I am realy curious what are you doing with MC or real cash.
Cause i got allmost all of my founder cash and dont know what to do with it. Current game makes some Mechs just plain bad choice at all. And there arent many to choose from anyway.

I cant buy maps. I cant buy anything.....
I would love to pay.... lets say 10.000 MC for a game mode Random vs Random, but i guess thats just never coming.

I WILL be spending MC mostly on cosmetic stuff like camo and decals when that becomes available. I'd add the option.

Whoa whoa wait a minute


Where is the Hell is the option for: "Saving all my MC for paint jobs, hula girls, fuzzy dice and cup holders"?!

[Mancu]

Extra mech slots are the only thing I plan to spend on right now. I'm just going to save the rest until I find something I really want.

[Ryvucz]

20+ mech bays. The rest will be going to future hero mechs and/or customization options.

I think you left out premium time on your vote list.

[Agent 0 Fortune]

I have spend MC on:
Mechs to pilot, I have never purchased a mech with C-Bills, I need those for Engines, DHS, Endo, Ferro, Modules, etc
I bought an Atlas K just to get the 300 XL engine. kept the K for when I start training Atlas
I have convered some XP to GXP when I didn't want to grind out an elite, or wanted a Module.

MC have cut my grinding in half, I have the mechs I want and the tech I want, and I don't feel forced to play a specific mech (like a founder laser boat to earn more C-Bills, or grind out the 3rd variant to get masters).

[King Hrothgar]

I traded a little of mine for some GXP but that's it so far. I plan to save the rest of it for MC only items like cosmetic stuff, mech bays and maybe a few choice hero mechs. I've skipped the wang, tried it in closed beta and thought the entire chasis was terrible. So I have no plans of ever buying it.

Ok that i realy didnt think about.
I was always about either grind and save money. Or spend money and save grind.
Spending money to make grind more efficient wasnt in my mind!

I added it.

[BlackSquirrel]

Nothing yet... Though I might need to buy a hunchback laser boat to grind. Also waiting for other mechs to come out.

[SuperPuppy]

After reading a particular thread on this subject, despite my better judgement, I realize that Premium Time is the best value for money.

For the cash equivalent of a Centurion or a Catapult, I could buy a month's worth of Premium Time and buy all the mechs.

^^^^^This!

would quite probably buy Hero mechs for variants that I like using.. grinding for C-bills will start to suck once all your founders are at maxed master level. I'm sure PGI can work out an optimal equilibrium between 'premium time' and the always-on premium you'd get from buying a Hero mech.

i'd fork out for Mechbays, Skins/Cosmetics (provided they were buy-once use-infinitely, not MC-per-use/swap), and of course i'd 100% fork out for PVE co-op content. But I'm certain PGI knows the *hell* out of that.

[Mu]

None of the above, really...I got a K2 and an AWS-9M along with some mech bays, because they made the efficiencies from EXP much more powerful and I need to get those up and running ASAP. Plus I didn't have time to grind up 20 million c-bills before playing with my team, although I've made well over that in the last few days.

I still have almost 12k MC left over. That will be reserved for any 'lo-wang' like special variants of the Awesome or Cataphract that might be added down the line. And premium time, which I won't need once I'm finished maxing out 3 chassis so I plan on just using the button to put a hold on it until new mechs I want come out.

But really, I didn't need to buy anything except maybe the mech bays. The need for grinding will drop dramatically once I unlock the master efficiency tier, and the only reason I spent MC to hurry this process up is simply that I can't stand being 'gimped' in any way. Speed tweak alone is a HUGE advantage.

[RaNDoMPReCiSioN]

I'm keeping my MC for laters. If I need a mech I'll grind it with my founder mechs first. If I spend any on a mech it will be for the Highlander. The rest I'll keep for a rainy day (or that must have skin or cockpit item.) What I'd like to see is the ability to import custom community skins. The three colour interface, when it comes, seems just not enough.

[Jack Corvus]

I bought a day of premium time once just to see what it was like. I've bought some mech bays. I converted some of the Mech XP on a chassis I was about to get rid of into GXP so it wouldn't go to waste.

[Vermaxx]

I'll unload my founder mc when they add something worth buying, or I run out of mechbays.

Considering I have one free, and one joke mech that is getting sold the minute collisions are back in, I'm not in a rush.

[Scorm]

Im currently holding all my mc until more items get into the game. Most likely it will go towards mech bays, some skins, and maybe a mech if I don't feel like spending the c-bills at that time.

[Sprouticus]

I bought a mech accidentily.....whoops!

I WILL spend MC on GXP conversion and premium time, as that is the most efficient use of $$ right now
