14 000 000 c-bills

Hum i'm ready to go to 18 000 000 c-bills to improve my foxie...

This just sounds like another way for someone to get free ****. Which in my opinion PGI does a damn good job of giving us free ****. Example, how about playing 100 matches in a year you automatically get a cbill bonus mech (which they have given every year since being out of beta).

They also give random mechs, cockpit items, and other stuff with grab bag events like what we just had multiple times through out the year.

In other words no we do not need another give me function.

What we need is new features that change game play.

So I would pay 22 000 000 C-Bill's even when I already own one KFX-PR, only to get more pods. But that's just beginning...

Hrm... I was going to place a bid until I played around with the purifier pods in Smurfy's and realized that those highly coveted side torsos would really only make my Cute Fox that I already run hot in run even hotter. I am not unhappy with my Cute Fox's performance and upon closer inspection I believe that adding more energy hardpoints to it will be detrimental to its health. I'll pass on this bid.

Problem with something like this I would easily pay 40 million or more if it was a one time buy but in a real auction there would be more coming around so I would wait for a cheaper one.

I don't want to auction off my unused mechs, but I would love to be able to put them up for rentals.

Renters rent the mech for a pre-specified amount of time or number of drops for a small up-front paymenr. They get full XP and loyalty points when playing rented mechs, but the owner gets 5% of C-bill earnings. Loadouts can't be changed by the renter, and all cosmetics are locked in place, but armor and consumables can be adjusted.

Also, any special bonuses apply, so Heroes and special variants still give extra C-bills, and Champions give bonus XP

Okay let it be, more auctions. At current rate, one hero/champion per week gives you 52 auctions per year and there's a whole server bidding. Mechs picked for auctions are completely random so you might have to wait for a long time before something you want shows up again. This assuming you can outbid others, because there is just single mech copy for sale each week.

All right, so 30 000 000 C-Bill's is current bid. Remember to try to use your current MWO C-Bill's, not amounts you would be able to spend if you would have them.

I did have over 40 mil when I bid, but then I bought a marauder and some commandos.... so ...... it was legit. But maybe I started too high?

[Khobai]

i think you guys missed the whole point of a black market

black markets sell things that arnt available anywhere else, usually because its stolen merchandise or merchandise thats illegal in nature.

if a black market is implemented into MWO it should sell mostly lostech weapons/equipment and comstar/starleague era mechs, etc... they could also tie it in with supply caches to make them more worthwhile. basically it would be a moneysink for cbillionaires to spend their cbills.

Nobody bidding? Currently I would pay 35 000 000 C-Bill's.

[Juodas Varnas]

Seems I'm winning my own mock auction. 35 000 000 C-Bill's for Kit Fox Purifier hero mech. We assume it's totally same hero mech as $10 one just without own Mech Bay. So with 30% C-Bill bonus it shouldn't be hard to get money back. Only 3 days left until auction end.

Edited by G4LV4TR0N, 09 April 2017 - 01:37 PM.

[G4LV4TR0N]

And I won. 35 000 000 C-Bill's, final price for Kit Fox Purifier. I was actually ready to pay much more for a second copy of mech I already own, but no one gave me a chance. If it would be as good as people claim then final bill would have few more zeroes. And conclusion?

Conclusion is, most people who brag about special hero omnipods brag because they want stuff free. And if PGI would try to move those hero mechs to C-Bill store, and then would raise their digital currency price by few zeroes, then people would be still bragging. Just about price and grind. And nothing else would change.
