Hello Juice. Thanks for the feedback. I actually thought of this group because several people I know around the MWO Community are exactly like this. The reason it wasn't added in to the equation is because it's an unquantifiable variable and not directly related to Hero Mech, the transaction system or the pricing model. This group of individuals will spend money on whatever up to their price point because they enjoy the game and want to support its continued development; this isn't dependent upon anything other than their enjoyment.
Essentially you, despite your willigness to support the development of the game, fall in to the category of "It's too expensive. If it was half what it currently is then I would spend more money on this game" but that isn't something that can be projected by those that analyze the MWO revenue stream; for all they know your words are just that, words.
When Champion mechs come out I would guess that someone will be sitting down with a balance sheet on Hero Mechs versus Champion Mechs and analyze the data in an attempt to balance the pricing model so that it appeals to a wider demographic.
Or...
I could totally be wrong and they will keep hero mechs at the price they are so that not everyone is running around in a Hello Kitty special which would make them a bit more rare as the player base continues to grow. (shrugs) I have no figures to support any of my data nor any crystal ball to see what they will do. http://www.amazon.co...s/dp/B000RVXXEW http://www.amazon.co...s/dp/B000X1L6MW ????Are these them???
