You say it NEEDS to. Where is your proof? or is this just supposition and assumption on you rpart? You need to give me evidence before I take you seriously.
firstly i don't care if you take me seriously or not your just a troll that should have his fingers glued together and if you were my son/daughter.... well lets just say i might get old school on you.
and secondly i paid to have a voice like how citizens originally got the vote in the US. (you had to be a land owner or own some kind of property to qualify to vote). so i would say.... my opinion carries weight because
ive literally put my money where my mouth is. can you say the same? or am i the one buying YOU a free lunch? are you a freeloader just shooting off your mouth?
and proof? go look at WOW LOL DOTA steam for cryin out loud. you hear about these games that sell for a DOLLAR making their creators filthy stinking rich OVERNIGHT.
its just basic economics. its like a poker game when the pay-in to get into a game is astronomically high you get very few takers when the pay-in is $20+free beer/drinks when you buy more chips you get an economic boom for that little bar.
or like $5 for cheap beer all night. you might have a couple but then you want a real drink since the alcohol has worked its way to your brain and thus impaired your judgement a bit. When your wallet is loose they profit now that your more willing to bring that wallet out.
but really prophet were you born to filthy rich parents and never had to work a day in your life? or did your daddy abandon you to some unfit mother? do you work at all? did your "daddy" buy you everything? i have had to work for everything ive ever owned or bought and i don't think you have learned the value of the dollar. im sry if you didn't have proper parents or they weren't "there" for you but that has nothing to do with YOUR choices or attitude in life.
is your only goal in life to troll others? because if you did "have" money and like you know cars, a truck something you know like a gf/wife and
personal success you would prioritize your efforts a little better and you wouldn't find the need to inflate your own ego at the expense of others.
see that alone tells me you don't have personal success, because people that are personally successful are also publicly successful. This is because we make our own happiness. we make our own success. but your attitude shows that you desperately needs OTHERS approval and when they dont give you you simply write them off. this is narcissism and YOU are the only one that either feeds it or starves it.
and your attitude tells me that you don't take that time or effort to GO and find the things you really want, you don't have the discipline to GO and find a good job or to spend time with a beautiful women without staring at her **** (**** are nice tho cant complain
). and it shows, personal failure cannot be kept from pouring over into your public life.
same reason i take the time to explain things for people like you. even if YOU dont read this, others will and maybe they will learn something, maybe they will understand this concept of personal success before public, because public success WILL follow if you have personal success (which is the will and discipline to set and accomplish the goals you have set for your life)
and in a way i have "hijacked" your trollism. matters not if you change or understand or even read what i say. only that you have helped to provide me the platform to spread knowledge and understanding.
I say this because you seem uniquely detached from reality and thats fine if you "want" to live in a little bubble that only includes you. but sadly it leaves me worried (for your sake) and i hope your friends and family in RL help you out of the narcissistic trap upon which you have befallen.

Finally a Whale that "gets it".
Others, like Stoned Prophet just naturally assume that the prices they are willing to pay are all PGI needs, but you nailed it on the head. If they want long term success PGI has to appeal to a broader base of customers willing to spend money.
The amount that they are asking, for a NICHE game (so WoT comparisons...fuggedabout it) is not a Pay-wall, but a Price-wall that will affect the long-term survivability of the MWO franchise.
i wouldn't say "finally" ive meet many like me. in fact most of the large spenders i meet understand this need for cheap mechs and crap just littered everywhere to entice new players. sadly it does seem there is a significant amount of misinformed forum-goers that think that only the big spenders keep this game moving.
I just hope PGI doesnt fall for the same trap and learns from others success, again they just need to look at LOL or WOW or any other wildly successful mmo.
