A bug was causing this to happen this year.

Your attempt to deliberately misinterpret what I said is at best childish. My mention of RMT sites was to provide the only example of when a player would spend real money on influence.

The simple fact that someone chooses not to use the tools provided in the game to assist all players regardless of if they are Free, Premium, or VIP in acquiring enough influence to buy enhancements is a personal problem.

You are free to believe whatever you want but don't expect to spout those beliefs as facts without having other people correcting them.

And the current system is doing exactly that.

Any "punishment" you are perceiving is merely a figment of your imagination.

I only have two level 50 characters, one level 47, and of the others my highest is 38. Those characters are retired because I enjoy playing the lower level content. Once I get a character to a predetermined level I disable the exp. I seem to prefer the content in the level ranges of 20 to mid 30's.

I don't give a rat's patootie about A-merits because I never use them. I also don't need billions of Influence let alone hundreds of millions because I earn more than enough just selling my drops. I frequently convert it into Prestige for any one of my personal bases scattered across half a dozen servers.

I am at best a very casual player. Just ask Impish Kat or her hubby Rangle. I'm a member of many of their SG's and they can testify to how frequently they see me.

And yet even as casual a player as I am, I still manage to meet my enhancement needs as well as my prestige needs just by selling drops, running missions, and using the tools provided so I can advance at a rate satisfactory to my personal needs.

I think he wants more than a name change. For example unique werewolf and vampire costumes instead of standard Council outfits.

Your wife doesn't need real money to buy SO's. In fact you can't buy Inf with real money unless you violate the EULA and use an RMT site. She can earn inf by simply playing the game.

Pure fabrication. Players were successfully leveling up to 50 and slotting SO's for years before features like the Market, the AE, and IO's were added to the game.

No one is forced to buy anything.

Players can afford SO's just by selling their drops and what they earn by playing the game. Players can even disable earning xp so they can focus on earning inf and drops if they feel they are leveling too fast.

I currently have 150+ characters and only 30 use IO's and none use more than the basic IO's. And I only have 100 million inf total between three separate accounts.

They also want to avoid credit card fraud. Credit card companies charge them for every fraudulent charge that gets made. Furthermore if they submit too many fraudulent charges the Credit Card companies will cancel their business account and then players will have to find other ways to pay for their stuff.

If people did that they wouldn't see what the rude people were saying and they'd have nothing to get mad about.

That's for the devs to decide. If they think it needs to be adjusted they'll do it whether we like it or not. So again we should mind our own business.

And I don't find it hard to believe that it one of the intentions for the DfB trial is to give players an option to get past levels of content that have been the same for 8 years, and after they went and ripped out all the content out of Atlas Park and Galaxy City leaving players with only 2 story arcs that were boring to play after 3 days.

Yes they told us back in June when they first announced I21 Freedom that the Booster packs were going to be pulled before Freedom launched and the costumes, powers, etc broken up into separate purchases. If memory serves they were gone by the end of August just before they held that $1.99 sale.

Some people have bad taste. That's okay tho we still love you.

No it isn't. What you call the lack of definition is what makes the current Origins so flexible and gives us the freedom to exercise our imaginations.

1. Correction. You want an option to buy origins change in the store.

2. Not gonna happen any time soon. Origins have been linked to powers that cannot be respeced out of.

Pfft. Chicago has more. Just ask Jim Butcher.

So players that can only play the game during daylight hours get screwed during the Halloween event because there would never be any night cycle for them to go after the previously mentioned NPC's that only spawn at night?

How is that a good thing?

Oh and just out of curiosity, which real life day/night schedule would you propose the game uses since this game has players worldwide and it's always day or night somewhere.

So who gets screwed in addition to the daytime players? The Europeans, the Aussies, or the NA players?

Just something to think about.
