nope
PP is actually a great deal if you want to invest in this game, you just feel entitled
All those mechs, paint, cockpit items and on top of all that premium time is included.
Which makes this idea even more laughable.
And they aren't "premium accounts", it's just premium time
Some of us have spent way more the $80 you sunk into PP, and we're not complaining about the cost of Premium time.

Do I have to redeem a code or something? How the heck does this thing work?

You should have gotten an email receipt, similar to when you buy MC

Yeah, thats not gonna happen.
You already got an awesome deal. Yeah it was expensive, but you are getting a lot per dollar spent. Many thousands of MC just in Mechs (and with hero-Mech like bonuses on many of them...these mechs would probably average 2000MC each even without the bonuses), 12 free mech bays, 90 days premium time, 4 cockpit items with permanent LP boost. You got a great deal.

Note, however, that it's difficult to lose enough value by not playing that your purchase wasn't still worth more than the next-lower tier of premium time - if you buy the higher increments. For example:
- if you bought 7 days of premium time (1,250 MC,) you're getting a little over 120% of the days/MC you'd get if you bought 3 days (650 MC).
- But, if you bought the thirty day package (2,500 MC,) you're getting over 214% of the value/MC of the 7-day package
All that being said, while the cost reduction of the higher premium time packages does make them attractive compared to their lower-tier alternatives, the inability of players to regulate their use of the time they receive makes it hard for players to accurately assess how good a deal really is for them, and makes us feel almost penalized for buying large chunks of premium. I'd personally be much more likely to buy premium time if I could regulate its use on at least a weekly (and preferably a daily) basis.

Yes the prices are high, but look at what we are getting for free. It's not like we only get 2 mechbays, but you need 3 in order get Elite skills.....
In other words, they aren't screwing us over like most F2P games do with character slots, inventory slots etc etc. So chill for a month, then buy some MC and have fun.

Check out the page again.
I'm personally not proud of this, but if the game does improve and PGI works better on balance after CW... then it'll be worthwhile. Either way I wanted to make sure I had the exclusive content. >.>

Yes, that is correct. The premium time will be available and ready for you to activate on the 15th, and won't start ticking down until you hit the "activate" button anytime thereafter.
