Hi together,

i just came across that we currently have to spend MC to transfer XP to GXP.
Since all the sales right now force many players to just play their few Hero Mechs to grind some C-Bills they are overloaded with XP.

It would be nice to have the option to transfer XP to GXP with C-Bills. To make the MC Transaction still valuable the C-Bill transfer should be less efficient.

For Example with a factor of 1000:

as is: 25 XP -> 25 GXP for 1 MC
new: 25000 XP -> 25 GXP for 25 C-Bill

this would help to use more of the XP the players earn, but will still let the MC transaction be a good option, due to the higher ratio.

Cheers
KC

I always wanted this. A better transaction could be 25 XP > 25 GXP for 1000 or 10000 C-Bills. 250000 XP is too much to convert at a time and I don't think it would be feasible for PGI. The idea is to have a regular and compelling way to spend your C-Bills on.A lot of people have accumlated a ton of C-Bills and it's not in use as they already have a ton of mechs or have a lot of every weapon already and don't need to spend C-Bills on them so being able to transform XP to GXP would be a much better efficient use of XP and C-Bills for players.

People, I get what you're aiming at here, but I think the values are all a tad off. How about...

500 MXP (Mech XP) + 1500 (CB, aka C-Bills) = 25 GXP (General XP)

...which would very closely follow the In-Game Value Formula for accrued earnings? I derived part of this Conversion Formula using an average of the value of what 1 (MC, aka MechWarrior Credits) would be through the differences between what the 1.1M (C-Bills) @ 800 (MC, aka MechWarrior Credits) Bundle, and the 6.5M (C-Bills) @ 4000 (MC, aka MechWarrior Credits) Bundle in the In-Game Store happen to be at this time. Of course, and sort of knowing PGI, they'll want to make it stupidly harsh. So it will probably end up more like...

500 MXP (Mech XP) + 2500 (CB, aka C-Bills) = 25 GXP (General XP)

...because I've learned – to the point of it being deathly depressing – that PGI is more willing to Nerf everything than they are to Buff any of it. Heck, I would probably crack up laughing – and die laughing, more than likely – if PGI were ever to change course and start properly giving things Buffs here & there, all at a rate that happened to be far more often than their Nerf actions happening.
