Also, 100 bucks gets you 24000 mc. A smart person who was too impatient to simply buy them with cbills, would spend 56.90$ and buy 12000 mc plus 1250 more, unless he actually needed that extra 12000 mc for something. SO ....trying to bury reality under exaggeration?
the reality is, for 36$ you can buy the most expensive "exclusive" mech in the game, and since none of those exclusives actually win the internet, they are a luxury, not a necessity.
Everything in the game is a luxury due to the fact it is F2P. This doesn't give it some impenetrable blanket shield that protects it from all criticism on pricing. You may not have to pay anything, but when you do, why shouldn't you get your money's worth? Why is it reasonable to pay nearly $60 for 3 mechs when one could get a whole new game instead? And since it is only a purchase of impatience, doesn't that degrade its value even less if it is standard stuff in a faster time; nothing special?
