I'm sure a lot of longer time players are in the same boat with 500,000+ GXP and nothing really to do with it. I don't think there should be any direct gameplay changing uses but using it as something to unlock special cosmetics or somesuch would be cool.

Main GXP sink I see is respeccing. It's going to get expensive over time.

people who have multiple 100k of spare GXP likely have tons of GSP and mechXP, too.

Let's face it, there was this little bit of endgame content that was master all the mechs but for many vets this is gone. I have so much GSP now, i could instantly master all coming mechs till this game shuts down.

Was going to say this. I already have quite a few mechs that I am kind of wishing I had done differently. Also 500k isn't alot of experience. It currently takes 72,800 XP to master a mech so 500k GXP will only master out a little under 7 mechs.

Hell I have already burnt through around 1000 HSP gained from my Modules and I still have tons of mechs that need points spent on them. Come July I will have 7 more mechs needing SP (unless I cancel my pre-order which I may do depending on what they do the MAD IIC). Now I don't think I need to spec all 91 points immediately but I do feel that most mechs need at least 40 points on them to be competitive. 40 x 7 = 280 points or 224,000 GXP burnt through in a single day.

500K of GXP is only going to get you 600 odd skill points, this is going to get consumed very quickly. GXP is still accumulating very slowly.

GSP i am carefully hording for some of the new mechs coming out. For those with huge amounts of GSP its either they had lots of modules prior to the cut off date or have not reapplied them to all of there mechs. This is a finite resource.
Good luck to them and what they have invested into the game for a long time.

I had most of my mechs mastered and I still have 3,900 or so GSP which can be used on any mech freely. That's kind of the position a lot of other players that have played as long as and longer than me are in.

I have burnt through 2.5k GSP so far, but I'm still sitting on 18K so....meh. 500k GXP that probably will never get touched. My bigger concern now is how I'm only making a net gain of 60-90k C-bills when I burn 160K on consumables a match (must control urge to airstrke that pillar that I know mechs are hiding behind)

Yeah, I it's a cheeky way to give incentive for heroes and premium time as well as faction warfare drops since they have bigger payouts. But whatever, most of the players that could voice the complaint and get a change are the ones sitting on YEARS of banked premium time anyway.

Don't give them any ideas, they sure do like money sinks...
