So, who here is actually paying alot of money to convert 1 million XP into GXP for this event? Just wondering if anyone is actually doing it, because i sure as hell do not have 20,000 MC lying around...

[YourShadows]

it's 20K MC, i did the math because i was bored of waiting for CW
1,000,000 / 50 (the required amount by how much per 1 MC)
= 20,000 MC

I doubt anybody is doing that much conversions. But at any level you are still getting free stuff just for doing the conversion where before it was just the conversion of XP to GXP. I'm pretty sure it's the first time they have done additional bonuses in addition to the double conversion rate.

I may, but haven't decided yet. I've got 1.3 million GXP sitting there already.

I still think it is ridiculous, it might be more understandable if it was 100K as oppose to 1 Mil for the rewards, atleast then it's viable as it would cost less and be achievable

I converted about 100K, exactly what I was already planning to convert the next time this came up.

No need to go whole hog. There are 13 levels of reward.

You don't really need to spend money to get GXP... just play a (C) mech... If I'm correct.. the gxp that you make per-game is equal to 10% of the xp earned per match.. if your playin a (C) mech your getting 30% more xp per-match when playin it, which should also equals out to a 30% increase to ur gxp earned in each game... now if you add PremTime to that... well now ur just swimming in gxp.. and if you really feel the need to convert xp to gxp, you can then go to that (C) mech which should have a buttload of xp now and covert away.

5%, and it's only the XPs you earned not any bonus XPs.

(Though that last part may have been fixed, hard to say at this point.)

If I wasn't so close to getting 25k in cw of gxp I would convert some. Anyone with the option of doing OT at work can save a weekend of grinding for 1 hour of work.

[Groovdog]

Great for new players. Going to do 100K only as cbills not worth that much, like $8/100K gxp. I need to covert for mods anyways....

[RoboPatton]

I like to level mechs...

My gxp will stay its current religion.

If someone actually buys enough MC to convert a million GXP just for some cockpit trinkets and C-bills, they should also get a special badge with a picture of a pile of burning money and the title "The Credit Risk".

[Karamarka]

the question is why would anyone convert in the first place.

When I got rid of a couple mechs I didn't use anymore, I converted the leftover XP they had to GXP just so it wouldn't go wasted. But I did that with the free MC I picked up from the holiday event, which basically amounted to pocket change.

[CycKath]

Spent 159 MC, what I earned from recent challenges, just because. Just enough to get the first reward tier.

IMO using GXP on 'Mechs is the worst crime imaginable and I've maxed out every single module, GXP is worthless and it pisses me off there isn't anything else I can spend it on.
