Dude, thats just their way of marketing. This ability will attract many players to buy this mech. When Plarium reaches the targeted amount, they will nerf it by saying and I quote "It was done based on the feedback from the community". There will always be a scapegoat. They have yet to fix the ingame issues and they havent opened up about it. They are just milking us players.
My advice to you is "If you spend here and there and on this piece of a mess (I wanted to use another word, but it will be against the forum rules), stop doing that and try to play other games, There are a lot of good games to play." Take it from me, I regret it. The developers are becoming worse than Pixonic.
The saddest thing is that the community managers has to endure all the wrath of the community for the developers screw ups.
