Hi there... I could be crazy and/or mistaken here, but it looks like the MWO CS 2025 In-Game Sale appears to have potential inconsistency issues, inclusive of the following...

• SMN-II-P & ADR-W missing from Sale currently, while all the rest of those Grand Summoner & Adder Chassis are present right now (Are they really meant to be missing, or should they actually be there?)
  
• Most of the Cougar Chassis not present on In-Game Sale right now, except for COU-BA currently (Is this one even supposed to be there, or was this an oops?)
  
• Most of the Cicada Chassis not present on In-Game Sale right now, except for CDA-M currently (Is this one even supposed to be there, or was this an oops?)
  
• Most of the Shadow Hawk Chassis not present on In-Game Sale right now, except for SHD-S currently (Is this one even supposed to be there, or was this an oops?)
  
• Most of the Marauder IIC Chassis not present on In-Game Sale right now, except for MAD-IIC(C) & MAD-IIC-DN currently (Is this whole Chassis supposed to be there, given that the entire "Marauder" & "Marauder II" are both currently present, or were these an oops?)
  
• Most of the Zeus Chassis not present on In-Game Sale right now, except for ZEU-M currently (Is this one even supposed to be there, or was this an oops?)
  
• Jenner IIC's Prime Variant "JR7-IIC" still missing an In-Game Store Stock Loadout Portrait after tons of Game Patch loads have happened (Somebody please fix this upstream at PGI's end, even if a newer image must be used, as the MWO Portal's standalone Repair Tool says everything is okay here... I have a feeling it keeps causing some silent Error within the MWO Game Client programming every so often, particularly when people look at Light Mech options to use...)
  
• Weapons should be left On-Sale for longer, but currently would drop out on August 5th and long before what works with any other Sale parts (I would not think anyone wishes to create a situation where Mech Creation gets stifled because some things suddenly became too costly?!?)
  
• Sale not properly set to run until September 14th at this time, currently would drop out on August 15th right now (What's going on here? Merely an accident? Possibly one of those Multi-Wave In-Game Sale things about to happen???)

...and so I'm left confused as to whether I've actually spotted something (possibly enough to actually earn a Developer Kill Medallion because of the information here) with all of this... (I went over things with a severely fine-toothed electronic comb here...) Or was there some intentional reason to not handle things how that News Post generally gives the impression of (words such as "Mechs" usually meaning full Chassis for each of those) and suggested it would be?

With all of the concerns I have brought up, it would be extremely rude of me to leave you thinking I'm only trying to bash, bemoan, and/or criticize, seeing as that's not my core intent. I am actually very thankful that this Sale has launched, look forward to future In-Game Sales as well, and simply wished to help keep things positive & constructive here!

<*quietly tries to step out, but trips on a random OmniMech OmniPod (Who left that there?) loudly by complete accident... several nearby technicians gawk over the mishap*>

Hi again... One more thing just crossed my vision, but deserves a separate post of its' own due to time passed since my last one here...

Why are all the One-Shot Camos being discounted when Unlockable Camo Patterns would be considered more friendly, and therefore really deserve being On-Sale to everyone? It would be very nice & appreciated to receive the allowance of players having an option for using our (MC) — hard-earned and/or paid for — on something a fair bit more meaningful in that department. After all, you folks in PGI's MWO Staff do want us players to stop sitting around with bland paint jobs, right?
