I know myself and a lot of my friends would be consider purchasing mechs (and heroes) with MC if mechs were anywhere from $5-$15, but have absolutely no desire to spend upwards of $30 on one mech. To me, that price point is just... ridiculous.

Obviously there ARE people willing to spend $30 on one mech, as you've sold some Heavy Metals and other Heroes, but have you actually looked into the possibility that you may sell enough mechs at a lower price point in order to actually make MORE money than you are at this insanely high cost? For $30, I could buy a whole brand new game on Steam...

Just wondering if I'm actually in the minority here, aka being willing to spend more real money on MWO if the prices were fairer, or if I'm on to something and both PGI and the userbase could stand to gain from lower prices.

I'd be quite a bit more willing to buy some heavier hero mechs if their prices were lower. Right now all I own are a Yen-Lo Wang (a purchase I regret) and an X-5 (I love it to death). The high price points have scared me off from considering anything like the Muromets that I would probably otherwise pick up, and forget the Hero Assaults.
