Explain how this is pay to win.

you actually get more uses at the same strength with the cbill option than with the MC option. It is a trade off....Grind cbills and get 2 shots per match or spend MC to get one shot per match....The option is clear to me....ill take 2 shots and sacrifice modual slots for it any day over paying money for only one shot per match.

Seriously, not to dog on you, but an investment is you putting money into something that has a viable chance of producing a return. You cannot consider the payments anything other than a donation when the game is in a "beta" status.

No FTC commision is around to rule on them completely reversing their prospectus, no over sight exists to ensure they act as initially promised.

This is more like an election, you donated your dollars hoping the candidate would make sensible decisions. All the Dev documents, all the prior posts, all the prior statements are merely "camparign promises". I know it sucks when your candidate does not do as you wish, but you also had no reasonable expectation that he/she would.

you are aware that the term "investment" does predate the Stock Market, yes? Or even modern banking. You can "invest" time and energy (and money) into things that are not FTC controlled, and do not pay off in monetary returns. The "returns" one invests on in something like a game is in the hopes the money is used to improve and continue the product, hence allowing you many more hours of enjoyment.

Yep, I'm not paying them a penny more until this is rescinded.

Check my sig for hypocrisy.

They never said they wouldn't look into the concept more and consider picking it up again.

Because almost all mechs can load all three consumables ...MC version, the MOST any mech can load at full strength is two.

I don't see why this matters if the consumables are not "Win Game Now" buttons, which they do not appear to be.

This pre suposes that
A) All other consumables will be rolled out the same as coolant pod
It is a good idea to use 3 consumables in lue of other moduals with Consumables
C) That mixing different consumables is even going to be allowed.

Your entire pay to win argument is based on your crystal ball or whatever you seem to be able to use to see the future. I prefer to see what happens rather than scream that the people who are making the game are ruining it based on what I think the big bad videogame people are going to do to my game.

Because I really, really wanted this game to succede!

I don't regret it, I had a lot of fun! But I didn't bought MC to buy me GOLD AMMO.

PGI stated this over and over: NO PAY-TO-WIN.

They betrayed every founder and every MC coustomer, I can't belive that and yet its true.

Where is the Gold Ammo? Those Consumables are far away from anything like that. Start to think before complaining please.
If you think you need it to win, then it is just an excuse for losing.

Yes, but that is moot to the point that spending money with PGI is NOT an investment.
