I will never buy premium in its current form because it ticks down when I'm logged out. I have a job and a life outside of computer games.

If premium time only ticked down while I was logged in, I'd buy it regularly.

Just my 2 shekels.

You could just purchase it daily, on the days you can get the most out of it....I think it is like 250MC ?? And if you spend $100 on MC, I think that works out to 10 months of premium @ $10 per month... You telling me you can not get $10 worth of entertainment out of this game each month?

Tell me what game anywhere doesn't count your time down when you arent playing? Don't hurt your brain, I'll answer for you. None. Did you expect this one to be any different?

Basically, given our wonderful 9 AM - 5 PM work and sleep lives it's all wasted. It's strange to see older folks still put up with it. I might buy 1 day if I intended on wasting the weekend on this game but really there is nothing to spend more than 2-3 hours on before burning out.

Man, don't be too kind to the guy he might think we want the game to get new players.

That is exactly why I don't have a phone, or cable TV, or a data plan.
If i'm not using it 24x7 they are ripping me off.

Well in that case I would definiately spend $1.39 to make those 2-3 hours worth while? And that is at the lowest dollar to MC rate. Do you people even leave the freaking house? You know how much it costs to go to a movie?

If Premium only ticked down when I was logged in, I'd have enough to last years.

Nobody cares about your life. Wargaming.net makes millions off of WoT and their premium ticks down logged out or logged in.

Let's pretend they change it the way you want it, guess what else they'd do? They would increase the premium price by 3x-5x.

Long story short you're not representative of their market.

Also, it would be perfectly acceptable to increase the MC price for premium if its nature changes.


Heck, even if they had a premium per drop option that would be an improvement.

Being a founder I already have premium. That said, with the game in its current state I don't see a point in buying more. Hell I haven't even spent any MC because there's so little reason to. You can buy most mechs by playing the game, and the painting system is frustrating.

That said I still have hope for the game and can't wait for the day when the game might have 20+ maps and hundreds of mech variants, along with balanced weapons and systems so that you can play a variety of play styles with out being punished for it.

They do, it's called hero mechs. Doesn't give xp but more than premium cbill bonuses, and it always works whenever you use it!

Hero mechs don't give bonus xp, which is needed to master your mechs and to get pilot modules at an accelerated rate.

Oh man, only when I log in to play...

I bought 360 days worth of time, just because I can.

That would last me for the rest of my life!

'(O.O)'

I support PGI, regardless of what people think.
