If need be, only do it for Legendary Founders.

That would be fair and entertaining.

This is only fair and just. Really, it's the way things should be. I can get behind this proposal 110%.

Why do I suspect that the popularity of this suggestion (which, I of course, support) will be directly related to the tag on the left of the post?

It is the kind of favouritism that doesn't cost them anything and fosters goodwill with the community? I don't see a problem with it.

P.S. Legendary founders I salute you.

You're already getting the Shadow Hawk, Thunderbolt and Battlemaster 'early' if you bought Overlord... Waiting 13 more days isn't going to kill you.

Yes. Yes it will. It will literally kill us.

Literally.

From a sociopoliical standpoint, I have to disagree.

It fosters goodwill FROM THE FOUNDERS, and only the founders.

Everybody else that paid the same am ount (and, with all due respect, does not have an internet-wide reputation for acting out of entitlement or rage) will be told "the Founder`s Money is worth more than yours was"

Even if the Founders only spent 20 bucks for the low end deal and you spent 110 for the full blown package.

The founders /"core players" are also the ones consistently doing everything in their power to be as detrimental to the game as humanly possible, the metacritic circle-jerlk was just the tip of the iceberg.

Why the hell would anybody in their right mind want to REWARD such conduct? 0.o

Either way, ******* off the "silent majority" by pandering to the childish demands of the no longer paying vocal minority that lives on an island sounds like a really stupid business decision to me....

I personally couldn`t care less, for all I care they can have them because I`m not a petty man-b!tch. Heck, I just got my Sarah`s Jenner yesterday, but unlike most others I didn`t open a new whine thread about it every day the last 2 weeks, because I understood the reasons and have no reason to assume that PGI is planning to kidnap my goldfish every time I need to use the bathroom.

And truth be told, the "core players" would still find something to whine about, so why even create the headache for yourself as a dev? :P

The Founders are like the America of the forums (in more ways than one). We're the only people that matter!

(BWA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAA!)

The $20 people aren't really "Founders" per se. They're more like the hired help in our pimped out mansion that we let sleep on the premises because it'd be too inconvenient to have them commute.

They contribute(d) to our greatness, in their own, small way, but you should never confuse them with the shining gods that are the Legendary Founders, or the somewhat-less-virile-but-still-semi-divine whatever founders... I can't be bothered to know what the lower tier is.

.. Veteran? Veteran of what? Failing to reach Olympus?

Well I am, and I'm not afraid to admit it.

WAH WAH GIVE ME STUFF! I'M ENTITLED! I DEMAND IT AS MY RIGHT AS A LEGENDARY FOUNDER!

:P

NO! NOT GOLDIE! I'LL NEVER LET HER OUT OF MY SIGHT AGAIN!

Also, only Legendary Founders should have access to Omnimechs. Veteran Founders can have the non-Omni clan mechs, and the scrub "Founders" can have the solhama scraps.

Likewise, when Rotary Autocannons come out... well....

:P.

It really says something when posting on the forums is more entertaining than the game itself :D.

Maybe if I join the trend of seizing command as soon as a match "starts" and arranging the lances according to the principles of astrology or the bible code or a magic eight ball... or whatever mad, lovecraftian "reasoning" they're using....

DAMN STRAIGHT! F'ing poors, thinking they are entitled to something. GET A JOB, YOU FREELOADERS! Us Legendary founders did all the heavy lifting for the game while you rode our coattails to trailer park glory!

Why is it only the Legendary founders?!

Why not the Elite or Veteran's only... make the Legendary founders wait with the rest of the flock...

Make us feel special!

That or people want to be locust punting earlier then anyone else!

Just got caught surfing forums in Networking class because of you...teacher noticed me trying to stifle sudden laughter.

I wouldn't even feel bad.. I'd just laugh at the rage that spewed forth.
