Ok so let me grt this strait.. We all rush to purchase the founders packs on day one with the promise of founders mechs that have a 25% bonus to c-bills and xp. Then a week later they just decide to remove the xp bonus with nary an apology. What gives? I pay for something and then get told i don't get what was listed?

Also where is the guarantee that no future premium or such mechs won't get the now singular bonus of extra c-bills?

There was never an xp bonus to the founder mech.

However the premium subscription that comes with the Founder's package does have a xp bonus.

Founders get the XP bonus as well. Except the XP bonus comes from their monthly subscription instead of the mech.

So many people here don't read what they buy.

Pretty much.

No, it was quite clear what was listed. Its since been changed. I'm not one for history been rewritten.

Nothing has changed, person from upsidedown land. Perhaps you mistook something while reading it upside down?

[Faenwulf]

No, it was never like that.

Just look at the original Operation:Inception thread. It was never listed, that the 'Mech gives a bonus to XP gain.

I could probably use the search feature to go back months to find posts where this exact exchange happened. Every time someone says XP, someone else corrects them. Yet somehow, people seem to keep thinking the founder mechs grant XP.

Is this a WoT phenomenon?

The original wording was confusing. It was later clarified by the developers.

If you're that upset about getting an XP bonus from a subscription instead of the mech, get a refund.

Yep, your right it was quite clear:

Now bear in mind you WILL have an xp advantage over anyone going the F2P route.... as you can play your mech of choice from day 1 without worrying about the costs to run said vehicle. You will need pilot xp (get from playing anything) and specific chassis xp which you get from playing the mech in question.

There's no doubt in my mind that only founders will have access to the Atlas for a week-month unless some of the F2P crowd opt in to buy some CB with their hard earned cash. There's no "hook" if someone can start playing the game and immediately be able to buy any mech in the store from the time they start. They could just keep making new accounts spend the mountain of cash and start over....

[Tekkiller]

In the end, it doesn't even matter. If it is only remotely similar to WoT, you will stop needing XP for a particular mech pretty soon, while you will always have to/want to come back to the cash-generator to make more c-bills.

Im a suspicious person by nature and I'm not sold on the "never had xp bonus", still the issue i want answered is if the c-bill bonus will be a unique feature of founders mechs. If they are then i will upgrade to legendary.

[Five by Five]

Perhaps people got the XP bonus from the premium accounts and the life-time C_Bill bonus confused:

"Exclusive custom "Founder's BattleMech." This 'Mech includes a lifetime, per-match C-Bill booster."

The Founder's mech includes a lifetime c-bill bonus.

There's NO information on whether or not that is a "unique feature" to the Founder's mechs.

[Nicolai Deadfield]

Looking at the email I received should answer this...

Yep. Xp bonus for premium account. Cbill bonus for founders mechs.

Yes it was quite clear, founders mechs get boost to cbills, premium gets boost to cbills/xp. In fact if you go back through various forum threads since it was announced you'll find people correcting the forum user created "fact" that the xp bonus was included with the mechs as well. Best bet is to read directly what the devs put up and take anything from the forum. . . no matter how well intentioned, with a grain of salt.

It is not their fault you rushed to buy a product without reading about it first. It wasn't hard for me to discover that the "Premium" is +50% Cbills+xp while simply piloting a "Founders" Mech is +25% xp.(And they stack) I never once read any different so I don't know where you did.
