GG was being sarcastic.

It isn't the place, so it did deserve it. Come on, man, do we have to have a complaint in every thread? Can't at least one be positive? It really does reek of ingratitude.

Given the recent volume of posts in which you've attempted to push your ideas, I beg to differ.

But mostly I just laugh. There are few topics on which the whole of the forums can be united. I salute you, sir, for adding another.

Are you actually saying it's not your fault you slotted a defense debuff HO into a defense buff power?

But Honey Badger don't care.

And there are also times when it's smartest to say nothing. Often all a red response will do is fan the flames harder to no productive gain.

Actually that's not true. 5 super packs are worth way more than any of the other repeatables, both for people who like consumables and for people who don't like consumables but like what's in the packs.

Well, that's coincidental.

Until I see a successful MMO that does not involve doing the same thing over and over again, yes, I will continue to believe this is true. People may not LIKE grind, but oh my yes it's necessary.

Huh. I learned something today.

Now that's more like it.

What side do you pick more than others?
Blue, but only because it's easier for grouping and fast-track leveling. When I want to play around and enjoy story arcs, I go redside.

What play style do you prefer?
Even split between Brutes and Scrappers. I'll play other ATs here and there (love my Crab and MM) but most new characters I make are melee of some kind.

What power set(s) do you favor?
I generally try to avoid repeating powersets or playing favorites. That said: TITAN. WEAPONS.

What zones do you like the most?
For some reason, I always tend to think of Sharkhead Isle as home. I don't even know why; it's the dingiest and least attractive of all the Rogue Isle city zones. But when I'm redside it's the zone I gravitate to most often. Blueside I like Founders Falls; because of the central canal it seems to have more character than most zones.

Do you usually play as a male or female (word of hatred) ''toon''?
Male characters predominantly. I tend to see my characters as idealized representations of myself, so it's hard to feel comfortable with female chars. Plus, every time I try to make a female character, I always go in with the intent to make her fanservicey (using the old "if I'm going to be staring at a butt I want it to be a nice one" logic) but I always get way too embarrassed about it. I only recently succeeded at making a female character I like to look at but isn't whorrible.

Views on Role Playing?
I used to be a heavy RPer years ago. These days I don't have the energy for it, but I do still like working out character backgrounds and personalities, and in general I find RPers to be the most pleasant sort of people to hang out with, though the risk of drama queens is high.

Servers?
100% Virtue.

Given that the Obama administration has recently come out against the bill as it currently stands, if that were true before it probably isn't now.

I'm really baffled at this.

If I spend an A-merit on 5 random recipes hoping to get a recipe that normally costs 2 A-merits, that's a gamble.

If I spend $10 on a new powerset, that's not a gamble.

It seems like it's just the fact that it costs real money that offends you. That's your prerogative, but that doesn't determine whether something is gambling or not.

No, it's called a discussion with differing opinions. It's simply a different point of view. It's not a gamble if you don't care what you get. The packs will provide a lot of goodies at highly discounted rates; this is a certainty. No matter what, it's a good deal for me.

Heh. Okay, sure.

If you purchase a pack desiring nothing but, say, the Scrapper proc ATO or a costume piece, then sure, it's gambling, because you might not get what you're expecting to get.

If, however, you purchase a pack expecting to get some random interesting/useful things with maybe one or two really neat items, then it's not gambling, because a pack will deliver every time, even if you don't want or need everything in the pack.

Probability is funny like that. It depends a great deal on knowledge and intention even when the actual action goes unchanged.

Also you have no business referencing a dictionary when you don't get rabblerouser right.

Given that heroes and villains each have their own contacts and story arcs in DA, it's not exactly a co-op zone so much as a single zone where all the action is.

No, without enough happy customers there is no game.

You can't please everyone, but you can please enough people to turn a profit. It really doesn't matter what any one player wants.

I don't care if it is or not. Not everyone believes gambling to be immoral or evil. Quite a large portion of the population has no problem with it, in fact.
