It would be a shame if it was just another patch for AE farms . . . Although, I would enjoy a global salvage storage for each paid account of somewhere between 300 to 1,000 capacity, I feel certain the devs won't do that for us, even though it would allow us to spend more time playing the game, and less time jumping from character to character to see which one has the salvage we need. Recently, some common invention salvage on the Black Market and Wentworth's has been going for over 1 million each. If people could store more salvage, perhaps by having the already existing Vault locations as a global salvage storage interface, that would help considerably.

They haven't announced it is definitely I19, but it does seem very likely. The only other thing that it could possibly be is a fix for an AE exploit that is currently being, well, exploited.

The other two pvp IO's are of dubious value to the build for the Inf (for even considerable less Inf). Likely I'll slot either a +def IO generic or a Winter's Gift +slow resist in CJ and a Numina's Heal IO in PP instead.

4 Performance Shifter in Stamina and 3 Miracle plus 3 Regenerative Tissue into Health. (slots allocated to Brawl and Rest respectively)

Or are you just saying that it does affect everyone but that the net effect of exploits and those who use them is positive? Because that's suspiciously like what it sounds like you and some others here are saying, and that notion is incredibly stupid.

Once again, I'll try to be as clear as I can. People who initiate and propagate exploits should be banned. People who participate in exploiting should have their stuff taken away. People who try to justify exploiting, whatever idiotic rationale they come up with, do not have the long-term health of the game at heart and their opinions in this arena should be summarily disregarded.

When I was younger, I heard a story once (probably an urban legend) about a man who suffered such agonizing migraines that he finally gave up. He shot himself in the head. As luck would have it, though, he lived and managed to destroy the part of his brain that was causing the migraines, and went on to live a long and happy life. I also heard a story (probably also an urban legend) about a man who was so despondent that he went to the roof of a skyscraper and jumped off. A strong updraft caught him, though, and blew him all the way right back to the roof that he had moments earlier jumped off of. He was so moved by the experience, believing that it was divine intervention that saved him for a higher purpose, that he devoted the rest of life to helping others who were thinking of taking such tragic action.

Based on these stories, one could surmise that if you have a headache or are feeling a little down, you should shoot yourself in the head or jump off a building. These notions should be ridiculed for how foolish they are, as should be the notion that exploits are somehow good for the game or shouldn't be addressed in a manner that keeps similar activities from occurring again.

[Tell] -->: And were back to spamming, Let me ask you did i send you like 10 messages to join my SG? NO. I sent you one. That is not spamming - that is a general question

I admit I got a bit out of hand with my responses but I just hate sarcastic jerks

Oh and also, who here calls asking someone to join your SG threw a tell 'Spamming'?

What do you mean by trial keys? Is it as limited as the free trial?

And while those powers are interesting it is still steep plenty of expansions I have paid for that price had loads more content, and I am no really interested in those power sets anyways, and yes the poster above pointed out on cyber monday but like I said that is a while from now.
