I throw influence at Statesman and he throws back cookies. I throw influence at Ms. Liberty and she throws back pie. I throw influence at Back Alley Brawler and run, because he throws five day old Pillsbury biscuits that are harder than Sky Skiff's hull. Being cybernetic, I don't sleep, so I don't need a house. (You can always bathe in the fountains and rivers.) If you ration it well and keep a schedule, you can also live off the free danishes and doughnuts the tech stores give away during sales. Who needs a job?

Everyone with the talking about watching girls running in spandex from behind. You don't have to think about the butt when you're looking at how cool your whole escaped Freakshow recruit hero looks in an outfit Dreck only wishes he had. That said, my "main alt" is female, I expect people to refer to me as "she" even in response to OOC chat, and I think I do a pretty good job roleplaying the character. I avoid sexuality and it never comes up, and that's usually the most difficult part to roleplay. I never any problems with any of these things, so everyone complaining must be doing something wrong.

There would be NO complaining from me if a contact would warn me BEFORE I accept a mission that I will not be able to do it alone. THAT is the beef I have with the current state of this game. Accepting a mission and THEN find out I'll need a team just plain stinks of FORCED GROUPING.

It has been stated previously by the DEV's that contacts should let you know when a group will be necessary for a mission. If you get on a mission where it does not it is a bug and should be reported as such. It is not an attempt at force grouping just something slipping through the cracks.

What you're thinking of are missions where you have to deactivate glowies simultaneously. The post you're replying to implies that the relative difficulty of the mission should be stated before taking the mission, so they know not to take missions they can't solo (not ones where simply an extra body is required.) The easiest solution to this, obviously, is to allow the intentional failing of missions to remove them from your list. At least there is the hope (before level 45 or so) that you can street hunt until you outlevel the mission and can easily solo it - but then you outlevel the arc and miss a ton of storyline, taking us back to needing manual mission failure.
