The main problem is that the OP's suggestion didn't go far enough. Here is what he should have suggested:

1) When you start playing CoH, you are assigned a group of 7 perma-teammates. The "Quit Team" button will be removed. You may not quit your team. EVER. This will save loads of time and will help everyone realize the truth of the joy of teaming. (Also, it is polite to refer to your perma-teammates as "comrades". EDIT: except for whoever gets the star; refer to him/her as "Der Führer".)

2) Because it may take a period of adjustment for people to realize how fun this really is, you will not be permitted to quit the game. EVER. NCsoft will just keep billing your credit card. Because it's fun. Even if you don't know it.

I am confident that these sensible proposals will, with time, come to be embraced by the proletariat, errr, player base.

The completion of all four arcs gives me enough Vanguard Merits for one, maybe two, at most three pieces, out of what looks like a dozen. There is no way I can get enough Merits by just running Rikti content, I have to grind my *** off (here's a cool mental image for you) to get enough merits for a full set. That, or run Mothership raids that I plain never see happening. I saw two last year, and I saw one a couple of months ago. Maybe I'm just missing them, but I'm not a fan of grinding repeatable Borea missions, so once I'm done with the arcs, there's no reason to hang out in the War Zone. AND they are level-locked, to boot.

The Roman gear is another major PITA. OK, the Romulus sword and shield I can kind of see needing to beat Romulus to get them, but basic Roman armour? And even the bloody Roman swords and axes need access to Cimerora to unlock. Instead, at character creation I have to make do with a Viking axe. Apparently, the Romans were cooler than the Vikings. Otherwise, why would their gear be higher level content?

I am in favour of making costume unlocks account-wise for two reasons. One is I get costume pieces at character creation, which is G-r-r-r-reat! Another reason is that this allows custom costume piece unlocks to be REALLY hard to get. For instance, I wouldn't bat an eye at the Vanguard costume unlocks if they were account-wise. Over the past year, I would simply have unlocked the whole set piece by piece by piece. And it would have MEANT something. Here is this long, hard trudge that took multiple characters and multiple run-throughs to complete, but it's WORTH IT! I now have the costume pieces unlocked, and this epic struggle came to something.

Or think about it in terms of Roman gear. I would not actually mind having each ITF unlock only a single piece, or unlock a few pieces at a time, if those pieces were unlocked account-wide. Then I would both have incentive to run it multiple times: I want the full set, but I would also feel I accomplished something meaningful each run. Oh, sure, my character may not be able to use that gaudy Roman helmet, but that's OK. I now have it unlocked at character creation and on all other characters, so the chances of at least one of them having use for it are quite great.

To me, this both serves to create a feeling of accomplishment and removes the trudge needed to get an item EVERY DAMN TIME.

I can't afford IT either. How does that enter your equation? If I want something spiffy to help me with my character's performance, I can earn it in the game just as easily as ever. If I want something extra to make a costume look just perfect - I can save up and every few months get a new doodad for that. It does not affect the performance of the game/character.

RMT still requires "rm" ... you do know that means "real money" right? A lot of us are sadly lacking in this economy, and I'm glad I paid for a full year of sub for this game when I still HAD that money. If it comes down to it, I would imagine more people would spend their 15 bucks for another month of play time, rather than fitting one character with however much influence *and then not being able to play the game*...

And this post here? this is a shameless bump disguised as a reply.
