13 dollars on mc about a year ago. I just can't justify 10-15 dollars per mech. And i feel bad for all you loyal fans forking over serious cash, then just having you biggest gripes and concerns ignored, or put on the back burner. People who have spent over 60 dollar on this game deserve to have their desires made reality. Perhaps like their own voting system for deciding priorities over the game developement. Otherwise you guys are just paying the f2p users portion.

Also, the more posts we have, the more say we should have, unless we are in a unit, in which case we should get no say whatsoever.

60 mechbays
Elite founder
Phoeonix overlord
Masakari package
every hero but 3
doubles and triples of some heros

countless purchases of MC for premium time, individual camo for every mech, bunch of colors, tons of GXP conversions on double XP sales, MC purchase of most assult mechs, and alot of MC purchases for other doodads.
Certain its in the 4 digit range.
And I couldnt be happier with the game so far!

$1,115 Total ... so far.

I am happy with my total spent. I have received much enjoyment from playing the game.

$1,115 divided by 20 months of playing time equals $55.75 per month, so slightly less expensive than buying one "AAA" title per month. I haven't purchased any new games during that entire time. *shrug* Works for me.

And yes, I will be investing more into this game, as in my opinion it's getting better. I'm still proud to have my full name and nick name in the credits.

For "real" (real as in money i work hard to earn) money... i've spent $0.00.

But i do have some "free" income that goes straight to my paypal account each month and that gets spent on this game. So far i've grabbed $100 of MC and am about to repeat that purchase as well as possibly grab the Thor clan pack. So that would bring me to about $300 spent. Ouch.

I dunno... i'm torn. I, at least, came into this game after the Phoenix pack mechs... so i didn't fight through the frustrating and disappointing grind so many others have.
In my experience the game has progressed & improved quite quickly and - if PGI is being honest - I'll have CW to enjoy within my first year.

To me... the costs are nearly justified, but only because i play with "free" money. If i had to use my family's food and health budget on this game... I'd be raging about the $30/mech prices. Probably even picket outside PGI's office, since they're only 2 hrs away.

Total of $110.

$60 Founder's. Best deal out of the bunch at the time.

$50 when PGI added JJ shaking--I was so sick of those easy-mode poptarting back in March 2013 that I gave PGI fifty dollars for adding JJ shake.

Freaking poptarts man...


Sadly, there hasn't been any other significant improvements over the game to warrant more investment. The LRM speed increase was a good move. I will buy more MC if PGI makes SRMs viable.

I have spent more than any number listed in this thread so far. I do know of one player who has spent more than me cor sure, but only the one. Beyond this statement I must plead the 5th so as to preserve harmony in my domestic space.

[C E Dwyer]

Far to much, for what we've got, I've shied away from spending a fraction of what I spent here, on games that are more complete better balanced, yet i've spent hundreds

Founders, full pheonix package all the hero mechs, afew chapion mechs when I felt lazy, and bays for every mech currently in game plus many cockpit items. 40 colours at least one camo for each chasis

A few days time my premium package runs out, which i've had well over six months of not including the pheonix time, and I've no plans on renewing, until there is a proper risk reward style of play, which currently with its sniper meta and turret riddled assault matchs dull.

when brawling is more than a fool errand then I might spend again

Averaged out since I started playing in closed beta, bout 20 to 25 a month.

.....That's two tickets to the movies..... 4hrs of entertainment that way.

MW:O I drop about.. wow 15hrs in a week. 60hrs in a month. hmm... I should be paying more. For me it has been totally worth it. Money I spend here would only have gone to random games I would play for a most a month.t

LOL, but we can't have a group queue because someone MAY level mastery or buy a new mech a few days early because of exploits.

Don't get me wrong, not bagging on you at all, just the thought that 14% get shafted for something someone MAY do, but it's cool to buy their way up.

I know, duh, but whatever

[Takashi Uchida]

15 bucks USD.

For mechbays

[Agent 0 Fortune]

Dangit, now I am mad this didn't go Kickstarter, for the money spent, someone would have had the opportunity meet Paul and kick him in the nuts shake his hand.

This thread does make me curious about the funding of this game. Obviously Packages are a big seller I am curious (and I am sure I will never find out) about how many Founders, Vs. Phoenix, Vs. Clan Vs. None of the Above but still bought MC players we have.

[M0rpHeu5]

21$ becouse one cannot do without mech bays.

[bryantjudoman]

I have spent about 75$ on mc mostly to get mech bays a few colours and a misery. I,m ok with spending a bit I enjoy the game.

[Tekadept]

Forget players, I'm more intrigued how much PGI/IGP has spent on this game. that will be truly englightening

[Clit Beastwood]

Around 900 bucks between my primary account, and "seed" money for a few friends and my wife to start playing. A bunch of friends and I also do mini competitions where we each throw down 10 bucks (after agreeing on a metric we're competing on) and the winner takes the pot. Would probably be more, but wasn't aware of the game at the beginning so I wasn't a founder For me, it's spent mostly on mechbays (so far 90 of them) and all the hero mechs, and paint and stuff - I allocate an amount monthly that I'm willing to spend on a game, and throw down money because I feel like supporting PGI.

With my expenditures in this game, my entertainment budget/month still averages out to be lower than going to the movies once a week and doing other entertainment related activities.

18.37 USD
That's 18 the number after 17 and before 19 single dollars.
Oh and some pocket change.

[hercules1981]

just bought my 3rd pack of mc for 30 bucks so im up to 90 total and i spend most of it on mech bays and the random xp coversion when i really hate some varitants of mechs i just want to basic and sell without wasting any time playing them. 3800 mc left from the 6500mc pack i just got im gonna probably get 12 mech bays next time i log in so i dont waste it on anything else.
