I didn't read through every suggestion, so some of these ideas may already have been proposed in the thread already, but I posted an extensive list of things I would have no problem paying for yesterday, and I'd like to contribute it to this discussion. So, here goes:
-Manyf2p games give you a small bonus just for spending any money at all. a 10% bonus to your c-bill and gxp rate just for spending $15.00 on MC means that most players will pay SOMETHING to get the most out of the game.
- Keep working with cosmetics like things in the cockpit and new paints/patterns/decals for mechs. Hell, make me pay to customize every button and screen in there to so it looks all my own. I could make all the HUD stuff light up in bright pink and tint the glass green, or change my aiming reticule.
- Let us customize the mechbay itself so we can display our mechs however we like.
- Make it so we can buy a custom voices for our mechs, maybe I want a dudes voice, or a lady with a french accent, instead of just the generic voice we get telling us missiles are incoming and systems are nominal.
- Have a weekend competition with a 300 MC entry free, the winner of which gets a hero mech or a unique skin for a mech, do this whenever you want.
- Let us customize the driver himself/herself, this could be as simple as changing the way your avatar looks in your profile, or as extensive as changing how you're dressed when you look down at yourself in the mech.
- Keep going with hero mechs, they're great without being better than what you can otherwise earn.
- When clans and factions come, add clan and faction skins for the interior of cockpits and the exterior of mechs themselves.
- Add fitting celebration animations to the mechs for when you when a match that have to be bought.
- Custom laser colors would be cool, maybe people want purple lasers, or yellow, or whatever.
- Improve the inventory system, and put a cap on the inventory that can be increased by paying MC.
- an MC only salvage module that increases your salvage bonus after matches.
- a deal of the day or deal of the week, put something on sale for a limited time and people are sure to buy it, ALWAYS WORKS in every game I've seen do this.
- make us pay for custom mech names, and display those names with our mechs on the scoreboards
- limited time xp/c-bill boosters. I know there is premium time, but some people who wouldn't pay for that would pay a little just to boost their time for a weekend when they know they'll play a lot.
- sell us real life stuff, t-shirts, models of the hero mechs, a book of mech concept art.
- different sets of arms or legs or different looking guns on mechs, basically just anything that could make the mech look like a slightly more unique variation without sacrificing the overall look of the chassis.
- shared storage space for clans and factions and such
- pay MC to rent a mech for 1-3 days. If the price was reasonable, I think plenty of people would pay to rent out a mech they've never used before committing to buying it.
Thats just based on the content thats in the game now, but with community warfare and more content, there will be even more possibilities for fun things and cosmetic changes that don't make the game p2w. Please read this thread PGI, and see that we want to give you money, we just don't want to pay to win.
