Please define everything and skyrocket high.

Meanwhile introduced into the game were Reward merits to directly buy items. Mission Architect tickets to buy random recipes. And most recently alignment (hero or villain) merits to directly buy any recipe in the game.

A large number of things have crashed hard in the past few months due to those game additions.

Inherent Fitness pool will be coming for everyone, but the Incarnate content coming in issue 19 is Going Rogue exclusive as well.

Going Rogue is the first paid expansion since City of Villains (which started out as a standalone game, but since they combined them it is effectively an expansion now). It also includes 4 new powersets that are only available by buying the expansion, they are: Dual Pistols, Electric Control, Kinetic Melee, and Demon Summoning (Mastermind primary).

Going Rogue is, in my experience, very much worth the money you pay for it, it gives you a lot more stuff to do (especially after i19 hits, which is supposed to happen later this month) and explores the "gray area" between hero and villain. Previously, you could either be the classic Superman-esque truth, justice and the Paragon way type of hero, or a Saturday morning cartoon villain. With Going Rogue you have the option to be something in between. Or even something darker.

Praetorian content is very dark and morally gray, and frequently forces you to choose between the lesser (or greater) of two evils, and very often neither choice is the "right" thing to do. A lot of people complained that the choices given to you aren't very heroic at all....but that's kind of the point. There is one particular arc where you are forced to kill one of two people, and aren't given the option to let them both live (storyline based, letting them both live would effectively end your character's story right there) I won't get too deep into it, but it's a really cool world to explore that explores morality a lot more than the regular CoH game. Tip missions and morality missions do the same thing, but there is usually a "right" and "wrong" thing to do, depending on what your alignment is.

Hero, Villain, Vigilante, and Rogue are the alignments. Hero and Villain are the classic "good guy"/"bad guy" that CoH/CoV have always had. Vigilantes are heroes who have no qualms about killing if it's necessary for the greater good. Rogues are villains who are doing it for personal profit rather than just for the sake of evil itself. (A Rogue can very much have a moral line they won't cross, villains have no such line)

A lot of people responding to returning players mention Going Rogue content as being new stuff, but frequently forget that not everyone will have it. A lot of people assume that everyone bought the expansion and take it as a given that they will have access to the content they talk about. But in actuality you have to buy Going Rogue to access a lot of it.
