Why spend C-bills when you can see it all in the mechlab before buying?

Why would anyone waste 5,000,000-10,000,000 C-Bills to have a camo 30 days :)
You can buy any Singly use camo for 125MC? if you get cheapest MC (with the worst MC/$ value) pack 1250MC for ~7$ you get 10 of those Single use camos...
... not that expensive really.

SO spend c-bills to get the same benefit spending real money does?

Just under the thin guise of "testing" visual modifications that can be seen BETTER in the mechlab (camo) than in game before having to purchase them?

Nice try, but some of us were already born on Friday :)

If it were to be done AT ALL, the price for 1 day would have to be significantly higher than the earnings of 1 crappy match (standard camo) or 1 decent lose (premium camo)... Why should scrubs that play 1 crappy match a day be able to afford their camo in perpetuity, completely devaluing it as an MC item?

Where is the exclusivity that vanity items offer for real money when every Tom, ****, and harry with a mech can get the same camo for running out, getting melted by LRMS, and staring a whinethread about them?

And players that play well and more would never spend money on camo again, but simply refresh a 1 day trial every time they play.

Bottom line: If you want the same benefits as someone that spends MC, then spend MC.

Why would anyone buy camo when a big red box shows you mech from 1000m away :)

not eveyrone plays the game and spends money there are many people that play F2P strickly without buying anything and all this does is keep player interest by giving the free players something they can have just like other F2P games maby get them to buy some MC in the future
it like giving out free samples

Total madness to use that much of time (without heromechs,premium time) to grind that 5-10M CB to get camo...
Anyone who's not living in 3rd world country should be able to earn that 1$ way easier than grind this ^ amount of CB.

+ You aree Legendary Founder & Overlord I don't understand why are you driving forward this F2P thingy...

I disagree with the idea, but I think there should be say, 2 camos available for C-Bills, like there's 5 Colours available for C-Bills.

A Basic colour is 1,250,000 C-Bills, and different to default, but just... worse

SO:
Colours
Basic - 1,250,000 C-Bills
Standard - 500 MC
Premium - 1,000 MC

Camo
Unlock
Standard - 750 MC
Premium - 1,250 MC

One Shot
Standard - 75 MC
Premium - 125 MC

Cosmetics = 2,500 per MC.

Therefore, you could do this:
Camo
Unlock
Basic - 1,875,000 C-Bills

One Shot
Basic - 187,500 C-Bills

With 1-2 crappier camos, or convert the 1-2 least popular Standard Camos to Basic.
