I do not like the direction PGI is going in with the release of special variants in the gift store for real dollars only. They are hugely expensive and represent a power creep I disagree with. At least with the packs we get tons of extras and discounts to encourage us to purchase early.
I for one will be voting with me wallet. I encourage everyone to not support gift store mechs if they want to see this sort of silliness stop. PGI will only continue to do it if it is profitable to do so.

I do not see this power creep folks keep talking about.
The Mechs are all performing OK at best.

Whats interesting to me is teh one Mech I got for my Loyalty, Is my favorite. My Atlas-S was a gimme. I would have bought it, but PGI gave it to me for stuff I did in the past. Funny thing, since then I have bought:
The full Resistance Pack(So I could have the King Crab and Zeus)
Misery (So I could have Roughhouse)
Protector(Leonidas Wolf)
Battlemaster-3M (Wild Knight)
Dire Wolf-B (Stone Rhino Make-do)
Griffin-1S (C)
Banshee-LM
The last 2 are something that any blue blooded Lyran should have. And so I could have the Wild Boys in my Mechbays.

Okay. Arent you one of the guys usually championing the "dont like it dont buy it" mantra? I mean, sure, Im not buying em either. But people will, and arent you also one of those who usually champion the "cant hate on a business for offering services even if you dont want em"? I mean, op ed piece? Okay, thanks? Who are you trying to convince? You know as well as I the ONLY thing that will make PGI change a paid for offering is the wallet votes.
Not trying to be a jerk, it just seems so... Unnecessary?
