Did you really expect them to reduce the price and completely f**k over anyone who already bought one though?

This is probably the main reason prices haven't dropped, mostly because people will, even if they haven't touched the mechs in question in over a year, whine ***** and demand refunds. People will find a way.

Dude, it's not a lie it's straight from Russ in one of the first town hall meetings gold mechs were 100% IGP.
I don't know why you have this mistaken fixation with pricing, you've been here long enough that you should *know* that Russ/PGI have *always* since CLOSED BETA said their pricing model is based on World of Tanks. It's not a secret or some conspiracy. Yet you keep making troll comments like 'why hasn't the pricing changed since IGP is gone?' And the answer is because the pricing model hasn't changed from PGI's initial model from World of Tanks.

And you are completely over looking what *has* changed - think back how many sales there were when IGP was in charge, and what was the content of those sales. Now look back over the past year - we have had sales nearly every weekend, sometimes for weeks at a time. And content that was *never* on sale before, item sales for things bought with C-Bills like modules, etc. So Pricing *has* changed for the better. Take the chip off your shoulders and the blinders from your eyes man, seriously. Or at least take off the tin foil hat.

EDIT:
From the 2nd town hall - Russ about owning the MC/Mech pricing, IGP Gold mech discussion must have been from the first one but I didn't find that one in my search.

Hey look; you can still buy gold mechs and theyre still $500

If that price was IGP's fault then um why is it still $500?

Youd think if that deal was all IGP's fault then theyd have killed that sale or brought it to a reasonable amount.

...unless it wasnt IGP's fault after all

I want you to look to your right then look to your left.Check behind you.

Is there a PGI representative holding a gun to your head demanding you to buy a gold mech?

If no then what is the issue?

To be fair, with the exception of Founders and Phoenix packages, every package offered is still on sale. They made a certain number of each Gold package available for sale. Some have reached that number of sales and some have not.

And? That doesn't mean jack. It's not like they are going to close down the sales of them just because IGP isnt' around, People are still buying them and every pack released since the First Invasion pack are on sale still. So they should shut all them down too? SMH.

Lowering the price would do nothing but stir bad blood between PGI and the whales.

Announcing a stop to the sale would draw accusations that it's crass attempt at sucking the money out of the few remaining people that wish they had bought one.

Doing nothing is probably the most diplomatic thing they can do. I'm sure they wish the whole episode could just be forgotten.

It's only a lie to someone who's goal is to stir up trouble.

there is nothing to excuse. IGP wanted to sell gold mechs. They set the price and if someone wantswanted to pay it they can. if you don't want to buy one, don't. PGI decided to keep up for sale, most likely because people still buy them.

there is no controversy. no lies. no excuses. just you desperately going from topic to topic doing whatever you can to get people upset over non issues from years ago. and if that's all you want, just head back to r/mwo again. you fit in there like a glove.

People should keep in mind Buddah went to the school of Vassago on how to troll forums. Ad homs and strawmen are all they are capable of.

And where is the basis for your assertion that PGi said pricing was IPG's fault? Because that is 100% your lie/fabrication. Where is your proof?

I'll start with this:

You'll only have to listen to that for one minute to disprove your claims, and listen for 5-10 to hear the whole explanation.

Still sitting through all the town halls to find the gold mech discussion...

so back to trying to stir up unsubstantiated crap full time, eh?

Reducing price only pretty much pisses down the leg of any person who already bought one. The only real modification they could do would be to remove them completely. Next non issue you'd like to try to turn into a dumpster fire? (I mean, are you just looking to stir up pointless trouble and get banned again?)
