Long time player here. I came back a few months ago after a 3 year hiatus and I haven't seen a single gold mech (the $500 ones). They were rare back in the day and were primary targets in all gamesbut, do they still exists? Any old timers left?

Wow I love this. Excellent question. I haven't seen one in ages, in fact even back then I thin I saw one only once. This would be the ultimate flex these days! And these days you probably wouldn't get TKd for it.
Remember the guy who made a color/skin combination close to gold, painted his mechs and did an experiment logging into games calling people peasants and stuff? Got TKed all the time. Some times even without provocation.
Good times!

While TK is absolutely a violation, provocateurs are quite literally baiting it.

In the few years I've played this game I have only seen one on the battlefield once.

They are rare. I've seen a few. Never bought one. Especially when they were $500 PER skin when first released. Check the web site store and you might be able to get it. Or you could just get the color that matches gold much as possible for mc. The only "gold" I bought was my founders package. That's bling enough for me and some people can't tell the Founders' color from other colors so gold/fake gold looks the same.
It was probably the beef that did that fake gold video getting tk-ed.

I love metallic, it's more beautiful
I enjoy it as a color. Like a mirror.

Maybe one day they will release a special color transparent. I'm sure it will be quite expensive.

Saw one about 2 years ago, DWF I think. Super exciting.
No judgement against people that want to spend that on a skin... but at least mech packs and legendaries get you some kind of gameplay benefit. An expensive skin just makes you a TK target.

I still drop in my Gold Timby every so often just to see if anyone around knows what it is! I think most of the newer players don't know what it is, but about 1 in 10 games or so, I get someone who asks, "OMG, is that a Gold 'Mech?" and I end up posing for pictures!

I knew a guy who had all of the gold mechs that were available. He was a bit of ****.
