It'd also be nice if they'd change the default when buying a mech from MC to c-bills (assuming you have enough c-bills to cover the purchase).

When I first started playing Mechwarrior, I used GXP on a couple of things. At the time I thought it was great. Bonus XP or so I thought. Now If I could kick myself, I would.

How about this:
After asking you "Are you sure, you want to do this?", they ask you a second question "Are you really sure, you want to do this?" and a third question "Are you really really sure you want to do this?"
We all know how this will play out if PGI adds a further layer of confirmation: Players will cry havoc and hell how that slows down their gaming experience and whether PGI thinks they are some dumb newbs.

That's why I suggested a simple "lock" on GXP unless you want to use it. If you're required to click the GXP icon before spending GXP, you don't need ANY confirmation dialogues. That's U.I. streamlining 101 stuff.

Are you kidding?
Why do that when we can ask for MORE redundant "Are you sure" and "You have used, now press okay" clicks.
This is the hand holding era unfortunately.
- Edit -
Also because reading that they are using GXP instead of XP is too hard.

...because mistakes happen. I think that's the whole purpose of this suggestion. It's why I did a search to see if someone else started a post about it because if not, I would have.

after a 24 hour period, you recieve the results, and then have to call support, to confirm that you REALLY want to spend GXP instead of xp, after that is done, you get a simple 5 time confirmation window which looks like this:
You know you are going to the Skills tab of your ui now:
Yes! no?!
You know you selected (mech chassis) to spend XP on?
Yes! No?!
You do REALLY REALLY know you choose (mech chassis) to spend XP on?
No?! YES!
Okay mate, now look, you are going to spend
GENERAL XP on this, those are
NO YOUR MECH XP!
AGAIN its GXP you are going to spend on this!
Are you REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY sure?
Yes! no?!
Now please get a confirmation from your Parents, and 5 of your friends, aswell as a laywer of choise, send
the hand written confirmations to our support team, that you are REALLY REALLY sure you want to spend GXP instead of XP!
I haz did dis! No?!

Being that this is the only mistake I've made with *any* UI in MWO, I guess I'm a few up on you then.

No need to get snarky. It was just a simple suggestion.
