Chill out guys, this is not p2w. You still need to build and pilot your mechs, money won't help you here.
It's faster, and some people might find this useful.

My expectation is that pay to win will creep into CW, and this is laying the foundation for the mechanism. That fact that PGI screwed up that mechanism by making it less efficient than selling mechs paid for with MC is no surprise. In their defense, the typical player is unlikely to do the math anyhow.

Champ Jenners are actually better to sell then the Atlas, and beat out the price of the highest Cbills package.

Clearly not a pay to win game as other than hero mechs which are not better than standard (and in some case worse than) normal mechs.

All weapons and standard mechs can be bought with C bills

If someone wants to spend MC on C-bills to save some time, power to you

Dear Nicolai!

If you really want, that nobody say "P2W", just offer a "4.000 MC for 6,5 Mill C-Bill" package too! I understand, that you and some other players had not enought time to play, but want a bit more C-Bills. But, what is with those players, who have bit more time, but no money to buy MC?

Perhaps, I am the only player here, but.... those 100$ (what I spent to buy MC), was really all I had (for THE WHOLE year!). It is not, that I don't want to buy some colors/camos/Premium Time, but I can't... What I can, is play a bit more (as long as, I find somehow enough money for the internet-provider.)

So, just make those MC/C-Bills package two-directional, and then nobody w/could ever say, that "MWO is P2W"!

You only sell the atlas for half that so its actuall 1250cbills per mc.

Or buy the Champion Cicada and sell it for >3400 c-bills per MC. Did PGI just fail to do any math here or are they hoping this is another noob tax like DHS?

Isn't directly selling in game currency normally one of the last money grabs before closing F2P games?

It's actually often one of the FIRST moneygrabs any f2p-game provider resorts to.
