There is a thread meant specifically for discussing Forum Suggestions. Please bring your forum suggestions, including suggestions about General Discussion, to that thread.

This thread is for discussing in-game things you'd like to pay cash for as part of the game's Market-type system. Thanks for Understanding.

I like the single player idea a great deal. As far as custom doo dads go I don't care for them as I prefer driving a sleeper over a showboat. Many of us are struggling in this economy so whatever it is should have real value in a sense. For those who get worn on mathces the abilty to run a quest like single player is worthwhile and does not affect regular play for others.

In all truthfulness a pin up of say Blake lively or Amber Heard might be worth it., Was going to say Stoya but I am keeping it PG13

To answer the OP, I would pay somewhere between £40 to £50 to have everything unlocked and available. I would then be happy to pay £20 to £25 for meaningful expansions. Right now the content we have is not even close to what you would find in a single player game commanding such a price tag.

3) Music. MechWarrior II had a bonkers-awesome soundtrack.

I always listen to MW II soundtrack when playing MWO

I would pay for not having to grind through 3 variants of a chassis. Hmm, well actually you can do that even know, but it's gonna cost you like 50 euros. That's not a micro payment.

In case my previous post was not clear, I want to buy a totally canon alien bird creature sitting on mech's dashboard, attached by some manner of space glue. I joke about a lot of things but I could easily imagine spending a good 4000mc or so on tetatae.

You mean attached by plant resins...? Those birds aren't too keen on the Space Tech.

That's not the Free2Play model unfortunately, but I agree it is a prefferable solution for MWO.

Personally I won't pay for anything more above my Founders pack until I see, 12 vs 12 games, community warfare, double the maps, and the group situation fixed so I can play with more than 4 friends whilst not being fixed to 8. Sorry guys I paid good money for that and I expect it at some point in the future.

So after that what would I pay for?
- Destructable environments
- TrackIR support
- Clan tech mechs maybe
- adding my own decals/logo's to my chassis
- a mech engineer that can rebuy consumables and move equipment/modules automatically between chassis
- some form of game persistence
- DirectX 11 enhanced graphics on a x64 bit CryEngine

except most items in that list should just be in the game already.

1) Specialised Mechs (hero's etc)
2) Paint jobs
3) Decals
4) Vanity items
5) Mech Bays

Pretty much everything currently on offer however not at the current prices which I believe are way overpriced. $30 for Heavy Metal is crazy. 1500 MC for a paint job is Crazy and so is paying MC to unlock premium colours! Give us the colours for C-Bills and then charge us MC for the patterns.

Chances are if all the Hero Mech's dropped down to reasonable levels (say, $14 - $15 for the most expensive) and the other stuff dropped down to match, I would buy all of them, plus vanity items and paints for my other chassis. I think the Mech Bay's and Premium Time are about the only reasonably priced things in MWO at the moment.

I guess that at the moment PGI prefer the trickle sales at high prices than a large amount of sales at low prices. I can't fault them, it's a valid business practice but it will see me spend less money on this game than I would if I thought I was getting better deals.

This thread is specifically for Market-items and other things you'd like to buy with cash-currency. If you'd like to comment on technical bugs or other aspects of the game, then please do so in the appropriate forum subsections. There is even a dedicated thread for Forum Suggestions.

I would like to see a subscription option that not only gives you a "premium account" but also makes ALL in game items and options (Hero mecks included) available for perches with C-bills.

I think a good price point would be between 12.50 and 15.00$ US per mouth.

Not that it will ever happen but i can wish

I could see someone abusing that system by paying for a single month, and then dumping massive quantities of c-bills to buy all the Hero Mechs in one swoop.

However, perhaps offering discounts on MC-transactions while players are running Premium Time might be more tenable.

[BigBANGtheory]

PGI should really reach out to players in an official survey to gather their feedback on this matter, specifically players that have for example spent a resonable amount of $ so far (not specifically founders but obviously including them too).
