I would agree with the general sentiment but, for most AT's, I would take Assault instead of Maneuvers. I would take Maneuvers for a defender, controller or mastermind. Of course, I generally take the entire leadership pool on all my defenders.

err... sort of. There is a participation metric but if the OP were not 'participating' enough, he would be getting 10 threads, not commons. Since he's getting commons, you're right - it's RANDOM and the OP has had bad luck.

This part is flat-out WRONG. If you sit by the door, you'll get the 10 threads 'reward' instead of a salvage roll.

It's WAY too easy to get to 50 for any reward of that magnitude (30 days of VIP). Frankly, even though 50 is the level cap, I don't see a need for any more reward at 50 than we got at 40 or 30. Just like when you hit 40, you can continue playing the character once you hit 50.

Oh, come on!
Ghost PROTOCOL.

It doesn't - not by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, it allows a maximum of 36 members and you can succeed with half that.

But he didn't pay for them. You misread it.

Only issue with that theory is that ubiquitous is an English word.

No, you're misreading both posts. He states that he grabbed the names FOR his friend. Also that he doesn't see a problem in selling them. He did NOT say that he sold them *TO* his friend.

Frankly, I think they're a bunch of scum. Remember back when cable television came along and one of the big selling points was no commercials? We had to pay for it to avoid the commercials. Now we pay more than ever and have just as many commercials as we ever did. So let's not talk about upholding bargains.

Is it bad that I knew this?

Email isn't a great way to communicate, now that we have all the account stuff in there. The word EMAIL is always red when I log in, since there are emails with reward items attached. How would I ever know if someone sent me an email? I don't even open it unless I need to send an item somewhere.

Well, not really a good example. You can run that TF on a team with no tanks, brutes or scrappers and everyone using DO's.

And that's where we diverge - the matter of a fee.
When I'm selling something, I'm transacting business. I'm not being helpful. Of course, then we can get into a grey area - if you're selling something CHEAP, you're being SOMEWHAT helpful. Just not as helpful as when you give something away.

When I offer to earn the healing badges for other peoples supergroups, the first question is how much do I charge. I don't. I do it to be helpful. I don't like that people with solo or small SG's are effectively locked out of getting the medical aux items if they don't play h34lz0rs. THAT is a service to the community. I help them with something that they can't do on their own, and I get ZERO personal gain from it. That's what makes it 'serving' the community. You're putting the community ahead of yourself. Selling something is putting yourself first.

Having said that, as I mentioned earlier, I don't have a problem with the selling aspect. Most of the time, you must put yourself first (in real life or anywhere else) since no one else will. But if you put yourself first ALWAYS, that makes you a small person.

Well, I have Win7 pro 64 bit, CoH, Photoshop, Microsoft Office, 2 browsers, 3 email apps, and various other junk. This is taking up 46GB.

That's an interpretation that assigns human traits and motivations to the cat.
Another interpretation is that the cat was making one sound because it felt threatened. When it noticed its human nearby, its emotional state changed and it made different noises.

Yeah..... and here we are in a computer game forum. I guess that makes it clear which group we're in.

You have to walk? I thought they only made the noobs.... umm... forget I said anything.

I wish. My scrapper is waiting for defense, resistance and heal sets.

Technically, only a government agency knows.... oh, you're right. Everyone knows.

Learn to read. You quoted my post and then completely misrepresent my position right below it. I don't have a problem with selling names. I was criticizing characterizing it as a 'community service'.
