And how does one become a legendary founder?

You don't become a legendary founder. That ship sailed more than a year ago.

You can still become an Overlord though, should you so wish.

Well, you can get every 'mech in the Phoenix package by spending CB only, you just have to wait a bit longer for them to become available (Battlemaster is Jan. 22nd if memory serves)

Yeah i can grind! But a normal variant of it. No titles can be fought for , only bought!

@Stjobe
Your close to 4k forum posts tell me more about you then the fact that you have Legendary Founder.


Also i would like to edit that this is my current view of things , my hope is that in near future of MWO there is gonna be titles and much much more to fight for.

No other way to put this. You are stupid.

You are wrong and stupid. If not, there would not be so many forums posts.

Look at the culture you are living in. Look at the World. Friggin most powerful country in the world is broke. People cannot afford things - look at interest rates. You have countries in Europe going bankrupt and others who have a 50% employment rate. Are you KIDDING ME?

Read, for the love of all that is good, READ the INTERNET and READ NEWS and LEARN about the ECONOMY.

Here it is for all you stupid little kids in High School and College or just out who think that $35 for an INTERNET ROBOT THAT YOU WILL LOSE IF THE SERVERS EVER GO DOWN OR SHUT OFF IS A GOOD DEAL - YOU KNOW NOTHING.

What's more? There IS NO SUCH THING AS DISPOSABLE INCOME!

The government, your school, the media, the CORPORATIONS are LYING to you. You have a FINITE amount of money you will make in your LIFE. YE * LE = LiE. (yearly earning * life expectancy = Life Earnings) Money spent on frivolous crap like overpriced internet robots is a waste of POTENTIAL earnings on that same money. You can use that money to generate income, invest, invest in yourself (higher education, job training, personal business) and the money spent on these robots are then COMPOUNDED by the time you are wasting here playing this game.

These robots are NOT GOOD DEALS. They are EXPENSIVE and they are utterly useless. There is really no way around it. Yes I feel this way and yes it bothers me that I spend as much time as I do, as well as lost capital prepping for this stupid game (expensive machine, internet, etc).

Anyways, I know you will not listen, but it makes ME feel better to post it which means it is worth it to ME. Nothing else matters. You will look back in 10 years and curse yourself for spending that much money on a GAME. Hell, it may only take a year when you realize PGI drove this falming bus into the ground MONTHS ago. You will need that cash later and will not have it, wondering where it went and you can only look as far as your own stupidity, greed and short attention spans to see where it went. Srsly. 6500mc = $30.

To the OP... guy.... bank that $225 you spend on virtual games, man. It is not worth it. Think of what you could have done with that cash. For me, that is electric, water, sewer, gym for both my girls, internet, spotify, netflix, gas for the month and juicing for the month. There is probably a little left over in there, too for lunches and whatever.

What did you get? A sparkly horse? Maybe a different colored plane?

What happens when they shut those games down or the game changes so much you do not like it? Money=wasted.

I'm done.


wow. Thank you so much for educating me. I will be sure to remember these lessons.

Titles are useless on the battlefield anyway, but who knows what CW brings. Perhaps you'll get a title too some day.

I can understand the cost of mechs as once you have them you have them for the life of the game. I do think that the price of consumable items needs a long hard look though. I think I have only seen them used in 3 matches so far.

Well, you're either at work, and wasting your employers time, and the money they pay you, or you wasted some of your very valuable capital buying the Computer your using to type out the nonsense you type out above. You should have invested that monies sir. ;)

And if there is, and one will have to pay, even a small amount, that still leaves you on the wrong side of the window, does it not?

Fair enough, I'm so used to the "Golds is teh devul!" on these forums that I read more into your post than you had written. I apologize for that.

I think people buy many things in MWO, but the perception is that these prices are high. The high price reduces the number of transactions. Premium time is an example. I want to buy premium time, but $12-$13 per month is high for benefit received. So, instead of buying less premium time, I buy no premium time. Same thing with mech designs and paint. I would be find with paying the price for a design that went across all my mechs, but the MC price is per chassis. I think this is too high, so I don't buy anything. And the paint prices are just flat ridiculous. Having to pay $5 or more for something as simple as a color, is absurd. I have purchased hero mechs, but now I'm even starting to scale back those purchases because I feel that I'm not getting a significant value for my money. The C-Bill earning nerf is not making me want to buy premium time, either, it's making me hostile to the model being used. Now, PGI has already received a bunch of money from me, so maybe they've milked me enough for the balance sheet, but I'm a customer willing to spend much more money, but the perceived value of the goods offered is lower than the price.
