What?
A mechbay is what...300 MC? The second lowest MC tier is $15. There are people out there that can't afford to drop $15 into a game? That would get you get mechbays (20 at the current sale price). You can grind out all the c-bill mechs you want then with 14 (or 24) mechbays.
If you can't afford to drop $15 into a game, you probably have bigger problems and shouldn't be wasting time playing any video games at all. Maybe study towards getting a better job. Start a gofundme or whatever. I bet most people could probably beg on a street corner for a few hours and get $15. You could probably just hangout at gas stations and ask everyone for $1 that pulls up.
If someone can't afford to put $15 into a f2p game, than they deserve to get stuck with 4 mechbays. Everything else in this game is attainable with time (for the most part). Do the c-bill earnings suck compared to before? Sure but that's a different topic of discussion.
I get it...people are all about instant gratification nowadays. That's possible too, here...just pony up the ca$h. Or work for things and save, like how people in previous generations used to do.
You like the pricing of the mechbay? Thats great! now pay for everything else too but first, lets start with mechbays.
Theres what? 300 battlemech right now? Let's say theres 300 battlemech. You wan't those because they make the game, each have something to offer. So that's 90000mc's, That will be 400$USD and you're in luck because you will have 10000mc's left so you can go nuts... well, if you dont go clanner you can buy 3 battlemech as long as you dont go into Assault. But that would be dumb, you should not buy 300 mechbays because battlemech are super pricey both cbills and mc and it's not realistic to want to buy all the mech with cbills. Instead buy 3 mechbays with 3 battlemech every week which will be enough to grind them and know if you like them or not. That should cost you 50$ a week but these will only be normal unupgraded variant and will cost you much cbills to be made viable. Get bundles instead, they are half upgraded, you also save mc's, youll get a hero a champ and a normie for between 4000mc and 10000 so right there we are down to 30$ to 50$ a week.
Instant gratification, it's a buzz word people throw around out of context. Instant gratification has nothing to do with wanting to enjoy the content of a game and having to spend cash for it. This isnt a rpg people, there is NO progression, no leveling or increasing difficulty, nothing, zero, nada, just pay now and pewpew. It's a first person shooter with one thing and one thing only, always more battlemech to buy. That's the only content you will ever get in this game. There is no story, no expansion, we can't even look at our mech outside of a swiveling doll in the mechlab.
Im happy that you like the mechbay pricing, next time someone criticise how everything in the game cost money and how, like op, they feel like they have to use cash(because it's a f2p after all) ill wave the mechbay price in their face as if i was making a point. Ill just forget the mechbays wont gethim much, not even battlemech to put in it
