"If only I could do it all over again"

I'm sure many of us would love to be able to go back in time to not buy this or buy that. I would pay a solid $20 bucks to go back in time.
1. I would have bought the Premium Founders pack
2. I wouldn't have sold X mech
3. I wouldn't have bought X mech
4. I wouldn't have bought X part, module, paint, etc
5. I would have bought X part, module, paint, etc
The list can go on

My point is that I think MWO can make some money by having players who opt for such an option to reallocate MC and cBills. The only part where this may not work is if you had bought something on sale.

And grind out my commandos again? Hell no.

No loss of experience or redeemed items. Maybe just something where u could scan all your past purchases/sales and make a yes or no decission. Plus the option (if able) to upgrade any of the past mech packs that you purchased.

You had your chance at legendary founder. You didn't take it, whatever the reason.

It's okay, I'm in the same boat. I missed out on it as well, though I don't actually regret not buying any of the founder packs now that I can take a look back and see where most of the money I'd have spent would have gone.

Exactly or u sold the wrong mech, or bought the wrong engine, the list goes on.

regret is for the weak. The wise learn from the past not wish to change it.

[Nathan Foxbane]

Mistakes are to be learned from, not erased. I have done a few things I am not happy about, but I learned from them and moved on.

[Slater01]

Its not a gripe. In other games your allowed to rebuild your character(s), and sometimes you will have to pay for that luxury. I'm just wondering if others in MWO would pay to change some of the choices they've made. Would you?

[MoonUnitBeta]

Not quite sure why I would use this. Now that we can buy c-bills with money, it's almost not worth it unless you sold something that was worth MC like a Champion mech or something. But the "go-back-in-time" cost has to be less than the cost of that new champion mech.

Also, things bought should be final sale. You can't go back in time on those. (such as, i'm done using these 10 modules now, I'll think I'll go back and "unbuy" them... (or basically, sell them for and get full c-bills back).

But again.Totally depends on the cost of the service, and what the player is wanting to do. It could be a worse feature that ends up costing people more than it would if they had just bought c-bills and rebought everything.


I think a more useful feature would be a "buy-back" option. Items you sell are kept in this area for 3 days, and you can buy them back at price that you sold them for. Just in case you get into a C-bill pinch. It'll let you sell off unimportant items, acquire the c-bills you need to get back on track, and then buy them back again when you earn the c-bills to do so.
Kind of like a loan, but they hold onto your items
A buy-back feature doesn't require customer service to monitor. It doesn't break anything. It opens up an avenue for you to try new things. (like selling two mechs, buying one, and trying it out. Don't like it then sell it that mech and re-buy all your old stuff again.)

I wouldn't pay to reset anything.

Thankfully I did everything right the first time... by throwing money at the problem. I HAS ALL THE PACKAGES!

I would have never bought founders or my Ilya, or spent any money on this game.

[LT. HARDCASE]

I only wish I'd been around to buy the Founders and Phoenix packages. I regret nothing else.

[Ted Wayz]

Reset, no way.

I couldn't reach my wallet fast enough to pay to spilt my account.

[LORD ORION]

I would

The number of things I've bought and sold and re-bought because of changes and boredom.

Grind is too high and I get bored, so I sell stuff and try new things, and make no asset progress.

[LordKnightFandragon]

Id pay to get my Non Clan mech stats wiped off my acct.

[CrushLibs]

If I could go back after I have spent 1.1 billion C-bills and tell PGI to restructure the buying and selling of endo steel and other items. I spent millions and millions playing with endo and FF before smurfy was avail or known about trying different designs.

It is nice having nearly one of each XL engine.

[Xetelian]

I'd just like to reset some thing
I don't know about this upgrading past packs but more money for them hopefully more development for us
