Hey, guys. I'm posting this topic to raise awareness; Currently, 1MC is 25XP. 100 MC is 2500XP.
1000, or about 5 dollars, is 25000 XP, enough to bring one mech from elite 0/8 to 8/8.
But when you have over 100k XP on a particular mech, what do you do with that? There is nothing else, other than buying MC, to use that XP when you have 1/1 Master, and I believe there needs to be a way to dump all of that XP.
My proposal is simple. 1 general XP for every 10 XP. This would allow 125000 XP(I've got something close on my Centurion) to be transferred to 12500 GXP, for use for modules, or knocking out basic for a mech, especially one of the painful-to-play ones that you NEED to use to get Elite for other mechs.
It's a harsh penalty to move it like this, but it's also free to use, otherwise. Just like earning cbills to trade for mechs, earning XP to trade for GXP without forcing a player to play something they don't want to play or forcing them to pay, would be something I think everyone can agree on.
This way, players will still need to play, on average, 100 games to get 10k GXP transferred, or they could pay the MC and transfer ALL 100k XP to GXP.
If I could get a dev to provide feedback, even if it's a "no, shut up, you're an *****," I'd be thankful.
And yes, I did just give you free reign to call me an *****. I won't even call you out on it, but to preserve the company's image, please do it in PM.

Just ask yourself why this weekend is a "double XP" weekend instead of a "double C-Bills" weekend and you know why there will never be a way outside of MCs to convert XP to GXP.

sorry disagree, the current system is fine. xp is easy to get unless the mech sucks and if it does using gxp or converting isnt that big of deal.

It's not as harsh a penalty as cracking open your wallet it seems.

Pony up! It's only money.

isn't that what is happening right now?

GXP is so hrad to get by playing. but its so cheap to just transfer it for cash

This has been suggested many many times... I think early on you could even do it pre-release. In the end though they settled on the MC style. You can either grind out the mech or pay to speed it up by transferring the exp. You can't just keep grinding one mech and transferring it at will to others.

I am hoping in the long run they let us purchase style items with the extra xp. But we shall have to wait and see.

Unless the mech sucks.
Like the cicada or spider with 4 ballistic slots, or anything that runs badly against ECM, or a player's planned playstyle. 100MC for a good premium-activated match WITHOUT double XP to mvoe to a mech that is completely useless is too high a price to pay.
