I think I will join you guys, without the Gold ones, if they had a bunch of colour options like midnight black, ghost white, etc. I'd shell out the extra. Just realized my kiddo loves me playing "robots" so may as well invest in it. He does the missile spamming button while I shoot.

There is absolutely NOTHING that could happen that wouldn't have someone piss moan and whine in this game, there was a huge outcry for clan mechs, they are soon to be released and now there's a bunch of internet warriors going ballistic about fix this this and this, do what I say not what others say, I could run this company correctly! rabble rabble rabble.

End of the day I assume it's a bunch of burger flipping kids pissing and moaning about a freaking gold skin colour....how dare they support the game. Why is there no outcry over lime green, or camo patterns, I'm sure quite a few of those aren't "canon", hell Fractal has a pearl paint effect to it, no one flipped the F out over that.

That is true for just about any online game though - definitely all the ones I have been in anyways

Hmmm

I have spent over 2k on MWO, - Founder, Overlord & full Masakari packages and such mc purchases

I think I have the right to say WTF... being that I am 51 and extremely well Off - I can afford gold mechs

but they even insult me, as Ugly Predatory Marketing

Now if they offered Gold Statues I could put on my desk along with the purchase.....along with knowing they are actually spending the money on improving the game in logical ways: I might

I love 88% of what they do, and have put my money on the table

So now what can you say ?

It's not the fact that it's a skin that took a few hours to make (and honestly, I think you're over selling the PGI art dept if you think they only made it in a few hours), its the fact that the marketing department thinks this is continually okay to do.
Right, I get it F2P has to pine for the "whales" to make the majority of their money.
But how is it at all a value when a skin costs 500$? (and remember, when this originally came out, there was no Masakari package included, it was just the Gold mech. AFTER there was outcry, they included the Masakari Package)

Many of us love this franchise, and don't want to see PGI fail. Nor do we just want to sit around and complain, whine, and ***** everytime something doesn't go our way.
But it's become somewhat of an abusive relationship where PGI has repeatedly told us they love us, and they're going to totally take us to a nice restaurant next time, and they drop us off at McDonalds.

Do I believe they're intentionally trying to screw us? Not at all. I think it's a mixture of biting off more than they could chew, a small team with people not quite to the level they need to be at to be operating with their responsibilities, and IGP's horrible marketing team.

And as far as their focus, yes, I believe that the horse is being put before the cart when it comes to the priorities they have everyone working on.

The clan mechs are the all hands on deck project right now. They have a month to create them, test them, and get them to the purchasers. And as of last week, Niko Snow provided info stating that they haven't even started testing the mechs, much less have any idea what the warhorns or bonus modules are actually going to do, much less put those in the game either.

And yet, the matchmaker continues to fall apart, old issues get swept under the rug, and people who continue to push for a better frame work for the game, and not just more mechs, are told they're whining.

Got it.

You're a huge hypocrite and buying products in a game you bash...

It's like me telling someone "Don't buy a Ford, they are garbage and terrible, they don't know what they are doing, fall apart. You should buy a Dodge!"

So they go buy a Charger after all my bashing, then I buy a Mustang right after that and say how much I love the Mustang and wish more people would buy them so Ford can keep making them.

If you don't think someone seeing that image isn't going "gee maybe I shouldn't bother with this game" you're out to left field.

If you spent 2k on the game I'd personally like them to give you a special token/reward but then a good majority of people here would flip out over that.

Hypocrite? Well that says what class act your are

let me edit this >

I have stopped spending money, but since January this year that was my total spending on MWO

I will remain in my opinion that > they can do better, gold mechs are not "imho" the answer

47. Made a promise that I would for private matches and they delivered.

This game needs a lot of work and I am not sure it will ever acheive the greatness it could... but it is what it is and I remain skeptical but interested in its future.

Skeptical is fine - it is the pessimists that I try to convert or drive out.

World is depressing enough as it is, thankyouverymuch.

On that note - anyone who can afford it, if they want to throw a gold mech my way, I wouldn't say no.
Rather out of my budget, but I am curious about how serious those who have promised to TK any golds they see are.

You're logic is flawed.

I am so glad i am not playing this game anymore

Saw a banner somewhere advertising the clan mechs so thought i'd have a looksie. Saw the prices and fell off my chair laughing.

I hope you do a good job MWO community - If the people whom actually buy these are not harassed and flamed to the point where they quit within a few months i will be sad.
