I don't get that "PGI is desperate" vibe. I mean, should they not have real money item sales?

We just came off a slew of several weeks, where all of the (faction) sales were only on cbill mechs. Where is the desperation in that?

Yes of course they should. It's just my impression that there are more sales than there used to be. And by that I mean not 2 weeks ago but one year ago.

Either way, gents, $100USD dollars means a shadowhawk mastery bundle, T-Bolt and F-Starter Champs, plus mech bays and then some

On top of that $100USD of MC goes a long way too.

I have to agree a little here with what others have said. Just Shadowhawks don't seem like that much of a draw. I realize it's probably harder to structure a "pick one from a list" sale, but my guess is it would be much more widely appealing if you did. Just a tip for the future...

I think you misread things. To get Shadowhawks, T-bolt and F-starters, you need to spend $180. Getting top tier does not also get you lower tiers.

You only get the bonus of that tier, not for any of the lower ones.

"How dare PGI give out items that I personally don't want!"

Some of you really will complain about anything. You sound like spoiled children.

Really nice for newer players, and the free mech bay makes the bottom tier MC package much more appealing. I could use some more space.

Meh. Oh well. Spending $100 then is not fun...
so.
just.
meh.

[Greenjulius]

That's a lot of free mechbays and mechs, not to mention premium time and random goodies if you go full $100.

Really great deals if you are a new player and want to go with an IS faction.

[HlynkaCG]

Sadly my "fun" money for this month is already spoken for.

ETA:
Reading the first page of comments and just rolling my eyes, as if we needed further proof that people will complain about anything.

I wish they'd make it a totem of sorts... but if people wanna spend a set amount of MC and still get it, fine by me
Also to quote the totem idea, that means if you spend $200, you can get 2 of everything, you know?

Maybe it would be something to give a mastery pack of choice?

This.

The free mech bay definitely is good. It works out to +24% MC basically, so it's better than the Black Friday sales (except with straight MC you can wait for a 50% off Mech bays sale...)

[ExoForce]

Yes, but to me it looks like the resistance pack is still a better deal.

Now, give me a 25% discount on Clan reinforcement and we can negotiate...

Not a bad deal at all... Just brought the 12k at timezone GMT +1 just before 22:00 without even knowing about this announcement

Not sure if you bought it before or after the special went into effect, but if it was before, PGI has been know to give you the special if you contact Support.

[Enaris]

C'mon guys, it's marketing 101. First off, not every sale needs to apply to every last person. I'm a bit up in the air on it, if it turns out to be my thing, I'll buy, if not, I'll wait.

Second, just because they're having sales doesn't mean "PGI is flushing." It's simply standard for this kind of game. You go to WoT, LOTRO or Marvel Heroes etc, they all have one form or another of sales up on a constant basis.

[Deathlike]

PGI has taught me to be a miser. I exclusively wait for 50% off sales because I can wait.

So, it's hard to appreciate the value when it's not attractive at the moment.

Considering everything, I'm not in the mood to support this move at all.

I fear PGI is in desperate need of some cash. At least that is the impression I got from all these sales lately. But then again every Marketing book tells youthat that once you've started to grant some discounts it is hard to take that level back.

lol, everytime they have a sale someone says this

get in line buddy!

Another +1
Man I hope I don't have to grant so many of these +1 things

Are you sure PGI taught you that?

Clan incentives? Clan Mastery packs?
