How about bringing the amount of c-bills one can earn back to the levels we had last year. It seems you are making the earnings in PUG matches low intentionally so people will migrate over to CW. Example? Spotting assists used to be 2,500, now they are 2,000. That's just one. Also, cost of modules to bring mech stats up to what they should be anyway are prohibitive.

which is ironic as people want to bring back the cost to repair one's mech to the game (CW I think) and with the C-bills so low people will go broke just fixing their mechs.

That alone would turn people off from cw.

and I shutter to think what would happen to the normal fights if some want to do that.

I think my average of C-bills earned every match last year and the year before was between 120 000, and 150 000 on good games, without premium running. Now its 90 000, to 110 000. But the game was far different then.

While I agree rewards should be pumped up. Basic rudimentary math shows that you still make more money in public queue, compared to CW.

waiting 20+ mins for cw game, is currently showstopper for 99% of mwo pop.

20 min queue times because there are no players, there are no players because of 20 min wait times. If only there was a "catch" phrase for this...

Funny, I don't wait 20 minutes at all, but I drop on planets that have attackers/defenders instead of just Instant Action.

Of course, I also play CW in a Group/Unit, so there's that as another advantage.

I wonder, if they did put the cost of repair and rearm back into the game, would that make cw wait list longer if people don't like the thought of spending their hard earned C-bills to do so and thus stay out of cw?

I mean wouldn't that turn many off from the cw part of the game?

also wouldn't that mean they would have to increase the amount of c-bills won in the normal game?
