No...just no...please stop. No more mechs we need xp
You'll get XP by playing the new mechs
Or combine a sale with something like "3000 XP free with each mech you buy"?

Can we get a double XP event or something for all these valu-mechs?!

Double XP would be perfect, I'd also not mind another of the Solaris style MC bonus sale where we got GXP and cbills.
Eh... people? We could really use a "Double
(
C-Bills) Event" more than a "Double XP Event"... Perhaps they could do a "Double XP &
(
C-Bills) Combined Event"??? I'm hurting a lot more here for
(
C-Bills) than I am for XP, and a Sale just rubs that in my face after taking part in multiple previous/recent Sales.
Hey, what's this? Yay, we have Developer Communication!

hey matt!
have you guys stopped doing the 50% off cbill/mc mech sales? I ask because I'm "a cheapsake"(thanks Russ
) and try to wait for the best buying deals.
I have been shy about doing 50% off since we have had issues with Sell back exploits.
Will probably do them again for Heroes and Champions at a certain point.
Hi there, Matt! If you're open to it, I've got a possible idea for you. Any Chassis/Variants that would be vulnerable to a Sell-Back Exploit should get a lesser percentage off during a Sale. Like, if 40% or more would result in such an exploit, then sell it at 30%/35% Off. Sure, it would result in a little more footwork needing being done before the Sale is active, and maybe a question or two to answer from the Community, but it would at least stop a Sell-Back Exploit from happening.
Just for the note of it, I hate, avoid, and don't use exploits like that. (
You can verify that from my Account History, I think?) These exploits already caused some Sale Items to be ripped out from under me when I might have wanted to grab one, and that's made me rather upset. But that anger is directed at the Community, not at you and the other Devs, because that's some rather shameful behavior on the part of MWO's Community. I'll be glad to help with being part of the solution that stops that behavior, however. That way, everyone can enjoy 50% Off Sales when you're able to pitch them up, as I particularly look forward to the '50% Off Hero Mech Sales' (
Best bang [pun intended] for the buck, never discontinue them!) when they're happening.
Oh, by the way, I was looking at the Website News Post version of the Announcement. Is there any chance you could add a "min-width: 100%" to the "style" attribute of the "table" element that contains the List Of Sales? Without it, I'm seeing that Table Element squashed all to one side, and it makes that information extremely hard to read. I had to use my FireFox Browser's Element Inspector to make it easier to read.
