The entitlement just boggles my mind.

Here's a thought: Last few packs they did give out some snazzy goodies with it (i.e. The MDD for having waves one and two i believe). People complained about some of those, people continually are complaining about game modes, slow progress, whatever.
a) Maybe all the complaining makes them awfully less inclined to give out free stuff now.
and
b ) Maybe they are using the hours that would have been used to do custom paintjobs, unique cockpit items, etc to make the improvements you've been complaining about!

Seriously, if you walked into my store with that attitude, expecting more than you pay for, complaining to high hell, i'd throw you out on your ass.

So I've spent around $2,500 on the game, we didn't get just a badge but many free mechs and all the clan loyalty 5% medalians, on top of all the free stuff in the events.

Really cry about more important things please.

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.

Then stop spending ******* money.

If you're so discontent with PGI just ******* stop. Ask for a refund or just move on and leave. Arguing and throwing a tantrum like a petulant child gets you nowhere.

Jesus ******* christ.

This is funny but even I know the word you are looking for is "greed". Learn your english better, and keep trying trying you will get it eventually.

So now that the move to try change the english language is delt with maybe ask yourself if these forums are for communication and if players wishing to sweaten the Wave III deal are legit or being greedy.

Is Wave III a good deal is the question. Are the Perks good enough? Thats a classy forum badge but it isnt in game so.... not really an awsome perk.

So Jazz, you bought those Mech Packs knowing what you were getting and being happy with the purchase at the time.

NOW you want something extra for what you purchased.

Tell ya what kid, go to the store, see how far it gets you when you tell them you just dropped 20 and you want FREE stuff so they can show their appreciation for you spending money there.

Tell us how well that goes.

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.

And who's fault is it that you just let that mech sit there?

Yours. I utilize my loyalty mechs, ALL of them, atleast once a play session. You have 2 different King Crabs, outfit them differently, 2 different AS7-S? Outfit them with different equipment and they will play differently.

It is your fault you're not utilizing these gifts. Cry harder about being given a gift. you remind me of the little kid who cries because they got a Nexus 7 instead of an Ipad.

[Moldur]

It's not an incentive for anyone other than almost-owners. It's not meant to make people buy $480 dollars of mechs right here and now.

It's a throw in if you already have the packs basically. What did you expect? A free BJ?

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

Normally I would go "quit moaning about free stuff" but in this instance I have to agree that this is really under-whelming as it's clearly aimed at chipping in extra sales before the 21st. When the cheapest investment is still a considerable chunk of change I would expect something "more", even if it's likely aimed at people who've already got two-thirds of the set. I wouldn't expect a whole lot extra, but I would certainly expect something to be there.

You guys realize wearing the badge gives you a 5% loyalty point bonus right?

Hes right there is loyalty medallions for all Clan factions included with the forum badge. I didnt know that, oops.

Have to add pictures or us guys that have taken one to many hits to the cockpit cant figure it out.

If they are overpriced, as you claim, why have you bought 8?

[Tsuki Ookami vas Mugunghwa]

well, you could also argument that a... more generous... incentive could persuade those that currently only own 2 out of 3 packs.

if any getting all 3 packs until juli would get... let's see... *browsing TRO's like a madman* would get a Turkina (or even more amazing: 3 Turkina variants) then i bet the sales on all clan packs would skyrocket.

Haggling for a good price isnt entitlement. Its haggling. Carefull you sound like one of those people that think everyone else should have nothing.

I am not sure where you are from, but here, when you haggle on the price of something you do it BEFORE you pay for it, NOT some TWO YEARS after.

He underestimated the sense of entitlement.

That is not "entirely" accurate. He seems to be spending more of his time "blocking" the entitlement over on Twitter these days.

It's not that they are giving stuff for it, it's the way they've flogged it.

Hey you guys who haven't bought all 3 mech packs! You have X time to spend $480 to get a badge and a 5% loyaty booster.

Ummm... thanks....

LOL! And how would you word a FREE give away then? LOL! OMG! Now they worded the FREE stuff wrong.

Would a PM to just those who are eligible (own 2 packs already) be more to your tastes perhaps?

wowzers...

Proofreading must have escaped you. I fixed some stuff for you Master O' English! Quite a tenuous grasp you have there on grammar, syntax, etc..

But yea...maybe be on point with your Grammar game before you knock someone else for theirs.

No, the word I was looking for WAS entitlement, specifically the following definition of it:

en·ti·tle·ment

the belief that one is inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment.

Thanks for the attempt at correcting my English, however. I must admit I am a little hazy as to what my English skills had to do with my statement.
