I have been playing this since the beginning. I'm 16 and really don't want to waste any money I do get on this so don't just tell me to pay for It (I would by those camos if I could, really want to support PGI)

Anyways, I only have 711 GXP total, and the cheapest module costs 5,000 GXP. PGI said that they are trying to not make this pay to win... so please make modules accessable to us who don't want to convert our XP to GXP. as of now, it's insane.

It's not pay to win if you can grind the modules. If they were available for MC only, then it would be. I've played around 321 matches and I have 6612 GXP. It does take a long time to gather but I don't feel like it should be any faster. I'm planning on getting Target Info and Capture modules, so I would need 25k GXP for those.

While I would love to be earning GXP faster without needing to pay for it I don't see it as a required change, and as Poppaukko said if you can grind for it then it's not Pay2Win, people really need to learn what Pay2Win actually is rather than just labelling everything that is annoying them as P2W.

You basically want something for nothing; not the best outlook since many older persons have a hatred of this 'entitlement' issue the younger generations seem to have.

General XP is just that. General. The more you play 1 mech, the more XP you get for it, and a set percent goes to the General reserve. There is no element of P2W here. You can get any module without paying a red cent. The game is F2P. You pay for convenience, not power. Anyone who was willing to put time and effort into getting the module could get it without spending a thing. You just want it without wanting to work for it.

If GXP is less rare why pay for it? If nobody pays for it what keeps the MWO servers going?

Target all mechs, do damage to all mechs, limb all mechs, kill 7 mechs and then cap. (Best way to farm GXP)

It has always been my opinion that people should earn gxp when running a trial mech. It won't end up much but it'll give a little boost to the first mech a new player buys.

This I can agree to. They should get XP and GXP. No reason a borrowed mech means you're not learning.
