Because that would deny part of the game to people who don't want to pay, and introduce an imbalance between people who can/do buy those mechs, and those who do not.

While very tempted by the Hula Girl Of Victory and taunting mech middle finger, my cheap *** won't pay for anything.

I liked a lot of the things listed. I went with other though. I would pay for Mech's and larger hanger space. To go into detail about the Mech I wouldn't want the "golden gun", just a mech that's not in the base game. Not a reskin ether say we do end up with 16 mechs in the base game
( 4 in each weight class ) but they had say 2 other's in each weight class that you had to buy ( at least at launch ) then if they where to my liking then I would by them. If they allowed you to have more than one account but had to pay a one time fee to have the same name but 2 different pilots then I would go for that as well. I like the idea of cockpit or a custom HUD though.

The Mechs I would buy are :

light:
1. Wolfhound
2. Valkyrie
3. Locust
4. Panther ( for those of the combine persuasion )

Medium:
1. Assassin
2. Hatchetman ( even if the hatchetma's hatchet wasn't able to be used and was there for looks only )
3. Shadow Hawk
4. Wolverine
5. Phonenixhawk
6. Crab
7. Bushwacker ( even if it was a prototype since it was in being fielded till 3053 )

Heavy:
1. Axman ( even if the AXE wasn't a usable weapon )
2. Rifleman
3. Archer
4. Cataphract
5. Caesar
6. Warhammer
7. Grasshopper
8. Marauder

Assault:
1. Highlander
2. Victor
3. Zeus
4. Battlemaster
5. Cyclops
6. King Crab

I really really hope that we don't have to pay for 'mech bays' Dumbest idea ever. It isn't enough that we pay for the mech, we have to pay for the right to store things we've paid for.

You could think of it as buying a bigger dropship. Like instead of spending C-bills, you just straight buy it. So, it'd be a physical upgrade not just some imaginary concept like "Mech bay slots"

Also, it should be a permanent upgrade.

I hope that doesn't happen, things as important as variants should be earnable by playing as well as paying. Things like special paint schemes or logos I think are ok if some are payable only and not earnable.

Yeah, I think the devs already mentioned that you'd be able to unlock anything that you could purchase given that you put enough time into the game.

Worry not CapperDeluxe and UncleKulikov. If I am not mistaken syngyne is correct. It has already been stated that all Mechs, weapons and equipment that can be purchased with real life currency can also be purchased with in game currency. So peripherals like paint schemes, decals, Hula girls and the like will likely be the things that you can't purchase with C-bills.

A new joystick, throttle, and pedals for my computer. Mine are a bit on the old side, and they're serials as well. (Not that that's a problem. Serial port cards are pretty cheap, and easy to install.)

As for the money I'd spend on game itself, past experience has shown that I'm far more likely to pay for cosmetic options than any other. For example, having access to parts to build a custom looking 'Mech, or special decals.

[The Boneshaman]

I don’t like spending money on things I can’t keep when an online game finally runs its cores just a waste to me. I would spend money on any of the FD mechs as miniatures

I dumped $20 on the first WoW pets and I don’t even keep them out much feels like a big waste of money.

At least I can tell myself the $15 is going to keep servers and new WoW content up.

I want a Paul bobble-head with a button you can push that says "You're still not getting your freaking MadCat."

[Vollstrecker]

I don't particularly care for the idea of purchasing individual designs, I feel that you should have to earn the chassis in-game via C-Bills or some such (I don't think C-Bills should be purchasable, by extension). Purchasing a refit kit to convert to a different variant faster or without the proper components wouldn't bother me too much, though.
