So people who bought $100 MC packs around the time of Phoenix didn't buy during major balancing issues? They knew what was going on with pgi internally? The people who bought MC right after founders in 2012 didn't buy with faith that the game would improve? The people who buy hero mechs get to try them before they buy them? People who buy and activate large chunks of premium time get to know that the game won't make big changes that they won't like.
No, that isn't the case. There is not much of a difference. And somebody that spent more money simply spent more money which is more support to pgi.
The people who bought MC around Phoenix were able to use their purchase right then and there. They were still able to just up and leave after their MC purchase after playing with their new shiny if they did not like what was going on. The people who bought the Phoenix pack could have walked away and called the loss of money a learning experience, as they had bought stuff sight unseen and unplayable. Back during the Founders days (hey look at that i got one of those fandangled tags) things were fun, things were progressing so any type of MC purchase at that point was worth it and still you got to see and use your purchase right then and there for instant gratification. Noticing a trend here?
Those that have bought MC are getting a reward `Mech, so I still fail to see just because it is not the `Mech you want why this an issue? There is nothing in the ToS stating that everybody will qualify for every reward ever and that there would even be rewards.

Your reply sadly confirms my thoughts, especially on the financial aspect of things. You also failed to acknowledge what I said about Is purists wanting a way to get the crab via an Is pack of some kind.
You also failed to comment on my charity based idea, which I did pm Russ about by the way. As for your posts, I actually have read very few of them and probably won't even bother to read any more due to the tone and underlying ugly attitude, especially the "poor me" comment this was especially disgusting and insensitive btw).
Sitting there on a high horse going "lalalala" whilst flicking us the finger is not appropriate behaviour in this case, coming up with a solution-like I tried to do is. "Deal with it" is only appropriate in very few circumstances in life, and this isn't one of them because it can be easily solved, by using compassion for your fellow man.
I did not comment on the Sara's Jenner point mainly because it was released once and a good portion of people bought it (myself included). Personally that one should be for sale all the time the same way they did it last time, have part of the proceeds go to the Canadian Cancer Society, the other reason I did not talk about that portion is for the very fact it is hard for me to do so. If you wish to pull your head out of your arse and PM me to find out why then I will explain other then that i am done talking about it.
Also nice to see you did not read a single word of the post i linked to kamiko kross, you are just putting your fingers in your ears and going la la la la which is exactly what you are accusing me of yet I have read every damn single post in these threads while you have not. Yes I do understand that people have financial responsibilities, guess what? So do the people who have bought the `Mech packs, so you are pissed off you will not get something due to circumstances. I stand by the "poor me" comment and your lack of comprehension of what I am saying is quite dumbfounding. There will always be something out there people are unable to attain, this is unfortunately life.
Now lets move on to the "deal with it is only appropriate in very few circumstances in life" portion. Really? Just really? life is about compromising and being able to pick and choose your path through it. Do I go to the movies and spend 50$ or do I just save that money for a rainy day? Does a person start drinking because of where they are in their life and spiral down or do they figure out why is wrong in their life and strive to change it? (and yes i know about the drinking portion...) So just because I have been able to turn my life around and start to get things sorted out, I sound like the one on the high horse mean while you and the others are going on about "oh what about us IS purists!!" So what about us "Clan purists" who had to suffer through two years of not having Clan `Mechs and having to run Inner Sphere ones? A lot of us have pretty big stables of Inner Sphere Chasis including (H) Hero `Mechs.
The main argument here that I see in all these threads is this:
I am not getting the King Crab because [insert from below] but now that I see there are rewards and the one I want I do not qualify for I want this whole process changed!
- I was unable to purchase one of the higher packages due to financial circumstances (and as I have been saying all along is a valid reason)
- I did not like the game back then
- I had no clue what MW:O was back then
- I am an Inner Sphere purist (and really unless you own the founders `Mechs also and all the Phoenix `Mechs, all the Hero `Mechs, you have no leg to stand on..)
