So the customer appreciation mechs are a wonderful gift to all of us who have spent real money on this game. A great way to get us to spend even more would be an MC sale following the injection of the customer appreciation mechs into our accounts.

Of the three new mechs I am about to get, two of which are in chassis I do not own. So inevitably I will need to but two more variants of each in order to master them. While I will do this through c-bill slog if necessary, if there were an MC sale I would buy them immediately. (As an aside, why no Wolverine bundle?)

Can some of you twitter users send a request to Russ?

I really think they would get some purchasers if they had an MC sale right after the customer appreciation mechs are injected.

with all these packs...who uses MC anymore?

[Spheroid]

Suck it up and grind. 3 million for a Cicada is not a lot. Probably have enough by the time you finish basic on the 3F.

[Bud Crue]

Of course, I will grind, as I indicated. My point was to suggest a way for PGI to get more funds. IMHO they seem pretty desperate for $ what with the unseen packs being rushed out so close together, etc. If so, an easy way to get some more $ would be to offer an MC sale to encourage folks who have already shown a willingness to spend $ on the game (see criteria for getting the rewards mechs), to spend even more. I don't have wolverines or zeus. I will buy then as I have the in-game funds but with two new "free" mechs I would be sorely temped to just purchase them outright with real $ if there were an incentive -such as a sale (or a bundle with premium time, etc.).

And what about the very expensive Executioner?

People who want old school mechs, or membership, or daft cockpit items and ritzy colours.

Oh yeah, and those who convert XP to GXP

GXP is a scam.

It's a bit unfair to call it "a scam" as you exactly what is advertised at exactly the price advertise. IMO its more as a money-pinata targeted at the terminally frustrated that happened due to the End Game Content [sic] having been put in several years late and with a lack of thought or consideration.

Lies. Of course, this is PGI, so we should expect that.

I'm saving my MC for Clan Heroes. And maybe more IS heroes if Paul goes through the IS XL buff.

I don't have any use for mc right now except for cockpit items. I'm waiting for the cockpit item sale for Halloween since that is at the end of this month and I want to trick out mech with a halloween theme and again for xmas in two months. Pgi really needs to do cockpit item mc sales for holidays for us and canada then extened it to other countries holidays with items for those holidays during the month of that holiday and not a few days before or after it. A mexican hat cockpit item for cinco de mio etc.

[Speedy Plysitkos]

So far the Timberwolf hero has been confirmed to be in the works. Since it is not a new chassis, PGI should be able to deliver it around later this year, or early next year. My MC can wait for as long as it needs to.

Thanks to the wonder of omnipods, I can finally have many Heroes in one, without buying packs or a-la-carte. Not to mention that I won't have to deal with the stupid Invasion camo.

Grinding to purchase Clan mechs is a good argument for mental health reform, because there's no way you're eliting any TBR, EBJ, or DWF without permanent PTSD.

[627]

meh, mc became worthless in this game, can't buy any new toys with it. you have to wait like the space poor and then youjust wait some weeks and buy it with cbills.

And clan heros? I bet 300 MC they'll be dollar first, like all recent mechs/packs.

Why do people say Need when they mean to say Want. We do not Need a sale. Just saying.

Please stop giving PGI money. Make them earn it. Mech skins and slightly different geometry with stale game play is not deserving.

They can't. Timberwolf chassis is already out. The hero will have to be stand alone, like the IS version. Even if future Clan Heroes follow the Marauder model, they will eventually be sold individually upon release. I can wait.

PGI is not dumb enough to sell the Heroes only with the pack. The backlash would be immense.
