They don't deserve money until they even the number of artists to developers so they can actually make improvements to the game. Cut 10 artists and hire 10 developers. Why do they need 20 artist and only 7 developers? Oh, so they can pump out mech packs when the coffers dry up that the sheep willingly buy.

Custom arms... that hide the empty hard points. Like an ac20 arm for the YLW that looks like the original arm. Without 'x' or empty spaces. Custom shields for the other arm. Custom PPC arms that look like the old ones for the K2. Same for the awesome arm and nipples. Glowing eyes for the altas. And skull heads. Etc... if the loadout does not match the cosmetic piece, unequip the cosmetic and return it to the inventory.

I would feel a bit trolled, but at least my old mechs would be returned to their former glory.

And the girl paints in the side of the mech, WW2 bomber style are a need.

Yes, this would be very cool. I'd buy the original Centurion arm and missile doors - and that's geometry they already made.

And pinup girls would rock.

There's so much that could be added. Pgi doesn't have to rely on just the whales who buy packs. Options open more wallets.

Heck, give the whales expensive unique geometry mega-packs that unlock everything, and plink away at everyone else with micro-transactions.

Exactly my thoughts.

It's been told a thousand times on these forums. It's the pareto (or we could say whale) principle in business; you make 80% of your revenue from about 20% of your customers, dropping price wouldn't change much here.. I wouldn't buy any more or any less if the prices change.. If I want it, I'll just get it, but if I think it's crap, I won't get it. Had doubts about the Highlander IIC pack, so just got the Hunch pack, because I don't think I will ever want to pilot the heavies. But if I would, I would still get them, 20$ or 30$ per tier don't make any difference for the 20% of those customers here. At this point, you don't ask yourself anymore how expensive a color or cockpit item is. It's "good investment" anyway.

More customisation would be nice, but I don't think we'll be getting much of it, except for the decals with 500-1000 mc price slapped on them on which they are probably still deciding on. Honestly tough, would it make a difference to get a decal for my faction at 250, 500, or 1000 price? Or 500 for regular and 1000 for shinier premium decal? There is no doubt that you get the one you want, anyway, no matter the price, and this is how money is made.

I think if we can get PGI's attention we could get more than just decals.

To the twitters!

Or we could see if we can get Tina's attention.
