This may (probably has) been posted before, but I thought it was RIGHT on the money, as a customer.

Thoughts?

I posted this one in like three or four different topics about F2P/P2W... xD

the latest one actually adresses another problem, not directly linked to the f2p model, but something that arises from constant addition of new content. "Power Creep"
I gotta admit, I've never heard that term before, but if nothing else it is at least interessting!

Makes me think MWO is going in the right direction.

Ah, hah, that's where I saw it. (I knew I saw before, much earlier.) Regardless, I posted it (again) not just to raise awareness, but to discuss.

For me, I don't know if MWO will hand MC (the premium currency) out for regular play, even at a VERY slow rate. I just don't see any American companies going that route, it's almost exclusively a Korean system (as the video mentions).

Do you think this would be a good thing for MWO, a bad thing, or make little difference?

Have any "MC only" items/boosts/equipment/mechs/etc been confirmed? I don't recall any. If you can buy anything with C-bills that you can buy with MC, the difference is probably just for bookkeeping.
