Uh yeah, sure.
Mostly i think it's more that some people think that many of the set bonuses found outside of purples are more useful than the set bonuses common to most purple sets. Builds that use every purple set that can be slotted instead of other sets usually do not perform as well as other more focused builds. But then again i think you were just making an inflammatory post for the sole purpose of trying to create some sort of forum drama. That's sort of cute and silly. *pats on Talen Lee on the head*

i would spend points to be able to do this. Especially if it included a set bonus list.

And most awesome builds are not filled with "Ultimate x" set bonuses unless they're extremely reliant on recharge bonuses. Even then purple sets are rarely worth six slotting.

Yeah, because SS works soooo well in tunnels. *pfft* Yeah, i don't use teleport in cramped maps except when it's useful. Like... i don't know... getting to the other side of a crowded fight to help teammates or line up cones. Or teleporting into the middle of a crowd to fire off a PBAoE or three...

i think about .05% of my alts use SS+CJ. Far more use teleport.

Only evidence is a video? Uh, i take it then that logging into the game and calling up power descriptions with detailed info for every power doesn't count?
Okay then.

i'm more than happy to provide definitions. Most will even be correct to the best of my knowledge.

It's standard 1080p HD resolution. My 27" monitor uses the same settings.

*facepalm*
Y'know though, this is exactly the reaction and level of insight i was expecting from you.

You: Dey never improves anything! Dey suxxor!
Someone else: Here's a fix and/or improvement coming soon.
You: Yeah, so what? Ain't nothin'.
*pause for a few beats*
You: Dey never improves anything ever!

And that's why i usually pay you no mind. (That and your writing style gives me a headache if it's more than the usual three or four sentence fragments.)

Banished Pantheon masks only come out during the day in Talos Island. There's a badge for defeating them.

The odds of that succeeding were a jillion to one.

Pretty much this.
i don't even begrudge people earning the Zookeeper badge in one tenth the time it took for some of my characters; it just gives me the option to use the "in my day we had to walk five kilometres uphill through waist-deep snow both ways" spiel. Besides, i also have several costumes with pieces that haven't been available to players for years. Which, i don't know, counts as earned glory, in some way, i guess.

Faathim: playername, I have come to feel that I can trust you. Here, have this stone that is psionimystically linked to a stone i hold. Just say the word engraved in it while holding the stone and we may speak.
*hands player a smooth ovoid stone with "poot" scratched on one side*
Player: Where's your stone?
Faathim: (looking uncomfortable) I am imprisoned, and must conceal my secrets from my jailers. It is... well hidden. Please, inquire no more about it.

*sighs* Yeah, he really seems to be missing a few clues. i suspect he just runs to the end of each of life's missions and clicks the glowie without reading the text.

Considering that there have been rude, arrogant posterior headgarments since the day the game launched, and VIP is just the new term for subscriber, and a subscriber is anyone who is paying monthly regardless of how long they've been playing or how smart they are, i don't see how a subscriber only server would be any guarantee of player quality. Which in itself can be pretty subjective.

Nah, it just took having extra free time and money to do that. And the amount it took had nothing to do with devotion, only location. A number of the events where they've handed out codes have been open to anyone who walked off the street and didn't require payment to enter, so you're saying someone who happens to live a couple miles down the road and pays nothing for the code except a couple hours of time is more deserving of it and loyal than fans who live on the other coast or Switzerland or Australia or Japan?

Obviously you didn't bother actually reading anything about CoH: Freedom then, which is an odd way to show your loyalty and devotion. The details of what the various levels and perks are have been repeated time and time again in multiple threads on the forums and on the main site.

Not to mention i've met many players who have been subbed a few months at most who are amazing players and i know several players who have been subbed for over five years who are barely adequate at the game. Nice people, but don't really get it when it comes to how the game works. Also, i know of jerks who've been around since launch and they're still jerks. i generally don't team with them since i care most about whether a teammate is fun.

Seriously, to establish a server of only friendly, skilled players would require hiring several dozen employees to monitor combat and chat logs to evaluate each account on an individual basis. i suppose you could cut it down to each monitor only having to review several thousand accounts in depth if you gated it by requiring several years of sub time first, but it's still an absurd assumption. That, or you were thinking servercorn magic would handle it.

And if they added a requirement that Exalted players write clear, correct English it would be limited to maybe a few dozen people. For example, neither Arcanaville, you, or i would qualify. (Although i suspect they'd catch you on the friendly and helpful clause anyway.)

Nah, it's a lack of caring and/or knowing simple strategies keeping them down. You don't have to spend much time with the market at all to make hundreds of millions. i have several alts who accidentally ended up with over a billion and a half on hand while i wasn't paying attention.

If you make a small effort you can rake in hundreds of millions a day with only a few stops at the market. Usually i only do that when i have something specific i want to do, like acquire sets to complete a build. The funny thing is that if you start playing the market to get the IOs you want for a build it's actually pretty easy to end up with far more inf than you started in addition to getting the IOs.

Considering how often i server hop it would be pretty useful.

The Market & Inventions forums right in these very forums regularly feature such offers.
The details of how the transaction is managed vary.

Well then obviously the next step is having the character creator put random combinations of words in the name box so that you can't tell from them having names like, "hjkgjkgjgj"...

My Defender at 50 routinely tears through enemies that would've been difficult at 20. The other day i soloed Scirocco (as only an EB) when i was trying to click a door to trick or treat and it instead took me to a bank mission. i just wanted to finish the costume badges, so i rushed to the bank and took the lobby goons out and started dropping various traps. When emo-boy made it to the lobby he almost melted. At 20 even a weaksauce EB like Scirocco would've been a challenge, or at least taken a bit longer.

Of course i have to acknowledge that a fair bit of that is abuse of procs. i've had Poison Trap one-shot minions, and unslotted it does no damage at all.
