PGI is creating the equal and opposite issue for the "module-rich, with less mechs" as they did for the "mech-rich, with less modules". The first refund proposal was going to cause and insane C-bill grind to allow this latter group to skill up the mechs to the level of the former group. This version looks like it will cause an insane c-bill grind get the number of Mechs the "mech-rich" group already has (gained by forgoing buying modules). Either way one group has to grind hard to get to where the other group is already at. PGI just flipped who has to do the grinding.

I bought modules to use, yes.
However i did so with the expectation that if they were ever removed, i would be refunded (because of the rage not doing so would cause). Thats part of why i bought so many.
People who didnt buy modules, and instead bought more mechs, levelled them to master and moved on to the next mech are getting a great deal of free stuff, effectively getting all the modules i paid for, for free. Im not complaining about that, because whats on other peoples accounts doesnt bother me. However, compared to those people, i feel im being penalised, because the offered refund for my modules is, effectively, useless to me. Having checked the ledger, im getting ~36,000 GSP, which is enough to level 395 mechs. Since all the mechs i play already have mastery (and excess XP) they will be fully leveled anyway, so to actually make use of the GSP, i need to buy 395!! more mechs. That is very obviously never happening. Even taking into account using the GSP for some re-speccing, its still way more than 300 new mechs.

actually
16 skill points needd for ONE mech full radar derp, so While previously 100+ mechs could use that ability freely "respecable", I now can get 4,1 mechs with the same effect.

Sure a premum steak may be better than a all you can eat normal steak day, but the change doesn't gets us premum skills, it's just the same effects. therefore it is a comparison between equal steaks one just more expensive than the all you can eat.
so those 67skillpoints sound only good on paper. Given you belong to those people that even would need more GXP.

Yeah, but the thing was that % was still fixed and it was a maximum of what I and others could potentially get without sacrificing anything at all in return. Under the new system it is completely different. So please, don't ever tell us how we are being fully compensated because that simply is a lie.
Like I said to Lily the old system is going away. How they choose to compensate us is up to them, and this new attempt is pretty damn generous all things considered. I have my concerns with the new skill tree and what looks to be happening with balance, but the compensation isn't one of them.
