As I said, protesting the prices is fine..even I think it's over the top!

However; there is doing that, and then there is conjuring up images of cigar-smoked rooms, with fat executives, pitching unscrupulous business ideas, with all the malicious- and patronising attitudes of business executives villains right out of a spiderman comic.

And i just sticked to the analogy. It is beyond comprehension to demand so much with so little assurance.

Soon the evil executives will take all of the money from the widows and orphans just before tricking Mary Jane into thinking Spiderman is evil! Oh noes!!!

The answer to prices you think are too high is simple - don't buy it! That's sort of how capitalism works.

Well, PGI deserves **** comments. Dafaq man, USD500 for one mech? Like seriously?

They aren't doing any **** or delivering any true content. All they have been delivering are mechs, and those too can be categorised as ****** content.

PGI, you guys should feel ashamed about yourself.

[Shadowsword8]

What are those exclusive modules and warhorns? Trolling unknow things under our noses in the hope we'll bite is rude, at best.


I agree with just about everyone else here. I don't care about 500$ gold mechs is they don't bring any advantage ovre nongold mechs.

But for the packages, it's another story. What you are doing, PGI, is delaying content that should already have been added in-game, so you can make us pay for it.

And at those ridiculous prices, this is not just misguided business pratices anymore, this is a scam.

I think people should take a deep breath (not saying you should calm down)..I think you're attributing waaay too much malice and cartoon-villainy to this situation. I mean protesting the prices is fine, I'd be liable to be right there with you, but come on. This is the real world, not Whacky Racers with Dikk Dastardly (had to spell it that way) at the helm, twirling his mustache between two fingers, while giggling maniacally.

I'd love to agree with you but that's exactly what it feels like, with Muttley, sniggering all the way to the bank

Congratulations PGI, you've just killed your game.

I bought the founders pack originally because I loved the idea of the game and wanted to see it grow.

I bought the phoenix pacakge because I wanted to continue supporting the game as it grew.

And both of which were a waste of money because the game has not grown, all that has happened is you keep asking for more money, and it just keeps getting more expensive for less actual game.

I'm done PGI, I'm not buying anything else, not until I see the ***** who though this was a good idea thrown out of your office never to return.

[Khobai]

Not buying anymore mechs because all of the mechs are way too similar at this point. Theres just no point to it anymore. Id love to support the game financially, but I wont do it through buying redundant content.

I was waiting eagerly for the clan packs... but holy hell those prices. The only mech I'm actually interested in is the timber wolf and the thor. I was ready to put down 60 bucks to get to the heavy tier. Oh well, I guess I'll wait for them to become available for cbills.

How is it doing?
Not good I am afraid.
appears some virus called CLANS is attacking the body. It is burning through the veins on the way to the heart and brain.

Anything we can do?
Nope..
It is on life support and we have given it a shot of SOON - there is nothing else to do but wait and maybe another shot of SOON. But that is it I am afraid.
Prepare and say your good byes in case it is terminal and doesnt respond to treatment.

There is hope the golden light - $500 get em fast - Save MWO!

[Naduk]

i cant wait to see these mechs on the field

i also cant wait to see all the hypocrites in this thread be the first out of the gates with them on release day
just like project phoenix , just like the founder program
all the same comments
prices to high, package selections bad, we hate you for reason X

every sale package they have put forth has sold more than their last
we even go through this on a smaller scale each time they put out a hero mech

we all know most of you are going to buy these
no matter how much you claim otherwise

Well at least you stayed away from the silly over-the-top cartoon-villain imagery ...as for the rest, I can't really comment on that. Not yet anyway.

Sorry, but mechs are literally what the game is about. Would you really say that tanks are not content in WoT? While I agree that PGI has **** communication (and/or bad planning) regarding vital game features, their content team is putting out stellar work in my opinion. Pushing further, selling content is what keeps the game alive, so really, the beef with new content packages seems misdirected.

U could not be more wrong, the game needs a purpose other than c-bill grinding then more mechs... players who have been here over year are SOOOOO BORED and starting to move on, all becourse the content is comming out WAY to slooooooow... it is clear u have NO idea of what u are talking about.

and to me it smells like Moneygrab, Nothing more!!! seriosly 500$ for a shining mech....= MONEYGRAB.

Wow.

This is insulting.

What can I buy for 500 dollars for a gold-skinned mech?

A beat up used car.

A decent used motorcycle.

A bike.

Any apple tablet.

Rent.

Granted, I know others have more disposable income than others, but the point is, the value here is not present.

What does being a Clanner get you? Didn't you, PGI, say that Clans are not going to be the all-powerful units that the books/other games portray them to be? So beyond just new skins over a walking skeleton, what's the big difference?

I'm done. Deleting my account.

Not spending my money on you. Demanding this much money from your customers... bleh. I'm done holding out hope for this game. At this point, I honestly hope you fail and the license gets sold to someone else who may do this game justice... preferably as a single player game with multiplayer options like the other games.

This... This is exactly how I feel, except I only got in at the Phoenix Package. But I spent loads on hero mechs, paint schemes and colors, and premium time to boot, hoping that my money was being well spent. Now, I'm feeling rather disheartened and feeling that I put it on the wrong pony. Feeling that I shoulda just kept it F2P and spent it on a PS4.

Just $ 4,000 bucks for all the golden robots. I'm in.
That's just chicken feed for hard working people like me.

I like that business plan. Hello good sir, how much money do you have? - Brilliant, thats exactly the price of our new shiny game that will be released SOON ™
That reminds me something...

[Penance]

Wow. The day I've been waiting for has finally come. I mean, now is probably the only time I'll be able to pull the trigger on these. These, who am I kidding, ONE. You get a lot of mechs, can't argue that, but damn, this is capitalism at its finest.

I mean, the mad cat is, among others, what I've been waiting for, and after having waited this long, i'll feel pretty bad if I didn't get it. the gold variants are obvious to all of us where this is going. soon, gold IS mechs will be around, and for 500? I'm pretty ashamed that they are taking advantage of the players an BT fans. I sincerely hope that at these prices they add more to these packs in terms of some unique clan skins / emblems, premium time, or Cbills, still time to do that, or even consider lowering prices, removing mechs, putting the in line with the founder packs, and crediting the difference to those who got, or give them an outright refund to re-purchase. Damn...I'm happy and saddened.
