As a Founder, I say, "No".

The Founders program is over. Every Founder has been compensated for his or her original donation. To expect more is self-righteous chest-pounding. We are not special because we opened our wallets first.

Good ideas concerning the game, however, should be considered regardless of Founder status.

Considering that, in the long run, what we got was much less than what other packs have gotten. I'd say we deserve a tiny bit extra...

Especially considering all the jerking around we experienced. the removal of founder exclusive colors in the mechlab [thus almost rendering the "Unique Skin's" part of founders pointless.] And how long it took them before the whole "name in the credits" bit ever actually happened...

Yeah, I think a little something extra is in order.

PGI never cared about its Founders or anyone else who supports them. You can tell by the way PGI treats them. Founder's mechs get the lowest exp and c-bill bonuses of any Hero/Champion Packaged mechs. PGI has told the Founders that they are not their target audience. None of the Founder mechs are the best mechs in their weight class. PGI told the Founders who supported them lie after lie after lie and then wondered why they left.

Phoenix mechs are mostly garbage. Again, not the best mechs in their weight class. Loyalty points arent even coded into the game just yet. I havent even chosen my medallions, there is no reason to at the moment. The Phoenix Package and Saber Reinforcements were so bad, I didnt even want to buy the Clan package. How much crap do you think people will spring for before they just stop buying?

I dont expect PGI to do anything for Founders. Dont expect someone who treats you bad to start treating you well one day.

No. Having Closed Beta Access, MC worth more than the price of Founders package themselves, and a Founder mech are more than enough.

Asking for more is just being greedy. It'll just alienate the non-Founder players and cause unnecessary misdirected envy.

I, and many others, were included in closed beta without having to buy founders... in fact I bought my founders pack on the last day of closed beta... so... yeah.

I say founders get early and immediate access to Community Warfare.

I wanted this Mechwarrior game to be the Mechwarrior 5 we saw in 2009 - a SINGLE PLAYER game. A game where I not only blow up robots and manage parts and upgrades, but feel a part of an expansive universe, grow to appreciate the NPCs in the game and their personalities, and become engrossed in interesting mission concepts that haven't been seen before in the Battletech series of games. Community Warfare would be the best I could get.

We were promised CW at launch, to no avail.
We were re-promised it to arrive before the Clan Mechs did. CW is still on paper and has shown no signs of progress over the past year, just more endless match-maker updates and weapons tweaks.

I want what were some of the big selling points for me: Community warfare, role-warfare, drop ship mode. Sure, I would like my Founder mech to have a bonus equal to others but, I want the things I expected to have by now.

Come on founders. Remember R&R and knock downs. Stuff that was delivered early closed beta access till open beta. Stuff that made the game mature and a simulated experience. Jesus i miss the earlier versions of this game.

Yeah I remember knock downs. I also remember the horror that was R&R, when firing LRMs was like throwing gold bricks at your enemies.

In any event, I agree with the OP, and so should all of you!

[Mycrus]

There should be more tie - in goodies...

Not just a medal or a coffee mug

[GreyGriffin]

R&R was not a golden age of reason. It was a disaster that punished half the player base with a perpetual cycle of decline.

As a founder, I would sure appreciate some more recognition. I'd appreciate the original paint job back on my 'Mechs. But I'd sure appreciate a game with a more whole experience than MWO has right now first.

if only they would give us back knockdowns... with privet lobbies we could make dragon bowling a true sport!

Some thoughts to bring the game in to a "true" free to play title and give founders something very small.

1st setup a mech XP to mc exchange rate personally I think about 10,000 mech XP to one MC.

2nd the founder mech were to have a bonus that was never going to be given again (oops hero mechs get and better too) So I say give the founders mech One MC on a win.

I think Founders should get the loyalty bonus on their Founders mechs for this reason.

If you are a Founder and actually still play this game after all that has been said and done, then you are the most loyal fans PGI are ever likely to have.

Everything else that was listed, we got.

Can we at least get rainbow ppcs so I can kill people in the most flamboyant way possible?

And Unicorns?

[Zervziel]

Sure, a weapon that fires unicorns works too.

[JeepStuff]

No additional stuff for Founders. That transaction was complete a long, LONG time ago.

[Jess Hazen]

I would say the the majority of founders got screwed over and fleeced out of their hard earned coin when half that money went to funding other projects behind their backs.

Really? I paid for the advertised design pillers... when did we get those?

EDIT: before you armchair lawyer me about what the product was read the "reasonably expected service" sections of Canadas consumer rights statutes vis a vis advertising of services as opposed to provision of services. TLDR? You're getting what you paid for and my getting what I paid for are not the same thing...
