OR you could support someone else's desires even if you have no interest in them simply for the fact you'll be helping someone else find happiness even if you have nothing to gain from it yourself besides the satisfaction of making another human being happy. It costs you nothing and in a small way makes the world a better place by showing support for your fellow human being!

/supports alternate animation for jab!

Well... technically speaking Doctor and Dr. are the same thing... Miss and Ms. however are not. Miss denotes an unmarried female. Ms. denotes a female whose marital status is unspecified.

The more you know!

I'm going to quote you again... read YOUR OWN WORDS... and then see if you can figure out why I have issue with them... here's a hint... it's not because I dislike teaming or even content that requires teams.

In that one post you basically said "anyone who doesn't like to play the way I like to play probably shouldn't play this game" and frankly you're not the only person to ever pull the old "it's an mmo you have to team har har" line as if it somehow is this known logical fact that should be expected. It's not never has been never will be. And telling other players "this mmo isnt for you" is tantamount to telling them to stop playing them game and denying revenue to Paragon Studios which hurts us all.

I'd like to point however that the limited palettes for what you consider "thematically correct" for "dark" powers are actually BRIGHTER than a "bright" option would give you. The limited "dark" palette is dull and flat. Any color you use is a pastel and so soft and wishy washy. A "bright" option using a dark color can actually look rich and powerful. Consider warshades. They use negative energy powers but their powers are of a "bright" palette yet still dark and negative themed.

I'd would honestly ask you to reconsider being so unwilling to simply give us the options WE feel are appropriate instead of forcing us to accept YOUR (as in the devs not just you specifically) vision of what should be appropriate.

I am unable to customize my pain powers properly because they are stuck witha "dark" palette. A bright sharp red seems much more "painful" to me than the dull pastel looking grey/red I am stuck with currently. Again please reconsider this.

A fantastic example of how great a "dark" power can look with a "bright" option is the Soul Tentacles from the Soul Mastery PPP's vs. Tenebrous Tentacles from the dark sets.

I will never understand how "massive multiplayer online role playing game" somehow translates into you are forced to team to get anything done to some people. To me it simply means the world is a living thing with more than one person playing in it at the same time. Nowhere in the term MMORPG do I see anything about teaming AT ALL.

It can stack. It's worth is determined by how badly you need help managing endurance. If you feel like you're sucking wind all the time it couldn't hurt.

Just like the runes aura is what I had in mind

This sums up my own build philosophy as well... Only builds that are high recharge reliant get considered for purple love.

I'll try to answer in a way you might find acceptable:

The answer is as far as I can see, the devs aren't "crapping" on anyone. The company is simply investing much more into content production than they ever have before and thus needs to recoup those costs as well as make a profit. My subscription cost now has not gone up or down. But what I am getting from the subscription cost has increased though and my options for extras that aren't part of my subscription have vastly increased compared to before Freedom.

For example: I want Street Justice and a costume bundle but I don't have enough points right now and money was tight this month. But I will have enough points once my next stipend arrives. Those things I want are sort of like the old booster packs we paid extra for but now I can simply be patient and accrue points that come from subscription to save me any additional cash expenditure.

That's an example of something extra I am getting from my subscription now that I didn't have before. Prior to Freedom my subscription allowed me access to the game and paid for future development and maintenance of the servers. These things don't magically change when changing to a hybrid payment model. Those servers still need to be maintained and it costs money to do so. The change in model does not mean the devs are obligated to give every new "booster pack" away without cost to subscribers. Especially not at the pace at which they are now producing them.

This content is being produced at an incredible pace compared to before Freedom and thus there's a certain cost in development that must be recouped. That is why every little new thing cannot be given to subscribers for free. The company must not only recoup their investment but also make an acceptable level of profit to their share holders to justify the increased investment costs. The fact that the company is still producing content that comes included in the subscription at a similar pace to before the change in payment model is a testament to the value of the current subscription.

Basically the "booster pack" portion of the game development has been expanded dramatically. And "booster pack" style content has always cost extra even for subscribers. I hope that perspective answers your question.

Even immob resistance does SOMETHING though. No matter how inconsequential we may think that is. But a +healing bonus does NOTHING when you have no powers that heal.
