My question is who is going to have to pay for the base. Would it be just the SG leader? If so that would mean in order for him to collect from the rest of the group some influence for rent, he may find his SG dwindling in a hurry. Other than that issue I really don't see the problem. I barely spend a small portion of influence on enhancements and when i do it is only every five levels. As far as not having tradeskills and other boring content I say hurray. No more fighting some dumb animal hoping that it drops some ultra rare metal ore so that I can attempt to forge a sword, that of course will never happen even if my skill is 200. As far as paying for a new game, quite frankly COH is one of the cheapest MMO's out there. I played everquest for about 3 years and every single expansion and add on had to be payed for. Want to be a frog you gotta pay, want to be a cat; gotta pay, want to enjoy the game like everyone else seems to be by going treasure hunting in a specific dungeon; gotta pay. So I say you should be thankful we have had 4 expansions with a fifth on the way and have paid for nothing extra. Personnally I can't wait to go out and pay good money for COV and not just because it lets you have a supergroup base.
