I feel the new starting area is a good move. Though I do like the redside prison break, the change will bring a fresh start for an old tutorial. Most people skip the tutorial now as it is. Plus imagine you and a buddy are bashing badies but once you reach the end you part ways and become bitter rivals in pvp. So what if the hero turns out to be a mastermind. The alignment system will still work people are gonna want to switch sides for badges, tf's/sf's, and let's not forget villian bank missions are awesome. The real problem is making content pointless i.e. the alpha slot nolonger requiers doing the arc, capes and auras can be unlocked with reward merits, and vet rewards seem alot less prestiges. Those are the things that bother me. But then again what do I know.
