"Reactor online, sensors online, weapons online - all systems nominal..."
I'd pay to get that at the start of each match. (And yeah, I know it's coming regardless, but if it wasn't, I'd pay for it.)

Oh, I know! You could pay to get different voices and/or personalities. $100, and you get GLaDOS from Portal; she'll insult you whenever you take damage or miss with your PPCs!

I hope that the devs are still reading this thread, but here's some wishes of mine:

1. Paint options as store items, once bought you can use them for every mech you have.
2. Buy C-Bills directly for real cash
3. A hero mech upgrade for already owned mechs, you could maintain your current pricing for this.
4. Found your own gaming group/merc unit/house unit/etc, the guy who buys this can create a unit and invite players to join this unit. The advantages here would be a shared chat room, the ability to look at each other's mechs and whatnot. The person who buys this is essentially the boss of this area.
5. Buy multiple mechbays (5, 10 or 20).
6. Canon unit crests like these for instance: http://www.camospecs...ction.asp?ID=17

And a later stage I'd like to see these:
1. Classic mission packs you can play with your friends, these might include a special skin or mech as a bonus. A pack that revolves around the Gray Death Legion would be akin to this http://www.sarna.net...cenario_pack%29 . We'd get the GDL skin and logo with it: http://www.camospecs...Unit.asp?ID=194

2. Pilot outfits, most of these guys where shorts and have rather iconic cooling vests http://www.sarna.net...MechWarrior.jpg

I'd pay to not have to grind additional variants of the same mech to get access to Wlite and Mastery skills.

[eaglemaster42]

Would pay a normal game's full price ($50 or $60) for a collectors edition of the game with $50 or $60 worth of MC, a few mechs, maybe some skins.

[Spannerzombie]

First of all ....... well done. A game which finally has potential and hopefully a business model to support it. Some gamers have been annoyed with some games which I would consider short term games mostly through android and which they play for free but then have to put money into guns andweapons that you wont possibly use again due to getting board of the game. However the thought of being able to choose my own mech to customise for an open battlefield where because its free has a large customer interest ameauters alike........Bravo. l would pay for this and am looking forward to. Although you did say you did you wouldn't only give the best rigs to people who pay only but maybe thier are ways of gaing funds through supporting the game buy a t-shirt and give extra funds for world wide publicity.? At this time i'm tryng to become more proficient at setups , movements etc but hopefully when I get there......... looking forward to my first hero mod......... and develop it with both purchased refits and ones attained through spending time on the game .......... could we have monthly or bi yearly dm like events..... a challenge to test our rigs and look forward to... I will be going after this and looking for stratergy and rig guides to look at .....even might try and find a hayes manual ....... theirs a thought for you. Get the real feeling from this game of robot jox (1980's) movie, or even real steel............ sorry for droning on I hope this helps and well done....

I would pay for a tonnage restriction for 8 man drops. All atlas all the time 8 man groups become tiring and will ultimately result in people leaving the game and a loss of revenue for you.

[Valaska]

I would pay to host a server in which I could lock out certain features, such as ECM and, well ECM.

[Sythe]

A scotch glass filled with scotch/bourbon/whisky and ice on a gyro stabilized cup holder cockpit item. It'll be the only one I buy.

[Valorcalls]

I would pay to be able to make any mech into a founders mech. i want my mechs to have that paintjob. (and i want a founders jagermech)

[Kyryos]

Heroic Highlander. Or Atlas. So many people would buy these, including myself.

Reasons being,

1. Assault mechs cost a lot of cbills, so the grind takes a really long time. I would personally rather just spend some money and get a Hero version of one of my favorite mechs.

2. These mechs are fan favorites, and no one would pass up playing as an Atlas AND getting 30% extra cbills.

[ElLocoMarko]

I finally handed over some real cash....

I've been a staunch free player since September. So what did it? Several things.
1) Double XP weekend and I needed a new mechbay. I bought 3.

But after I handed over the money for MC's I went a little wacky and started buying quite a bit more. It was a $50 gift visa from Christamas, so I had quite a bit of balance left.

2) Premium time. Wanting to get the multiplicative effect of premium time and double XP, I bought 3 days. I probably wouldn't have done this without the free day of premium time given out a month ago from the Penny Arcade comic.
3) Hero Mech. The clock was ticking on double XP weekend AND my 3 days of premium time, the pilot tree of my first CTF was complete and I did not have the C-bill balance to buy a second CTF. So I MC-purchased the hero mech. It's expensive as heck and really good. And when I finished with its pilot basics I did have enough C-Bill for a third Phract.

"They've already said that they aren't going to sell anything that gives a player an advantage..."

I can pay for this. Nothing more - only fair game

P.S. IMHO I want nor f2p game, i want good case with disck inside.. ind im ready to pay for it, not for stupid cammo etc...

[Splinters]

I would pay for MC if I could convert them to CBills. (maybe no more than 200k in Cbills per day so we don't ruin the economy in one day)

I would also pay for clan mechs to be non-player so we can keep the balance of power in players hands instead of tech. (What would we do if we saw a 6x S-SRM6 heavy mech with ECM that can go 90kph?)

I would also pay into a MC donation fund to get netcode fixes so we can get collisions back properly.

[Ave Hax]

They have an empty store I would like my merc -T-Shirt please Represent People!!!

[Limidas]

I would pay mc's for the ability to turn on/ off the glowing eyes of the Atlas (as in closed beta)

[herculesftl]

I would pay for the founders program. How many of you guys joined too late?

[Icemantas]

I would pay for better netcode and bug free mode.

But srsly who would pay for a broken toy?
