Not that any of the devs or mods would dare honestly answer this...

But are you going to quick fire in a bunch of terrible updates with consumables and p2w features to drive up some final sales while you prepare to announce a game shutdown with little to no notice?

Kind of what it feels like.

obvious troll bait?

The thread is called Serious Question ... You do the math

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you're not a troll.

I saw a thread started by a mod earlier in an attempt to get genuine feedback on what they thought of the consumable design, feedback that isn't just "do not want." I also saw another mod (Niko I think?) mention that he was compiling a ***** tone of feedback on the subject. So, I'd not lose all hope just yet. I too don't want a pay to win design to be the norm.

Edit: They're also not going to post in this thread, not because they're dishonest or "chicken" but because it's phased like a frat-boy dare.

The conspiracy side of me assumes this is the truth, but they've been so constantly flattering about hero mech sales I have to assume there are enough dumb people throwing money at PGI that they didn't NEED to do this to stay afloat.

As such, it is simply the first step in guaranteeing long time players continue to pay into MWO instead of just buying once and leeching for years.

Yes, Niko did start a thread to gather information. Personally I have doubts that the dev team cares one bit what the information gathered says.

I don't really expect a response at all, but I do want to raise that this is a concern that I have been having recently with the way the dev's are handling things. Almost like it's gone to testbed for the next game with little to no regard for the current player base or game quality. Just feels like it's to a point like, "Well we are on to the next game, but lets see how much we can milk this one out first."
