The one and only good time in the last year PGI has earned good will was Sarah's Jenner.

Let's do that again. The Gold 'mechs are ridiculous and have caused nothing short of a full scale riot, so let's turn that around, shalt we?

Announce that 100% of the profits made from Gold 'mechs should go to a charity of your choice. Turn what is to be a laughing stock stain into a sign of good will instead, and maybe, just maybe, dull some anger towards this.

So come on PGI. Do a real Christmas miracle. Give that Gold to the needy.

Fail poll is fail.

Lulz, you never have grasped the difference between a White Knight and someone who mocks equally. But that's ok Sparky.

I'll stand by my conviction that your poll is a fail because it is biased and only supports the conclusion that only your opinion is the right one, and anyone who disagrees with the first option is wrong.

So I say again, fail poll is fail.

Oh, and your "Full scale riot" is really 20 people posting relentlessly in the same thread. It's a threadnaut to be sure, but it's really about nothing. Which by the way, you have almost 100 posts in that thread, which means you have almost 10 pages of it dedicated strictly to your opinion on the topic.

You Forumites are so damn cute. It's a shame that you actually lack the foresight that God granted the common dog.

I hope PGI does a 180 and donates it to charity. I'm still going to put a bounty on the first Gold Mech I see drop in the game!

I'd be a lot less one-track on killing those gold 'mechs if they were symbols of a donation, I'll say that.

Hi, how's it going?

Why such a biased poll?

I do not feel that they should use proceeds to charity, I donate to the needy as often as I purchase MC.

[Durant Carlyle]

They are symbols of a donation...

...the donation of a BattleTech/MechWarrior fan to the one BattleTech/MechWarrior game option there is right now.

You want to donate $500 to a charity? Do it directly. Let those who would spend money on this game do their part to help make sure it lasts long enough for the features we are waiting on to actually appear in game.

Why should anybody who doesn't want to spend $500 on the game even care about giving somebody the option to do so? What's your problem with it?

Dude, didn't you hear? Victor is always right, no matter how horribly wrong he is.

[VikingN1nja]

Golden mechs are an option and unecessary to most, the top tier pack forces some to shell out 200+ to get the most poular mechs, thankfully I am not hardcore and couldn't care less.
If there had been a similar pack like the phoenix I would have got it I don't want light or mediums I want heavy or assaults.

Why don't we lower the price of those craps and give half price to charity and half price to PGI. Sound good?

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

Biased poll is biased.

Gold mechs are a great way for PGI to get high-rolling whales to subsidize the free players. Vanity rides with limited numbers available for sale equipped with prominant (and very easy to pick out in a fight) bling skins are pretty much an ideal revenue stream for any f2p game company to exploit.

In short, chill.

[Rhaythe]

This poll is stupid. If PGI can convince people to purchase anything, then they have every right to that income.

[Jess Hazen]

Charity yes this is more than acceptable as long as it is not affiliated with IGP.

[Roadbeer]

Poll gotten less bad yet?

Nope

[NRP]

This is a ridiculous thread, and a ridiculous poll.

You have an ideological gripe with gold mechs? Don't buy one. Simple.

[Axeman1]

The dev's are laughing their ***** off at you.

[Kanatta Jing]

Charity sucks.

Serving the poor bowls of soup so you cab feel better about yourself is not as beneficial as taking them into bonded servitude.

Even the OP hasn't returned to this fail.

I think the OP is Right.... All you insiders can say what you want but... Greed is bad...
