Sales happen every week. Why do you think it should change? If you don't like the sale, don't buy anything.

Lol, someone on the "Command Chair" post anticipated this kind of "countermeasures"

That is all you can do PGI... You dare to make another Sale and still ignore the community? Really? I have never saw such an ignorant company that cares so less about their customer. Unbelievable...

Ok White Knight

You're cute. Wrong, but cute.

[Glaive-]

Reading all of yours posts is beyond disgusting.
This is just PGI's standard routine. Stop linking everything PGI does to the whole 3PV mess.

Seriously, stop acting like children.

[DragonsFire]

There's nothing white knight about stating, correctly, that they do in fact have a sale every week. This is a pretty established pattern for quite a few months now.

[Tezcatli]

Madbros on these forums. : /

Still kinda eh sale for me. I wish they would have put the fractal pattern on sale. instead ;p

[Nik Reaper]

Also 2 thing to consider :
1 ) for every one that doesn't like the new changes it seems to be 50 that don't care and will continue to buy stuff and
2 ) if the trend continues we will see a lot more new companies ( or older ones trying to break in to online games ) that have such an approach to there community because they are too small and inexperienced to have a good PR team , leading to this...

P.S. : sad but true .

This.

Also, the "white knight" comment made me remember one of my favorite mechs:



Right? Let's get this one made! And a King Crab. And have a sale on them.

[Boymonkey]

Must admit even though Iam with you guys on the 3rd person thing many are taking it a little to far, hardcore mode will sort this out maybe next patch and all this buthurt will be a long gone memory.
Side note good to see Garth still here seeing russ threw him under a bus in his apology.
Garth keep up the good work dude.

[Jragonsoul]

The only thing I have to say is I normally (Almost ALWAYS) buy premium time when the sales happen. I will not be buying it this time because of how rewards were so heavily nerfed. You lost a customer for this premium time PGI. Just wanted to let you know why. Thanks for your time.

[Deathlike]

This announcement is "business as usual" and no tourney. How quaint.

Although, I know the BJ-1X was on sale like weeks ago, the BJ-1 isn't interesting. Why not put the Cent-A on sale instead?

Shouldn't the HBK-4P Champion (or any Champion for that matter) go on sale instead.... even if it were just a 10% discount?

Otherwise... "business as usual".

Premium time isn't interesting after CBill nerf. Will not give MC for the current lousy boni.

Maybe a camo pattern for my Hunchbacks...

[Trolzylulzy]

"Holy ****, PGI is having a weekly sale, like they've been having for a long time, instead of addressing the things I don't like!? Better flame 'em."

Literally what I see in the top couple comments.

[Morang]

Well, despite all my hatred about 3PV mixed queue (you may search my posting history), I'm not up to blaming them for running their regular routines yet. I'm sure they have a schedule, and putting on a mourning ribbon/flying a flag half-mast by cancelling weekly sales, announcements and screenshots will be absolutely of no use for me anyway - without REAL apologies and hotfixing the Hardcore queues. On the other hand, these weekly things absolutely won't distract me and bring me back to play, even less to pay.

So I don't blame them, though I'm glad to use this thread for putting memento mori in it.
