Oh, you mean like Vet rewards that will be able to be purchased if you choose to a la carte?

Because it's a business, and that's how you make money. They'll have to invest the time to learn to play, but if imho if they decide to throw their money at the game I have no problem with that.

You also don't come by what you have just by honest play, you're either farming (PvE or PvP) or using some form of exploits.

Hopefully, you're like I am and welcome new players and guide them as well as help them understand the system as it is. How to make money independently etc..

They already do! IO drops fall out of the sky for a reason. Craft them! Slot your character properly with them ( I do this all the time) If they don't suit the build, then craft them anyway and make some influ/infamy.

Sadly, your incoming gamer is not going to be so willing to do so. Hell, you're current average gamer isn't either. Time is money!

Hardly ignorant to the matter, I sold 2 for 3.2 bill just 3 days ago. You did that via networking though. Otherwise you rolled up on some rich random suckers. I should have elaborated, excuse me.

I fully understand supply and demand as well. As players it should be kept in the game as much as possible so we benefit in the long run. (You must've skimmed that part) i.e. a boycott. Play locally and buy locally etc... it won't happen and I understand that. Because greed drives us all.

But let's admonish the individual who suggested buying influ/infamy with micro-transactions. How dare him try to spend his hard earned money in game and have it reward us with dividends outside of our visual scope presently.

Oh, I fully understand I quoted it. But not with my OP which apparently eluded you.

And the quoting of your OP was what I still stand by. You're a pessimist, and as long as you approach change with a negative attitude you're never going to see positive results.

If the development team had your attitude, this game would be long gone and this to and fro of opinions would not be taking place.

Just some advice, if you want someone to hear you out and take your thoughts and opinions into consideration. You shouldn't be so quick to speak, rather listen and take theirs into consideration with respect and an open mind. Rather than discount as you do.

I'm sorry you think that PvP is going to die and your answer is the only solution. There were many before you who felt the same way. Again, I'm glad the development team don't have your attitude. But your thoughts have been taken into consideration and dully noted.

I can agree with this aspect in one regard. I would rather see those micro-transactions come back and benefit us all in the long run. Not all of us have 10 hours a day to toil while someone else pays the bills. So, make influence/infamy a pay to play as well. Life is a gentle balance. Those who enjoy the game shouldn't be put at a disadvantage either (especially with CoH Freedom on the horizon) to feel discouraged when they see these AH prices! That's hardly a way to get ppl to 'UP' to a subscription.

On the other side of this coin, just cap the market price on rare/purple/pvp IO's. There's two ways to drive them right out of business and return that revenue back to the ppl that matter. That's just an opinion, but a fair one.

I find it humorous that those who are against this idea, are probably those hoarding and driving up the prices on the market with salvage and IO's. Wouldn't you rather have a community of players able to access those items in whatever way they see fit to play on a level field?

P.S. I've always said since playing this game, one thing you can't buy at WW's is skill and strategy.

You're just being combative, I encounter people like you all of the time.

So, how I know you posted while I was posting. Simple: Sinny is my g/f and that monitor is a foot to my right and mentioned that you had already posted while I was in the process.

Not so mind boggling now, is it?

So, it may behoove you to read what others post and ingest it before you are so quick to respond. The most immediate and simple solution is giving us a zone on the VIP server. We will have free token transfers monthly as subscription players, and again it just makes good business sense.

At the very least, as another advocate of PvP change sooner than later I would think you could find the logic in this.

Actually, I was posting while you were posting, so that was in response to the first two posts.

And if you consider that lecturing, then you come from a defensive standpoint which is no way to approach a conversation or debate.

As it is, that is your opinion and you're entitled to such. As I am to mine and thank you.

Because from those I've talked to, they think it's the best place to gather for a true VIP zone experience. Especially considering that transfer tokens will come monthly, it's logical rather than spending money out of pocket. Not to mention you're asking more of the dev's to thread all the servers than just utilize a server that is already in the works.

You need to think about this from more parameters than just your own. Consider it from a 'code' standpoint, then you're only asking for more delay. Cross-server, that's ridiculous! That's like asking for cross-server incarnate trials because some don't have the population to run one at certain hours of the day/night. It just makes good business sense.

Hopefully in that dream, they give us that on the VIP server. At the very least, it's the best solution. Rather than debating this person from this server is better than so and so. We would have our own playground.

I'm willing to bet those who are already here would be there instantly. And for those attracted by CoH Freedom looking for that element, would be some of the first ppl to 'UP' to get access!

In this gaming era it is what ppl will pay for more than anything, IMHO.

Well, the original thread was speaking of this league. And that being said there are several in there to learn from who are participating.

Aside from Void and Lib, I consider Artic and Enigma to be elite PvPers. These are just the people I've seen PvP and a few of them I've known and seen PvP for years.

Why are you concerned about it?

It goes without saying that this was a next step after the 'boot camp' for a lot of the players to get more experience. So, obviously it's going to be more casual and less competitive as not to deter those who are new. Before this, they would have never entertained the idea of participating in PvP at all. Considering the whole objective since the first boot camp was to revive something that is otherwise dead on Champion.

I never compared this league to any leagues of the past, so no I'm not lying to myself. It has more to do with having some elite there to learn from and scrimmage or team with. I am aware there were some 'elite PvPers' to which are no longer playing the game. Albeit a shame they are gone, things since i13 have really made it less enjoyable for them I'm sure. Time goes on and games change (evolution or devolution) arguing this would be semantics and really get us nowhere positive.

I refuse though to participate in a debate of this person is better than that person. If you'll notice part of the rules in this league were implemented to avoid such negativity as it's counterproductive and achieves nothing worthwhile. I am glad that as a veteran PvPer you and others decided to participate in this league, and didn't consider it something 'beneath you'.

Yes, in the current league there are some very elite PvP'ers and happy to be there PvPing with and vs them. As far as comparable to skill of ones in the past, again the response is yes. They were elite then and they are still elite now, specifically some of the players in this league. Considering PvP itself has changed for many reasons over the years due to changes in the game itself, your point has no validity.

Nobody else here posting has to make a trial acct to post (in your case troll) a thread. Logic would dictate that it's your elementary school mentality and ignorance having to use the slurs that in your circle is considered 'witty'.

I'm quite certain the most special thing about you is that extra-chromosome you were endowed with upon conception. In conclusion, continue with your aimless rambling and mindless banter as I'm certain you will. Don't let it interfere with your e-love life though. I'm gonna go eat and try to get fat

I'll take your feelings into consideration in the future. I'll also give some friendly advice that you'd do yourself a great service not taking anything you read so personal.

It's just fun and sarcasm, sorry if that eluded you. I can get my 4 yr. olds crayons and draw you a picture next time if that would help.
