I find it a 'meh' idea.

Please, complain more about how PGI tricked you into purchasing the new mech.
Wait... U didn't purchase it?
So what's the problem?

That is all.
P.S. it's not a bad thing.

The collectors get their early playtime with the new toy. There's plenty of chances to show it off to the regular players. You can build hype.
No one gets offended, PGI makes money.

Had there been NO assaults what-so-ever and PGI did this, then there would be some reason to be upset. Now only people who paid for the Hero mech could run an Assault and no one else can. That would be an issue.
As I see it, the mech base is now such where they can release the Hero mechs first and it isn't an issue. Matter of fact, it is probably good business sense too.

I think everyone noticed, and decided this is a perfect way for the company to monetize without cause undue stress on the player base, because two weeks is really nothing in the long run.

It just feels right to give this sneek-peak first, marketing for the full release two weeks later. Nobody is forced to buy a hero variant, but those who want have this short time to feel a little more unique.

I hope they use the cash they get for some quality testing for future patches.

Perfectly OK with me if this is the way things are done with new chassis releases form now.

A much better way of making money than MC / C-bill modules.

like others have said, this is an excellent idea. they should have been doing this for all hero mechs from the start. idk if they are following lore or w/e. the only slight problem I see is that people can't master it for another couple weeks.

We had plenty of complaints when they removed the CN9-AH to add the YLW. Which made it so free players couldn't get to Elite because there were only two variants, the A and AL, that were free...
Plenty of complaints even though we knew the CN9-D was coming in a couple weeks.
I expect complaints from HM owners
Ya I think they should release the new mech 1 week after the hero variant. 2 weeks is a bit far off for those who purchased it. i didn't.

Just no. The mech makes you extra C-Bills and you want it to be purchaseable with C-Bills?

Reading between the lines you're all fine and dandy with players paying for an edge until PGI releases a ****** mech (lol Slowlander) and now founders are crying just as hard as casuals.

I plan on mastering 3 Highlanders because I loved them from TT. My name in EQ was Highlander not because of the movie, because of the mech, I was a Barbarian Warrior. Side not, my computer and laptop are Madcat and Timber Wolf.

Good business move, and the rest of the community can get the CB variants later on.
