This just cheapens the Hero Mechs.
It especially cheapens the Founders Mechs, which still have the same bonuses, but have locked paint schemes and only marginal aesthetic changes for the Hunchback and Jenner.
When we were told that the founders were going to have advantages that we'd never see again, I was expecting that to mean that no other mechs would be getting C-bill or EXP bonuses quite as high as them, not that we'd be questioning whether it was worth it as every other mech purchased with MC is now on par or better than.
No, I'm not talking about "Pay to win", I'm talking about "Pay to grind less". I think that if the Champ mechs are getting bumped up for XP earnings, the Founders and Hero mechs should get a proportionately large bump in C-bill and XP earning mods.
Only Champion mechs give an XP boost, now they give a slightly better XP boost. Most folks wouldn't ever think of buying one flat out anyway for the old 10% bonus. Heroes and Founders get a CBill bonus, which is generally most useful for 90% of all players (remember, the bonus XP doesn't count on the trial mechs anyway).
