I'm really not a fan of this revenue model "Pay to Develop" slight jab there... Anyways I find the current way the game displays virtual items that are for sale clunky, uninformative and woefully overpriced. Ok lets say you have no MC and are a new player and want to add some premium time, where can it be viewed how much premium time even costs? Basing the marketplace within the game is so fail because you need a patch or a hotfix to display new items ect whereas having your Store or Market part of your website lends itself to better updating and puts all your virtual products under one roof that users can easily view every item, premium time, Hero Mech, and MC purchase available without actually being connected to the game. You guys are shoe horning your market place into an already clunky Mech lab that is far from elegant or informative.

I've been playing for 4-5 months now and I'm usually a cheap'o of the highest order but it's come time to give back and show my support for a wonderfully entertaining game so help me help you and get your store squared away because I have money I want to spend.

P.S your paints and cockpit stuff is overpriced imo. There's nothing "Micro transaction" about some of that bling.

I agree with the cockpit and stuff being over priced but I have to disagree with a website store.

It could use a little work to iron out the bumps but I think the in-game store works for this well. I can do everything from in-game and there is no need to quit out if I want to buy something new.

I guess you never taken notice of the "Store" tab right next to that "Faction" tab in the launcher?

Yeah I did but it's always been gray to me and does nothing. Perhaps that's because I've never had MC.

What I was getting at is that It's not in the game yet, but they are working on it.

I love to see how the store works out. Most of all what will be inside the Store. Sence you buy all mech stuff in the mechbay.

Yes, hopefully that "Store" tab will be functional in the 2.0 inrterface.

Currently the method that they use to help you part with your money isn't very intuitive at all. Which you have to admit is odd considering that these guys WANT our money.

Vegas figured it out a long time ago, "Make it dead easy to spend money all the time". They need a much, much better Store, and hopefully a different price structure too.
