I'd rather grind at my job for an hour and use the credits I make there to avoid hours n hours in mechs I don't like.

This.

LOL

Then I want a Wolfhound!

[Anastasius]

I have not spent any of my founders MC nor have I activated my Premium.

I will not spend and or activate my premium until the game has the campaign/planetary/community warfare implemented.

Personally I have no problems with the games current state save it is taking longer than I would like but I am fine with waiting for a more playable product.

[MustrumRidcully]

I voted other, in addition other option.:
C-Bills.

I bought a mech, and sold it for its C-Bills. (And sometimes parts.)

Why? I am currently banking C-Bills like crazy, getting premium and founder bonuses. When those features hit I will probably have more C-Bills than Comstar, and I'll be able to buy whatever tech I want without having to start grinding from scratch.
To date I have earned over 200,000,000 c-bill in just under 1000 matches.

Bought one Centurion when I screwed up my Hunchback and couldn't afford to fit it out (bought DHS and then lacked CBills to finish fitting it out) and needed a medium mech to run in.

Bought one Cataphract 4X as I had been saving MC specifically for the Dakkaphract (or, Jagermech, had it come out first.)

And then bought 30 days Premium Time to hold onto the 90 days Founder time for a later date, as I'm not sure how heavily I will be playing this winter - already a bit burned out on current maps and game modes. Not angry or a critique, just statement of fact.

Have bought 2 or 3 mechbays so far, and that is where I would like to see the bulk of my remaining 10k MC go.

Now, about those camo prices...

[Savagedpuck]

I haven't used my MC yet, working on getting my maching ready to play.

[ollo]

Mech and mechbays. The mech i bought was by accident because of the crappy interface and the stuff i spent while MCB meant nothing...

[Pendraco]

I have slowly whittled my MC down to 10,265 with 29 Bays and the YLW....and maybe a Cataphract? I have decided to spend $15 a month on MC until I get back to a comfortable level!

[QuantumButler]

Not spending any except on mech bays.

[Lusankya]

Nothing yet. I'm just waiting until we get closer to launch.

[Lampshade 1]

I'm saving my MC until all of the goodies come out... Urbanmech bobblehead anyone?

[JeremyCrow]

Just bought a Hunchback, so I could have two mechs (one besides my founder Atlas).

I'm not spending any more until more features are implemented, like Clan tech

Btw, I think having to use MC to convert XP to GXP is total ********.

I see no reason to spend that much time in game at the moment.

I am not one to sit and grind I am a metagame player that is more interested in the planetary campaign and factional warfare.

I have been in the beta since May and since the Open beta reset I have maybe a few hundred games and 11 mil banked. I did buy a K2 with Cbills as well as a 245 XL I swap from my Jenner to my K2, but I will not spend any MC until I see a more complete game.

Its just how I roll sir.

[Virtusx]

OP I would suggest changing the YLW to hero mech, since that is how I will spend it when the Phract hero comes out.

[N0MAD]

Hmmm i spent most of them before i realised they werent being reset.
Ok im stupid, or is it that it wasnt plainly told they were not being reset?
I expected a big announcement on the Login screen for such an important thing, (did i miss it?)
Am i expected to read every thread on forums to get such important info?
The other thing that confussed me was the big BETA sign on the Login page, Beta to me means Testing.
Beta to me means Test all Mechs, Equipment etc, use the MC etc to get these mech to test.
Are we in a Launched game? if not why is it we are being made to use MCs which i figured were a benefit of me paying $120 to assist the company by testing an unfinished game.
Im not happy they wont be reset on Actual launch.

[Attalward]

I would want to spend my MC but i am waiting for the performance to improve for me.

Either they optimize the game enoguh to run on my rig or i get enough money to improve my rig, whatever comes first.

At this time, the YLW is the only one you can buy.
I know the next one is due in a week (or less).

Part of the reason I wanted to run this poll was to see if ANY Founders bought the YLW with their bonus MC.

I am NOT a Founder (not by choice, by circumstance at the time), but have since purchased MC and bought some things.
I bought a YLW (cause I like the Centurions and the bonus C-Bills doesnt hurt) and some mech bays. I painted a mech, cost like 150 MC (what is that, less than a dollar?)

I intend to buy more MC (as needed) for (edit) mech bays and possibly premium time (this is actually a very good purchase if you have time to play the game and use the 'time')

Also musing over that dropship thingie. Looks pretty cool too. Already have the monkey and Dawn so the Hula girl is, eh, not so inviting to me personally.

Mostly I was curious about the YLW. I see many on the battlefield despite the negative comments so I wondered if Founders spent their MC on it just because there was not much else to spend MC on other than mechs and mech bays and conversions of XP.
