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.
