DarkGob

I'm glad at least one person got my point.

Fixed.

Papa spank!

Letting players purchase an "I Win" button would also get them more money from us, but that doesn't mean they're going to do it. And again, the discouragement of people creating alts (and maybe it wouldn't be the case for you, but it would be for some people) is just one factor, the main issue is with people suddenly having characters they don't know how to play. You know how after every major XP exploit (Winter Lords, Mito farms, etc.) the game gets flooded with people who don't know how to play their level 50s because they didn't actually start playing them until level 50? Yeah, it'll be like that.

Frankly, I have a hard time seeing how or why anyone could be so far into a character that they don't want to lose all their badges, yet they're only just now realizing that they don't like the sets. I made a Dark/Psy Defender back when GR went live, a Praetorian analogue to the Dark Ring Mistress, and I recently returned to her now that I have actual Carnie costume pieces to use. And my god, she is still pretty unpleasant to level. Fortunately, she's only level 19, so at this point I may just let her sit until Issue 22 and reroll her as a Dark/Psi Dominator. My point is that it shouldn't take you that long to realize you don't like a set, and because of that fact, it's not really that big a deal to just reroll.

I do like what you said on point 3 though, being able to choose from a rename or a transfer token through your monthly VIP reward.

Say that when the thread devolves into a political shouting match.

Neither of these things will ever happen. The devs have specifically stated that they don't want players doing this and they're quite right to do so. A Mind/Psi Dominator plays nothing like a Plant/Thorns Dominator, but if you're suddenly switching your powersets at level 35 you're could be in a situation where you don't know how any of your powers work (yes, this is less of an issue for veteran players, but this is a general case). Switching archetypes is even worse, a Defender and a Stalker are nothing alike. Both of these also discourage creating alts.

So never, then?

Yup, I'm dumb.

It completely cheapens the achievement. I like looking at my experience bar and seeing it completed.

Honestly do we really need more rewards for 50s? We have Incarnate stuff (Shards, Threads, Astrals, Empyreans), Reward Merits, Alignment Merits, Tickets, and you're still getting influence, prestige, salvage and recipes (and only 50s can use the purples).

As for Incarnate somehow "not counting", if that doesn't count then what will? The devs probably won't give any kind of post-50 reward that is decent and available to free players, especially if it's even remotely farmable.

Sure maybe but Hell No to the idea of a perpetually-unfilled experience bar.

It looks like that could be the case.

I could see if you

A) Used it without asking, were told to stop, only to keep using it

or B) Asked if you could use it, were told not to, then did it again anyway

or C) Asked if you could use it, got no answer (as you did), used it, were told to stop, then did it again anyway

then yeah you'd deserve to be kicked. But threatening a kick for even asking is really pretty rude, especially when you're just trying to help.
