PGI please put a stop to the up coming C-Bill earning nerf.

Hero mechs are all on sale. Many will start earning a little more C-Bills.. So that can only mean another C-Bill nerf is coming right?

Well, you can probably expect them to raise MC prices of Champion mechs so that they are no longer better deals than the c-bill bundles.

Because of an increase in Hero sales, there must be a nerf to income...again. Or something like that. I doubt it will happen, but I guess we will see.

Why would earning slightly more C-bills mean a C-bill nerf is coming? Not everyone enjoys the luxury of a hero mech, so it would be especially insulting to players who don't own one.

There's no player-driven economy in MWO. Players do not exchange virtual goods or virtual currency among each-other, so there's no concern about inflation.

I don't feel that a 30% C-bill boost ever effects my MC spending habits, but that may just be me. Do you spend less MC because you're earning more C-bills? That's the only reason why I could see them nerfing our C-bill income.

At first I was worried about a C-bill nerf, but then find out that it was just wild speculation.

Damn it man, don't give me a heart attack!!

No worry for the speculation, a C-bill Nerf shouldn't be in the works. 3/3/3/3 has the potential to reduce the top possible earnings by a small number, the top possible earnings by The Player Elite being what spurned the last C-bill earnings nerf. Add in that PGI just released C-Bill For MC bundles and a C-Bill reduction would have the free playerbase crucifying them loud enough that it might make mainstream gaming news.

Upcoming CB nerf is private lobbies. That take it to zero. Can't nerf it more
(actually it is negative when using consumables but...)
