I'd drop some MC for new Betty voice packs. I love Carole's performance, but it would also amuse me greatly to hear Yomary Cruz (Sheila the Tank from Red vs. Blue) give a cheerful "All systems nominal," or to let Ellen McLain (GLaDOS from Portal) verbally abuse me for poor heat management.

I would pay money to be able to block posts from people who whine about stupid things or the people themselves if they are proving a habit of whining about a specific topic.

Or............being able to filter out certain keywords in posts so I don't have to read another whine about ECM.

Please dont slam if this has already been posted within the last 77 pages but it would be great to have House Emblems for Houses outside of the main setup. House Jurai has been around since 1996 as have a few other houses.

A very long shot but im sure those that take pride in the house that they are a part of and loyal to would be more than happy to spend $$$ to get their House emblem sitting inside their cockpit. This is a lot of work understandably but a ball park figure on price for something like this to be accomplished would be great. Im assuming this cost is not in the $1000's for one emblem with no prior knowledge about design at all (hides inside mech).

This or an emblem editor with enough freedom for shape and colour range approved through staff. (Covered on first page but had to bring it up again) This

I can see a lot of people happy to spend $$$ to wear their emblem/avatar to represent and take pride in their house. I certainly would

For a game without cheaters and aimbot users I would pay.
For a middleware that is not open like a barn door for aimbots, hacks and cheats.

For a company that realy takes effective measures against this stuff I would pay.

Congratulations please give RIOT Games all your money o_O

OK then how about this. The Devs hold a thread poll on the most desired map or mech. After the poll is taken the most desired is then given a kickstart program to see if enough players PAY for its development to be put in game. If not, meh. If so, then we get what WE want and PGI can justify the time and cost.

Next we have a loadout contest. Players submit hardpoints changes which do not presently exist to their favorite mech.. Pay a basic small MC cost to submit (thats where PGI gets its money). The winning new hardpoint system is then introduced as a new variant. You get credit (naming rights?) and they get money (bought MC). Would work like the 'HeroMech' system.

Of course I want the most extensive decal, paint job etc...possible but the present system is really expensive.

[Wildstreak]

I read there will be an ability to pay MC to change player name.
Should also be able to change Mech name.

Games without ECM

[Sable Dove]

I would pay for mech colours and patterns if they were reasonably priced.
I would pay for mech bays.
Of course, before I put money into the game, I want to see some actual progress on balancing certain aspects of the game. If the devs aren't going to fix the game, why would I pay any money for it?

[Kwikwi]

Pay for? A truly authentic roleplaying MMO that included mech battles or missions as part of it. For those who don't know, Mechwarrior was nothing like it's current form when it was originally released in book format. It was a roleplaying system to be used within the Battletech universe. Where you controlled a persona and not just an avatar in the mech. You had missions both in and outside the mechs. If you ran a small mercenary group you had supply issues and finances to deal with. The book itself was lacking but with a good GM it was entertaining. However sadly since it's original book release, Mechwarrior has slowly slipped into simply Battletech under a different name with each new PC game released. I would gladly let you leech 15 dollars a month for that, as it is now? Nothing.

Hmm Ok..

Victor mech would have me opening my premium, and extending it (yes I like the mech that much, though its far from the most powerfull) I'd possibly buy a hero variant, but the paint work would have to be alot better than what is available now,goes without saying the hidden..

Intresting cockpit items (the winged fairy, I missed, but looks alot better than the hula girl) most on sale now are very bland, the house flags 3d image, the snake is meh..and the lanterns are over stated

I guess certain camo designs (but they would have to be stella, for me to waste cash on something I can't see)

A full campaign with varied size and style of map, where scouting has a point,

a virtual traing ground to test loadouts and set keys/joystick in

Edit
Proper support for joysticks

ok, these are silly ideas for Cockpit items, but ones that came up while doing 4mans the other day, and we pretty much unanimously agreed that we'd all pay for them.

1. a bowl of Doritos (or some non trademarked snack chip) that would flip up into the air spilling chips everywhere when the mech took a significant enough cockpit shake (if it had arm waving, and "oh no oh no!!" I'd pay even MORE )

2. a randomly timed animation of the pilot lifting up a big sloppy cheezeburger, obscuring about the bottom 1/4 of the view as he takes a bite, then returning back down to the controls)

Yes, they are ridiculous, and yes I think there is stuff I'd rather see the devs burn their time on, but we pretty much all agreed that it wold be an entertaining idea and I'd drop a good $10 each on them. Maybe even $15.

[Tharkan Stuermer]

I would be glad to be paying a freaking nerf for the ECM systems, which are more than overpowered!
Balance the freaking game for god's sake!

I would start buying MC if you would stop ignoring a large portion of your community. Those of us that need a decent matchmaker to allow organized drops are getting very frustrated with your lack of attention paid to this. I would have thought that before you decided to create this game, you would have done a little research on a large community of mechwarriors that have been playing this game for over 10 years. I cannot believe that you want to alienate this community. Well I for one will not spend another penny, and I encourage anyone playing in organized communities to boycott the purchase of any MC until PGI decides to pay attention to us.

[rgreat]

Ability to make scripted offline missions with bots.

[MeggaBob]

Comedy weapon. Something that does the damage as another weapon, but fires something foolish. A chicken cannon would be great!

[Carrion Hound]

A frickin ash tray in my mech. That would be nice.

Says the person who spent at least 120$ in advance... And since they have the monopoly and you were willing to spend so much money on your own expectation/assumption, not even a promise or anything, I bet as soon as they fix something you will buy all the stuff you left out during your "non-pay" period, just a bit later.

What I would pay for?
Being able to choose where I want to play, from match to match. One match on the NA server (with NA buddies), one on the EU server (with EU buddies), instead you announced that I have to choose once, because you want to split the community to get more money from price differentiation.
Or I play WarThunder, were this is standard.

Oh, and I just read the first post. They said they dont want to make MC only mechs which have advantages over non-MC mechs?
Pretty Baby seems to be the only mech in the game able to mount a 400 engine...

Ok, for decoration? Give me clown on a trampolin instead of the unattractive hula girl...

PunkBuster the game!

[OuttaAmmo NoWai]

I want to apply camo to my Founder's Mechs.
I want visible cockpit damage when shot in the head area.
I want tanks, aerotech, infantry, etc. to shoot at.
I would pay for all of the above.

Can't think of anything else atm, but these are the things that come to mind.
