Guess what, trading between players without using the market has always been a legitimate part of the game. Deal with it.

Why is this a bad idea?

Gee, for only $10 bucks I can get a ton of influence and a bunch of merits I can use to cherry pick the most expensive recipes on the market to sell for even more influence. Then I transfer the loot to another character and delete the $10 dollar scrub.

Yeah no one would ever abuse the feature like that.

Actually Power has summarized a suggestion someone else has made in another part of the forums. He brought it here because this is where it really belonged.

He gave credit to the author and has stated he is against the idea himself. He also did a great job making sure it was easy to understand.

With all due respect I find the idea unacceptable regardless of level.

Great job on making a coherent suggestion.

Now here's one reason why auto-leveling is a bad idea. I'm sure you have seen the posts made by people claiming the game is dead because they can't see anyone in the zones. This is because the game is heavily instanced (people are inside missions).

So if the devs were to add auto leveling the low level zones would lose everyone that chose to use it, which would make those zones appear even emptier. If it was restricted to a vet reward then zones like Atlas Park would lose the games most experienced players.

The only palatable compromise I've seen suggested in another thread was a vet reward that allowed the creation of 1 single character per account that could be auto-leveled.

This isn't taking into consideration all the extras people would start demanding and abusing.

People will want free inf and merits to buy enhancements and there will be people which will not think twice about paying $10-20 bucks so they can strip the character of loot and use it on another character. It's basically legalizing RMT which they can't get banned for.


But again great job on making an understandable post Power.

And the people that like to play that way aren't going to be loyal customers. They get bored quickly and move on to other games. I want the devs to cater to their loyal customers. It's the loyal customers that pay the bills here, not the flash in the pans.

We already experienced how the lookieloos react when they were able to get to level 50 in a day when the AE came out. They quickly got bored, started complaining and quit. By September they were gone.

You seem to be handling the disagreement well. Just make sure not to take any negativity from the people that will disagree personally. This topic could get very ugly because while the idea seems to make sense it actually can be very harmful, and we have a lot of people who are passionate about the welfare of the game.

No, A dumb player is one that believes that the build of another player determines the success or failure of a team.

I was thinking Lawyers could be added to undead, robots, and demon summoning.

Oh you're referring to the microchip the CIA implanted in my characters skull after they recruited him into the blackest of black op programs. The same program that was hijacked by an unscrupulous traitor who then proceeded to use the brainwashed sleeper agents in that program to unwittingly do his evil bidding. And when GR goes live my character will finally be able to break that conditioning, return to Paragon City and bring that traitor to justice.

There's no reasoning with build nazi's.

If your looking for technical help you should be posting the tech section.

I agree with FW on this. I bought a friend a 60 day card for xmas to rekindle his interest for GR. I used Amazon and paid extra for the fast shipping.

I remember disputing that guys lame arguments.

I'm assuming by team sweep you mean everyone dies which is patently false. The only team wipes I've seen were when the players went hairing off in all directions instead of sticking together in one group and concentrating their firepower.

All it takes for a successful sewer team is teamwork not a balance of archetypes. Anyone that claims otherwise has no idea what he or she is talking about. I've lost count of the number of times I've done sewer runs on concept teams. All dark/dark scrappers or all blasters for example and we mowed thru everything without a single player death we worked our way thru the sewers starting in Atlas Park and came out in Boomtown.

I'll be honest and admit that I have no idea when the actual activation date was for those players accounts. I didn't ask. For all I know the accounts could have been activated in 2004 and lay dormant until this past weekend.

I'll also admit that it's only my opinion that most vets know an AP sewer run doesn't require a perfect team.

And I was on Virtue when I saw the broadcasts and checked badges.

Oh one more thing, I didn't scorn them. I said nothing to them in game and only voiced my opinion here away from the game. I let them to play the game the way they wanted.

Welcome to the dark side.

Nicely said.

Or it might have something to do with the fact that the devs have said for years that requiring players to get a character to level 50 was a bad idea they never should have implemented. The only reason they made the same requirements for VEATS was balance. Now the have decided to correct their error. They may have chosen level 20 for the Praetorian stuff because they intended to lower the level requirements on Epics the whole time.

At least you had the opportunity to cough/sneeze on the food of the A-holes that ticked you off before you delivered their meals.

NEVER PISS OFF THE FOOD SERVICE PEOPLE!!!

Say please and thank you and always leave a nice tip. Yoy may not remember them the next time you eat there, but they will remember you.

As others have said it's basically up to personal choice. I personally waited a year before getting rid of the 16,000 odd pieces of base salvage/components I inherited. Their characters are still on the roster even tho they haven't logged on in 314-524 days.

I'm sorry to be the one to inform you but your Master Account could very easily have been banned. The issue is explained here.

I saw some twit on Virtue trying to form an AP sewer team yesterday that said "No Blasters or Scrappers".

I believe that these totally clueless individuals are AE babies that returned for the 2xp weekend then discovered they couldn't get 2xp in the AE. Having no idea how to actually play the game they try to form their idea of the perfect team.
