In these MMOs, people play for a lot of different reason. I play to escape into another world that doesn't include judges and depositions and motions. I think a lot of people play to find some success that's missing in their real life.

Whatever the reason, you have to keep this stuff in perspective. I really wish they had never added PvP to CoH, because it brings out the worse in the player base. But now that they have, I think that people who play a lot and have more and better enhancers have a right to the spoils of their labor.

Remember its not their fault that Hami-Os are in the game. The developers put them there and based on Statesman's post, it seem like he's ok with the edge they give.

Well this reply has run on too long and I think I made my point.

In CoH you get to be judge, jury and executioner! I find you, Behemoth Overlord, to be guilty of the crimes of -
sacrificial torture
terrorist activities
pyromania
and bad one liners
your sentence, to be carried out by me at this very moment is EAT MY BROAD SWORD OF JUSTICE!

I'm glad PvP is being introduced, it adds a level of complexity and strategy to the game, which adds to its replay ability. And I'm not to worried about HO's to be perfectly honest. I'm an altaholic, I have 3 characters to 40, but none to 50, yet I'm pretty sure I'll have my share of success in PvP. Any one who knows their character well, plays smart and has a decent connection will be able to win some. No one can win them all however. If people are winning all, and if those people just happens to be full of HO's, I'm pretty confident the devs would step in to mitigate in some fashion that advantage.

In the meantime, PVP isn't even here, we don't really know how much of an advantage it will be. On paper it sure seems insurmountable. In practice though it may not be so huge. I vote we wait and see, and just enjoy the game for what it is.

I remember back in Issue 5 when every one and their mom made a pistol scrapper and just sat around Atlas Park doing the /twirlgun emote over and over spouting lines from Dirty Harry.

Wait, frickin time machine did it again! I just erased my parents! Hmmm, that means I erased mys....

Poor Voyeur... He did it again...

I remember when Super Speed was nerfed, it no longer gave defense and people whined and cried about how dangerous it was now, and how no one would ever use SS again!

I remember when Hasten was nerfed to have a longer recharge, and people whined and cried about how no one would ever use Hasten again!

I remember when Burn was nerfed, Accelerate Metabolism was nerfed, fire pets were nerfed, Smoke and Smoke Grenade were nerfed, caltrops were nerfed and on and on and on, and people whined and cried that no one would ever use those things again...

Boy, the more things change, the more they stay the same

Personally, I applaud Crytpic for making such reasonable changes that after the hysteria dies down, most reasonable people find out they still had a very useful and useable power left over. Way to go guys!

Example: WLed N0ob runs into a mob and tps us all in- after aggroing 10 groups along the way. We tell him not to do that. this is followed by lots of cursing and a quit.

Have you ever had the Teleport other power? It is a power that can be interrupted very easily. I find it highly doubtful that this "hypothetical" situation you describe could ever happen. I sincerely doubt you got any debt at all from this situation you gave us. No "noob" would have the defense necessary to stand in a group of mobs and teleport an entire team to him.

Other than that, yes some people used WL to get characters into their mid twenties and don't have a single clue. However, I know of 2 people who have been playing since the game went live, and still have no freakin clue how to play. You blame WL when you should be blaming stupid people. For some, WL was a chance to experience some new template they would never have tried before. For others WL was a chance to continue their stupid behavior with illogical builds that couldn't possibly survive on their own.

The solution to your complaint is easy. Learn how to identify idiots quicker and stop grouping with them. There is no need for Devs to give you an apology because you grouped with incompetent people.
