    That said, the new content is getting much harder and that makes these kinds of tactics less common. Yes, the Apex and Tin Mage have been run extremely fast, but we're talking highly optimized builds doing it. Sheer difficulty has curbed some of the speedsters.

    Luckily, there are people that do like to run TFs casually, and you may be able to find them on your server's global channel, or start your own TFs with it being known that it's a casual run and not a speed run.
    In addition to global channels, I also suggest trying Server Forums. Assuming one has the luxury of scheduling these things in advance.

I use the auction house to sell things I earn constantly, as I have referenced at least twice in this very thread when speaking of purple invention recipes.

    I want to kill lots of dudes, get my boosts, and once in a while beat up a hero. Why am I wrong? What part of that is not what this game is about?
    If you engage in marketeering a few minutes a day(meaning 5-10 max), you can make billions upon billions. Which will help you kill even more dudes faster.

    There are a lot of threads explaining how.

    I ask: why should the devs base their future design decisions around someone who simply refuses to use the content they already provided in the past?
    They shouldn't.

    You know what happens when you assume?

    If, for whatever reason, you play at off hours, and have trouble finding a Task Force because you refuse to play on a higher population server, that is one hundred percent your fault.

    And if there are that many people that share your problem, why don't yall just team up?

    To me it seems like you are the outlier here, which means you(not everybody else) should change something.

    Same result, opposite reactions. We're pretty simple.
    If I were in the devs shoes I would set it high knowing full well I intended to lower just to get the positive reaction and good will of the players.

    Maybe on the lower population servers. Maybe. I'll concede that point simply because I abandoned Victory years ago and moved to Freedom.

    If you can't start a TF on Freedom or Virtue, that is your fault.

    Then switch to a busier server. If you're already on Freedom or Virtue and can't find a team, you're doing something wrong.

    If you refuse to use a busier server, that is your fault for limiting your options.

    There has been absolutely zero indication to think WST is temporary. Multiple places it has been stated the WST will change every Tuesday.

    Usually, TFs I've been on have taken 2:00 to 2:30.
    The older Task Forces commonly take multiple hours. The newer ones, not so much. That is a sign of a poor team.

    And no, I don't want you to invite me to your speed run. I'd be no better than a door sitter, and I'm not willing to be a door sitter.
    Once again you are limiting your options. I'm starting to find it amusing that you dislike how long getting the very rare alpha slot will take you when you refuse to do anything to speed up the process.

    That's what happens when you intentionally limit your playing options.

    Good point.

    What I have noticed is people often think something is either stupid strong(like a decked out /SD scrapper), or it sucks. To me, that is just idiotic way of thinking. There are more possibilities than the two extremes.

    If you insist on limiting your options, it is completely your fault when attaining the very rare alpha slot takes you an extremely long time.

    I have a few issues that you need to fix now.

    1. Dude, where are my donut sticks? I've been craving them for like two days.

    2. There needs to be a section dedicated to me. We all know I deserve it. Why hasn't it happened yet?

    3. Too many people can't purple out their warshades, especially the casual player. Broken.

    4. Todd McShay has the Cowboys drafting a defensive end with the first pick. Why? Did he not see our old offensive line last year? You need to mod his post before Jerry Jones reads it and gets a stupid idea(probably too late for that).

    5. See #2

    6. Loyalist or Resistance? This is important. We need to know if you're a patriot and support our savior Emperor Cole or if you are treasonous scum. Which is it?

    7. Where do babies come from?

    8. First character to level 50? AT and powersets please.

    9. Why won't Ms. Liberty call me back?

    10. SEE #2!!!!!!!!

    I guess that is all for now. Welcome to the boards!
  15. I get most of it, but what is the denial about shield?
  16. I approve of these changes. Though what is the typical price of that Panacea IO?

    I like the way you think.
  20. Usually if forced to pick I would take the Scrapper. But I have in the past intentionally picked a Stalker over a Scrapper just to irk annoying know it all team members.

    I wanted to post the comic link in the other thread. But I couldn't post the link to the My Little Pony comic there since it was locked because My Little Pony isn't a comic.

    That logic, as you have explained it, doesn't make sense. Could you expand?

    this goes along with people requesting dark miasma as a control set.....

    i'm all for proliferating every powerset to every APPROPRIATE archetype, but neither of the above make that cut....
    Pain Domination is already on blue side thanks to GR. Just sayin.
