Howabout a unique camo spec for all purchased clan mechs. People who bought all three top tier clan packages should get more than a dinky badge.

Hell, I don't even own all three, but I sympathize with those who do. This "Unique loyalty reward" is at most, lackluster.

*Thanks Alistair, I can't math in the morning.

I'm trying to remember... take a look in your garage... don't you already have some free Mechs kicking around as a direct result of your previous Clan Mech purchases?

Free mechs that I can't sell, or put a different camo on, can't get a mechbay from, and have two of. Yeah. Free mechs that I used to level a chasis and have let sit since then. Yeah.

A dinky badge, and some Clan mechs early (some with C-Bill boosters).

I wouldn't worry about the badge too much.

Although, if you're more interested in showing off as a big baller in MWO (as opposed to having war machines) there was always the gold mechs .

They shouldn't get anything for supporting MWO's ridiculous pricing.

[Alistair Winter]

Wave 1 Masakari: $240
Wave 2 Man-O-War: $120
Wave 3 Gladiator: $120
Total: $480
MWO forum pixel badge: Priceless

[Wrathful Scythe]

It's unhealthy to expect more than you bought. Use the batch or don't but don't complain because the free stuff you got is not enough.

People these days...

I spent $30 on the Wave3...PGI needs to give me:

My own custom Camo.
My own unique title.
A chrome shiny mech...like those gold ones but chrome.
Custom quirks on my mech.
A new car.
Pay half my mortgage.
Give me a new gaming PC for free.
Pay my taxes for the 2016 year.
Buy my girlfriend a gold ring.
Pay for my wedding.
Give me bail bonds in case my brother gets in trouble again...but if he doesnt i should totally be able to convert them to MC

[TercieI]

Seriously, if you bought those packs, you bought them for what they were. Anything else you get is a bonus. Literally. Complaining about it is douchey and entitled.

I don't want to take anything away from your satire, but I'm really glad they didn't release the Gold Mechs as Chrome Mechs. Because I would have been really really tempted to buy a Chrome Adder. Which I'm very glad I didn't and couldn't. When they sold 'Gold Mechs', it made the choice really easy for me, since I am in fact not a pimp.

[Jazzbandit1313]

I understand all the "appreciate what you get for free" argument, but let me bring up a constantly beat to death point. 60$ is the average game. 480/60 = 8 games I could have bought with the same amount of money. These mech packs are overpriced as it is.

[MeiSooHaityu]

In all honesty, PGI probably could have made something to coincide with purchasing multiple packages to stroke the ego of people who spent $100s of dollars.

For some players showing off and bragging to other players is important. I'm not sure who they are impressing or who they think they are impressing, but if it is that important to certain players like the OP (and spurs continuous spending so people get get those flashy perks like a camo or something), then PGI might as well do it I suppose.

The mechs (especially early) and C-Bill boosters were what I was more concerned with, but then again, everyone is different *shrug*.

Chrome Adder would likely be pimp enough...

This.

Seriously, for gods sake people, it's fine to not like bonus rewards, but don't be entitled and douchey about it.

People who paid for those packs got exactly what they expected for their money, and more - they've already got... 6? free mechs as well - Atlas, King Crab, Centurion, Mad Dog x 3. Sure, this isn't a huge WOW AMAZING bonus reward, but something > nothing.

I see a screen printed T-shirt in your future...

I'll say again. $480 = 8 games

I still absolutely love Heffay's gold Adder. I mean, seriously, that's just hardcore right there. Not a gold timberwolf, direwolf, warhawk... not even a gold Stormcrow or Summoner... No.

It's a gold Adder.

It takes balls the size of cantelopes and a certain kind of crazy to do that.

So? What's your point?

You (being: those who bought those packs) got exactly what was advertised. Everything else is gravy.

If they feel they overpaid, that's on them - nothing was a surprise there.
