Is there a list of loyalty point rewards?
Tried searching, but only found this one.

A quick google search of "cw loyalty items" and the second link got me a post on this forum with the following link at the end.
Lots of free mechbays there, plus the ones you can win on weekend events. There is actually no need to have mechbays for c-bills unless you really don't want to play CW nor participate in the events.

Allowing mechbay's to be purchased with c-bills cut's their profit. No-profit means no game so, MAN UP AND BUY YOUR MECH BAYS.
While I don't disagree, you have to make the game somewhat playable by non-paying members, as players are a large portion of the content in this game (since it's PvP). Mechbays are cheap, so they're tempting, and if you make the grind to get them difficult, you may encourage folks to purchase them, but some folks simply can't spare any money, yet like to play and add to the game simply by being a part of it.

No, it just means you prioritize different things abut where than $1 goes. Parcilarly when it requires at least $7-$15 to get anything (entry point into MC)

I think the grind for F2P people should eventually get them to the same place as payers, but it should just take an awfully long time, enough time to find and ban people trying to cheat the system, and also enough time to make the F2Pers content for the other players.
That's the thing about MMOs; other players are the content, especially with how minimalist MWO is.
They're helping produce content for the people who pay, should get at least some recompense, in the long, long, long term, yeah?
By holding out a lengthy carrot on an even longer stick, F2Pers who are "too cheap" to spend an hour working to buy all the MC their hearts desires, are going to be producing content for everyone else in the game by queuing up for fights.
My answer to poll is yes, and the question is, how will it be implemented? A cooldown of 24 hours when trying to swap a mech out, as mechbays bought with c-bills are "limited' compared to ones bought with MC? How much c-bill would it require to buy one? 15 mil? Enough for a few medium mechs? That'd take a while for non premium time grinding. That provides content (other mechs to pew) for people who actually buy MC, thus maintaining their interest.

Really... cant understand those "complains" or suggestions. I own more than 50 mechs, rarely invested real money to buy a mechbay and still have lots of empty bays left.

Oh... and dont forget the 50 Mech bays for playing in CW.
But yes... PGI should really think about giving out free mech bays... they never have before have they?

But mech bays should cost money, and they ARE cheap. If you're frugal (not cheap, frugal) like me, you buy MC when it's on sale, then buy mechbays and premium time when they're on sale. It's not that big a deal.
If you like a game enough to buy more than 4 mechs, maybe you should pony up. But if you can't, those who HAVE should have the option of buying some mech bay redemption codes for the HAVE NOTS.

So what are you trying to say? They should work for them or they should not work for them?
Quite a few of the events involved getting 30 points in a regular match or 80 points in CW.... not really particularily dificult as you can get the points with only 3 or 4 assists per mech and half way decent damage (anything over 250 damage per mech).
Plus... the 50 Mechbays in CW are not an event... they just need you to be persistent and play the game.

and ive been playing since september last year when i got my new rig. personnaly i dont find that too bad. i mean from 4 to 22 in less than a year, for free, is pretty good when u think of other games that dont do that.
World of tanks for example. although i think in that u can buy a few tank slots for Silver before it turns to Gold. which to be fair would be a good idea for this game. your first 3-4 mechbays for increasingly higher CBILLs (5m-10m-15m-20m would be my scaling) then switch to MC.

- Champion & Hero Mechs should have 300 MC added to their price and come with a Mechbay, heck you need to buy a Bay anyhow to get one of these, so just add the Bay and 300 MC to the cost. Same happens if you buy a regular Mech with MC.
- Possibly give a certain number of bonus free Bays for even spending money on the game. A number of other games that allow multiple characters/toons/whatever do this, the first $5-$10 you spend gets you some bonus slots.

The problem with CW being the way to get free bays is simply how anti newb it is. Ppl don't want to feel like they have to get mauled in CW to grind out some mech bays.
If there were an option to make a limited number of mechbays purchasable with Cbills, I'd vote for that. But making them available for Cbills in general isn't realistic.

Not to mention that PGI already gives us tons of them for free. I've gained maybe 20 without spending any MC.
AT BEST: 2 mechbays for C-Bills, and that's it.
