In the Town Hall meeting Russ asked for examples from competing F2P games about pricing. Stating that they would examine pricing and re-evaluate based on the competition.

So I'll add one concrete example in the form of Tribes Ascend:

You are able to purchase all game content in one swoop for 30$, PGI should consider a ALL-IN-ONE package allowing a one time buy in at a significant discount.

Sure, at the low low price of $999. Includes all mechs and the Golden skin! A killer bargain!

Sad thing is, I can see many people actually buying it, thus validating PGI's pricing scheme.

The pricing scheme is actually not that bad compared to other F2P games, they do however lack low end content. An all In package for colors or camo though would be a good idea. Mech wise, I think the packs they sell are a good start, thought a slightly better discount on those would be nice.
