Unlocking Mechs and Purchasing Them Rant

So, I recently unlocked the Surge after many popups to purchase it at, I think, $89 USD.  I figured it was a crap bot so I waited till I unlocked it only to discover that it then cost 9375 A-Coins to really unlock it and implement it into my hanger.  LMAO!  ARE YOU KIDDING?  I knew that I was about to receive a "super duper rebated" option to purchase it at $50 later on so I'll wait on that.

This got me thinking and it kinda bothered me.  The whole process of buying anything in the game is pretty aggravating.  I mean, comon, people aren't that stupid.  If "unlocking" the surge in the XP bar really doesn't unlock it, then don't put the unlock icon on it.  Just put "9375 A-Coins".  Also, the "rebated" instant purchase option you get right after you "unlock" an item seems like used car salesman tactics.  It's like putting a $50,000 pricetag on a Toyota Corolla and then the car salesman coming out telling you he has a super once in a lifetime deal for $25,000.  Everybody figured the sales tactic out after the first few unlocks.  You don't need to keep insulting our intelligence throughout the entire game.  I think people will appreciate that and not feel like they are being tricked or deceived in anyway.   I know for me there's always a bad taste in my mouth every time I give you guys money.  I like many others will pay you $$$. Just be up front and honest about it.

I'm sorry to hear that you're disappointed, Pilot. I totally get it, but I would like to note that since we're still in beta, some prices might change. I hope you won't face it again in future.
