    Nothing ever *HAS* to be believable when Magic and Superpowers are involved. Unless of course it's totally believable that an angsty teen could punch a hole in reality.

    I'm familiar with the fable of the Crow and the pitcher. Is it anything like that?

    Unless City of Heroes/Villains suddendly added Night Elves, Orcs, and Draenei, then no. No your not.

    So that people can aquire the "I subscribed to City of Heroes till the end of the world and all I got was this lousy badge" badge.

    When Positron actually replied to one of my joke "Demands" posts, appologizing for not being as awesome as I am.

    Second favorite:

    Back in the Beta for CoH/V, when I took my very first Travel Power (Super Jump), and used it for the very first time. That whole "Oh [CENSORED]! I can really jump THIS HIGH?!?" made me know that right then, I was gonna be with the game for the long haul.

    Runners up:

    The name reservation debacle back in CoH's beta. I still giggle at the whole "DEY TURK R NAAAAAAAMES!" bull[censored].

    The first time I got to use Gang War.

    The whole "Kill Skuls" stuff.

    Kiyotee being added to the Outbreak tutorial mission.

    Discovering that, amazingly enough, the Dev's DO listen. Even if we may not always agree with everything they do.

    Unfortunately it will only be available for one day, then the game closes down.
    The 93rd month will be the ability to play as Oddjob, leading to cries of "OMFG U HAXX!".

    The simple fact is that the people who are whining about it simply want to be able to get the badges in a way that does not personally inconvenience them. Heck, some people feel it's unfair that they should have to form Teams to run Task Forces and get the TF badges. Should we remove those, and give players a different way to earn THOSE badges just because they don't like running the Task Forces?

    Hell, I hate PvP. As far as I'm concerned, PvP is idiotic. But, as much as I want those badges, I am not going to sit here and whine to the Dev's about how they should make those badges available outside the PvP zone (Or take them completly out of the PvP zones) simply because it would inconvenience me. *ESPECIALLY* when there is *NO REAL PROBLEM* that needs to be addressed, other then this feeling of entitlement that certain badgers display.

    Quite frankly, I would be *far* more sympathetic if the people whining about this could give an actual reason that didn't boil down to "I want it, but I don't want to have to go into a PvP zone for it because I don't like PvP".

    That's why it would be good to have a back-up plan, in case telling people what to think or telling them to “shut up” doesn't work as a conflict resolution strategy. A back-up plan would be to remove the cause of conflict, which in this case happens to be the mixing together of people who have objectives that conflict with each other.

    Removing the cause of conflicts has a lot more distinguished historical record in its favor, when compared to the option to telling everybody to think the same thing and/or to shut up.
    Except that all "removing the conflict" will do is give certain people the incentive to whine more the next time something is put into the game or implemented in a way that inconveniences them, because they want the rewards without having to put in the effort. In this case, it'd be like giving everyone gold medals in junior football games because "we don't want to hurt their feelings", rather then teaching the kids that "sometimes you fail, but you need to just get back up there and let it motivate you to try harder".

    But I'll put it another way: The people who were upset over how Isolator was handled had a far better case then the people ******** about badges in PvP zones.

    Actually, better idea: The badgers can just get over it, and deal with the fact that, god forbid, there may be badges in the game that contain requirements that are inconvenient to them.
  19. I've actually suggested the NCSoft buy AEG's half of the rights for the CoH/V CCG and put it online before.
