Let's be honest, this is not a sweet deal. At least in my opinion. Sure if spend 99 bucks, i should qualify for the lower tiers as well and not be subjected to spend MORE just to get the others.

I know you cannot have multiple Hero mechs but there's gotta be a way to work around this.

I for one would be content to just spend 99 bucks and be over with it. And if i were to spend 400 bucks total and qualify for ALL the tiers, GREAT! Don't penalize me to spend more just for the lower tiers.

Other games i have played granted lower tiers upon spending the highest amount.

This time, i'll just pass this up, eating chocolate is sweet enough for me.

Slightly worse than end of the last year's MC deal, if you buy the MC with 25 bucks Hero choice.

It's a decent deal if for whatever reason you were planning on plopping down $100 for MC anyway, it's a nice perk. But if all you're interested in are the heroes then yeah, not the best way to go about getting them. It would in fact be the worst way.

Not exactly, see... if i spend 100 bucks for MC, why should i spend the next lower value for the next Hero? It would make better sense to obtain all 4 tiers for 100 bucks. It's 100 bucks!!! How much more is needed to "fund"? If i was only interested in tier 2, then i should be awarded the tier below. Simple as that. I dont see the need to pay again. That's all im saying.

Not going for it. I plan on making a token 14.99 purchase of MC for the 2017 year to qualify for the customer appreciation tiers of rewards, but I'm going to wait for the rare but standard 20% bonus MC sale that will come down the line. That will give me 3600 total MC rather than the stock 3000.

I could get the 3000 stock MC now and get a free warhorn, but warhorns go on sale somewhat frequently and a 750 MC horn drops down to 375, so... I enjoy the game as it stands and don't see a real motivation (in my case) not to be patient.

I already bought MC over christmas at the MC bonus deal... so I qualify as far as Loyalty goes, smart me (I guess....???)

To be honest.... the game took forever to polish.... and the fact they over charge players per mech and per mechbay...
Nah.... that's not a sweet deal. Nothing they offer is ever a sweet deal. If anything if there are any sales, the thats the price it should be and always have been.

For $100 dollars you should literally get every mech they offer.

$100 is like a collectors edition money. But in Mech Warrior Online $100 dollars gets you.... how many mechs?

I'm pretty sure I'm one of many players who plays regularly who thinks about paying for things, but after realizing how much of a rip off the prices are you just say forget it and just play once in a while.
