Because buying even two colors is equal to buying a new commando, for some players it is too much, or they don't know they can later repaint in those colors all their mechs for free(result of camo spec phase 1, I think), and I still can't understand, why some colors cost 500 MC and others - 1000 MC
P.S. My mechs are purple and I want a pony-like camo pattern

Here dude, go all out crazypants.

Once we get CW in the game and Merc corps solidify we'll probably see more people in matching paint schemes.

Why bother when you end up using heat vision 90% of the time.

Plus I cant see my mech, so in all honestly why bother.

screen to dark?

The default pattern is pretty bad for most mechs, and aside from PC Gamer and Phranken the patterns all replicate real-life camo schemes which generally don't look good in bright flashy colors. If you're just going to make something camo may as well stick with default green which works well enough.

If the patterns were more gundam-like we'd probably see people going for flashier stuff.

Because C-Bill grinde is already bad enough and I won't put real money into the game due to PGIs overprized items etc.

The default camo works pretty well on most maps. Also, the Cbill colors suck. They are dull and don't go together very well. And you have to pay for any good colors.

Cosmetics are all you need to fund a FTP game.
Hats. Big mech hats.
All you need, totally.

Enemy won't single me out immediately if everyone wears green. Also, that moment when you duel a green Catapult, chase him over the hill and fight him again only to find out that this is a different green Catapult.


Best reason.

Founders mechs can't really be painted (I usually use my AS7-D at the moment).

[Thorqemada]

Bcs you dont see any other colour than shades of blue in this game...

(Thermal Vision rules)

[Lyrik]

Can't wait for april and the changes to ThermalVision :-)

I'm glad that Imgot the PCGamer Skin xD 1.250k for a color is hiGh for the standart f2p players.

I don't care if I stand out in the crowd. It just means more kills for my teammtes ;-) Oh, and try to chase my 150kmph Jenner :-P

All my Mechs have the sheme of our unit.

Camo woodland with blue, grey and black.

Watch out for us

[Moromillas]

The C-Bill colours aren't that great, they're too garish, and there are better things to spend your money on.

[FunkyFritter]

A custom paint job tells my opponents that I either play a lot or really like this particular mech. Running the default setup hides information, I see no reason to pay cbills to give my opposition an advantage.

CGA mech! Even MW1 supported VGA though, so that's bit outdated

1) They are pricey (even the cbill colors).
2) They are not high on my priority list.
3) The apparent ocular distress it is causing you is a bonus.

Cheers!

If colours become cheaper and permanant.
If there is a custom option so I can use guild colours logos for Clan War.

Until then I may as well use whatever the default is, otherwise I'm putting extra incentive for enemies to kill me.
They already do enough of that.

The "free" CBill colours are terrible and cost too much. I'd rather put theose CBills towards a new module or mech.
The MC options are various prices, ranging from expensive to ludicrous.

I've heard horror stories of people paying money for colours then "losing" them when they switch their mech up and having to pay for the same colours over again!

I'll never, ever EVER pay for something that can be lost in such a way.
