggest with that is that effectively it should be cheaper to buy the Mechbays with MC than c-bills, but what I was saying is that I would much rather spend my MC on patterns and colors for my Mechs than storage.

Well, here's a way to get free mechbays, just by playing the game, whenever you want.
(It's not out yet, but since it's a part of CW, you can expect they are 100% working on it, and we should expect the retroactive injection soonTM )

Like right now. 15 games = 300 MC = bay. Or if there's a challenge with a 'Mech reward, you can sell the 'Mech and end up with new space.

Admittedly, I have 22 mech bays currently. I've bought several packages, I enjoy the game for what it is and am willing to fork over some cash to upkeep it for my continued entertainment.
Think about your average A list game, which in the US costs around $60 on release. How long do you tend to play that game daily until you get bored? I'd say my average tends to be about a week. Now, free to play game. $0 on release (technically). I bought the founders package almost as soon as it became available. I bought ~4 packages, and $15 worth of MC in that time. I'd say I've paid the equivalent to 3-4 A list games, and have played this one game for a much longer period of time and can forsee myself playing for a long time to come as well.
Yes, PGI seriously screwed some things up, but the game still rocks.

Plus, buying mechbays is for people who'll actually buy premium time or spend money on 40+ mechs and master them all. Either be devoted to the game, or play it often as I did for example. To clarify, I've bought NO packages, but just paints ;P. Except, I plan to order Urbies if I can use MC. But I'm not too sure about how to do it. I barely buy anything online, with Pay-Pal I meant.

On top of that if you played your cards right you'd probably have a few more for free from PGI by now
I will say that Hero mechs should come with a Mechbay though

If Mech Bays go for CBills, I expect it to be Tiered in some way. Say, make them 1,500,000 , and have them increment at 1,500,000 with every purchase.
So:
1st Bay: 1,500,000
2nd Bay: 3,000,000
3rd Bay: 4,500,000
4th Bay: 6,000,000
5th Bay: 7,500,000
6th Bay: 9,000,000
7th Bay: 10,500,000
8th Bay: 12,000,000
etc
So, at some point, it's possible but time inefficient to buy Mech Bays.
Though between events and the loyalty system, there looks to be more ways to give them out now. Throw in a few bay achievements (like your 25th Cadet game, maybe one of the assist milestones for each mech class, maybe a few new achievements), and you have a few ways for F2P players to earn them that are static.
