They should have discounted the cheap MC packages to increase the number of paying players.

People who want to see what the "paying experience" is like will not be "exploring" this idea with $50 or $100. They'll buy the cheap packs of MC to see what it's like to be a paying player, then spend the bulk quantities if they like it.

Discounting the cheap packs would have greatly increased the number of people exploring the idea of [and going through with] spending cash, and therefore magnify your Paying Player base...

...I hope it's not too late to fix this.

I agree. I was actually considering buying some MC until I saw it was only the $50 and $100 packages. If I was a millionare I would but alas, I am not...

and you are a Founder who has already invested.

Some of us missed the founders sale and are resentful (can't you tell) that similar deals arn't available for the newer players. This Black Friday (while a sale) is an epic failure. including Founders Mechs with bonuses like the Wang's, comparably larger MC counts and Premium time that didn't need to be purchased. Those Founder Packages were incredibly OP compared to this little bonus.

BTW, if the game is still in BETA... everybody pay-playing should be a Founder.

They are discounting the only packages that are priced well enough to purchase in the first place, so this "deal" only affects people who were already going to buy the large packs. It shouldn't bring in too many new customers...

But, please, feel free to comment if I am wrong. I'd love to be wrong and have more money going in, and if you're taking advantage of this deal AS A PREVIOUSLY NON-PAYING PLAYER then drop a line and say so. Please. Prove me wrong

I'd be all over the $30 package if it had a bonus to it. I mainly want it so I can get the Stalker when it comes out

Already spent my founders MC on doing stupid stuff, lol.

Maybe they'll have a good Xmas sale on all MC packages.

Open Beta is accessible by everyone. It's literally only one announcement away from being Release. They could make that announcement any time they want. Buying MC today shouldn't make people Founders, sorry.

Just like the Star Citizen thing. Only people who bought into it early get their special stuff. That's their equivalent of Founders. The normal people who didn't buy in early yet still get into alpha or beta aren't Founder-equivalent, even if they buy Credits while in alpha/beta.

Anyway...

I agree with the OP. All MC packages should get bonus MC for this special deal. Maybe not 5k extra, but graduated bonuses would be great.

Actually, you just made a crybaby post. That fixes nothing, especially when complaining like that doesn't magically shuttle more employees into their company. You act as if they're doing nothing at all, like a [RANT TERMINATED].

So, any non-previously-paying players buying the big packs?

iam just stateting that i want quality for my money.. if you dont want quality its okay.. i dont care.

the business model isnt my problem at all... if they throw out a game like MW:O and ppl wont pay for it.. its not the ppl´s problem.
i wouldnt care if MW:O would fail at this current state... 6 month CB/OB and the game is a mess.

I don't really count, as I've already paid (twice actually -- this Elite and one Legendary) ... but I'm going to be buying a $100 package before this sale is up. Might even buy one for each of my accounts.

[Corvus Antaka]

so true man.

25% OFF sells stuff.

get X more when you spend 100 bucks doesn't do so well.

basic marketing...I took a course

To add to that, the only thing a discount (is it actually a discount if you just get more MC?) to the lower priced tiers would have done was make them not complete ripoffs to buy.
