It DOES allow you to unlock a character slot occupied with a character you can't play.

We have two direct competitors, actually, and every single video game (both MMO and not, PC and console and handheld) out there is an indirect competitor. If someone is playing a game, they're not going to load up a second game to play it at the same time. At best they will divide their game time between the two (or more) games, which - again - means competition.

WW is not a social space. It's a "stand around talking to no one because a gigantic UI is covering everything on your screen and you're hunting for the last three pieces of salvage to finalize your fancy IO build, then leave when you're done" space. On no server is WW, or has WW ever been, a place to stand around chatting with random passersby. Sorry, Goat.

EDIT: Also, it's a terrible inf sink because in order to be useful, it would need to be bigger; as you've suggested it, a level 50 kills one minion and fuels enough inf for like 300+ transactions. Useless. If it were a useful inf sink amount, people would complain about double dipping, and rightfully so, since you have to put in so much money/time just to get access to the slash command.

On the contrary, I accounted for three tokens into T9VIP.

Just FYI, it's less than $500.

You need 34 tokens to start slotting in T9VIP. You need 37 tokens to fully slot out a T9 costume set.

Everyone starts with a token. A VIP will have one more token by the end of their month, so that's two tokens. We COULD value their month at the highest possible dollar value, $20 for the game card (which are ridiculously hard to find now) - more likely $15 for a standard retail month.

Buying points the first time gets you one token, that's three total. Buying the $100 bundle gets you 8 tokens, for 11. Buy the $100 bundle three more times for 24 more tokens, that brings you up to 35 tokens. Buy the $15 bundle twice for two more tokens and a goodly portion toward another token.

This gets you to T9 and three tokens socketed in for a full T9VIP costume set.

$15 VIP month
$100 bundle x4
$15 bundle x2
= $445, not "over $500". A considerable savings. Still a very large amount to spend in one sitting, but MUCH lower than your exaggeration. Minus $30 if all you're doing is getting to T9 (technically, you will be T9 with a leftover token).

And this is only true for a brand new player, because players with old accounts will be higher up the reward tree.

Scooped by the redname making the changes:

Not every TF can be duo'd, let alone solo'd. There are some with simul-clicks, such as the Hollows trial and one of the Shadow Shard TFs.

Nope. WAD *and* WAI.

I would likely get this on every one of my characters. I love Paragon Protectors way beyond reason. I really have no idea why I do, either; they're not very compelling, to be honest. I love 'em anyway.

Nope, the difference was less dramatic. The metallic version used to be a "manually" reflective costume set, in that it didn't actually reflect the world around the character, it used cheating pretend to reflect surroundings. It still had the lines.
