Go vote, then, since I know you want to do it anyway, come here and flame on!

[Akaraut]

I'll be interested to see how many people vote, at the time of this post we're already at 252 and it's really close, 49% yes, 51% no.

[Flutterguy]

Of course. For the phoenix to be reborn it must first be immolated in flames.

[Templar Dane]

Just about to add my vote. A few days ago I didn't care one way or the other, now I'm voting "no" for spite.

[CDLord HHGD]

Here's an idea for PGI, stop advertising your packs as limited time offers.... IMO, early bird bonuses are great. After 6 months, they all go away, but the pack is available indefinitely.

That would be a better solution, as long as the early bird bonus stuff was more than mere pixels (how many dropship statues do YOU own, MWO?), though it doesn't really address my larger concerns.

[AlexEss]

Voted yes because i honestly feel it does not impact me in the slightest if more people can buy the pack. It was a nice pack and i want to give more people the chance to own it.

[1453 R]

Yes vote fired. If people want to buy a 2+ year old pack, who'm I to tell them they can't?

[Vandul]

I have to admit, I was like

On this vote.

I do not really see why it makes such a big difference. The Phoeniz mechs are all available for CBs now, so what does it matter if people can buy them in a package? The (P) variant? The cosmetic differences are minor at best. I suppose the forum badges are potentially an "ego" issue, but if bragging rights are the case, allow all the mechs to be purchased as a package with the special vartiants, but leave out the forum designation, etc.

I bought them for the ability to use them before they were available for CBs (and to avoid the grind of buying them all with CBs).

50 / 50.

Interesting.

[Alex Morgaine]

TBF it was during the IGP years, back then mech packs were looking to be defined more like one time deals with single mech releases in the interim.

[AnimosityMonk]

I for one would want a chance to buy the Founders mechs if PGI decided to resell the Phoenix mechs. I would love the chance to have the Founders bagdes.

Fair is fair right.

[Alistair Winter]

I voted yes. I'd be really interested in seeing what different people on the forum are posting.

Also: rabble, rabble, rabble.

Sure why not. Oh wait you thought I was going to say no so you can use that as ammo? Guess that backfired didn't it?

[Alex Morgaine]

120 bucks for 4 mechs? Eh, people said stuff about gold mechs, guess it wouldn't really be an issue, and it would support the game in the long run.

No, I would really like to have the Founders mechs and badges. Please contact PGI and tell them how you feel.

It was $180 for 18 mechs.

[RavenKnight86]

I personally voted no.

At the time it was offered as a one time only never available again to get these Mechs with Loyalty boosts for a system that wasn't even in place now. I bought them for the exclusivity and show my support for MWO and PGI when every other day there was a thread about how this game would be dead in (a week, month, 3 months, 6 months, take your pick).

Now people who either weren't here or decided not to buy want the same pack. Want an easy solution? Repackage it as a Phoenix Resistance pack. Give the same mechs put give it an ® modifier and without the loyalty bonuses. Hell even give them new badges. However my content was sold to me under the impression I could never get it again, thus why I got it.

Oh I was talking about the founders pack.

Tbf 18@ $180 is 10 bucks each, that is a good deal even without extras.

[Nightmare1]

I voted no. It's false advertising if PGI re-releases the pack, and a betrayal of the loyal fans who bought it.
