    No, I think the point is that when someone is forced to act a certain way, it's not an issue of that person's morals. Morals imply free will.

    Actually I was thinking something more along the lines of an ignore list. Something client side. Right click a drop, select "filter" from the drop down menu, and it'll be added to your auto-delete list. It's not really that complicated a concept.

    Ah, because they don't fill EVERY request, they don't listen to feedback. Gotcha.

    Congrats. But, not counting places like the Godiva store that only sells chocolate, I haven't seen one myself between 4 fair sized cities in over a decade. :-/ Shame, too. Seems they're the only place to buy fruit flavored hard candies that aren't Jolly Ranchers anymore.

    *Shrug* In my experience, the guys who actively try to "move into the female mindset" are the ones who do the worst at it. Contrary to popular male belief, women aren't aliens from another planet.

    Personally, I don't get the "I'm not one so I can't RP one" mindset. You're not a alien/superhero/elf/whatever, either.

    The point is still valid no matter who the target of your delusion of chastisement is. Disagreeing and pointing out reasons why it's unlikely is not chastisement.

    Not necessarily. Inventory can still easily fill up with "good" drops that aren't filtered out. By your logic, they should remove the ability to manually delete drops, too. It has the exact same effect.

    Then you're just not looking and trying to prove you wrong is a waste of time because you've already closed the case in your mind.

    The rest is good.
    You're assuming that's the only feedback they're getting. Or even the majority of it. Forums are inherently skewed toward the negative. If they were an accurate representation of player attitude, this game wouldn't have made it to the one year mark.

    You don't have to. It was a pretty heavily discussed topic in the beta forum. And a quick use of this wonderful thing called a "search button" would have helped as well.

Level 35 commons are essentially the same as +2 SOs, and level 40 commons are better than +3 SOs. (I am not 100% sure on these numbers because the wiki is on blackout but I am pretty sure.)
    But when I'm generally running around with +3 SOs at level 27, 32, and 37, it's a significant difference to me. I start sliding over to commons as I get the recipes in the mid 30s, sure, but I'm still filling in a lot of gaps with drops. I'm not going to pay for common IOs on the market before 40.

    ...why wouldn't they? An auto-delete filter would have no affect on the drop rate, so it's not going to imbalance the game. It'll merely be a convenience.

    Nice that you break out the condescending attitude though. It only emphasizes the weakness of your stance.

    Wrong. It's exactly the point. If you want a change that the majority is against or indifferent to....face it, you ain't getting that change.

    The point is that, if someone honestly wants to see something happen, chastising them for posting their suggestion on the grounds that "the devs already said no" is both unfair and short-sighted.
    "Disagreeing with you" and "explaining why it's not likely to happen" =/= "chastising you". That's just your ego talking.

    And it's clear from this thread that your feedback is a minority voice. They also have history of having run their script before and saw the results from it.

    Bull&^%$ again. I use them all the time until at least level 40. Before then, even level and higher SOs are equal to or better than standard IOs in enhancement values. As for value in general, damage SOs sell to the store for more than, say, a taunt SO.

    Do try to learn what the hell you're talking about before coming here and parading your ignorance, eh? And stop assuming that the way YOU play is the best and the way everybody else plays.

    Well, that's the thing. I'll manually go through and delete low value recipes/salvage when I hit a stopping point anyway if I can't swing by a store to offload them. Or, if I don't, then the full inventory is blocking potentially higher value drops. Deleting a temp power revolver recipe and getting a purple as a drop is a fine trade-off, IMO. ( Had that exact thing happen. Very next drop was a purple. So, ultimately, I made MORE money by manually "filtering" )

    That's not an opinion, that's an assumption of fact. Which can, in fact, be wrong.

    Oh, there absolutely is. The idea that you somehow automatically deserve the names more than those who got to them first just because they aren't currently playing.

    Funding? And the purpose of the filter being to clear out less valuable drops to make way for more valuable ones.

    No, I'm using it as an example of a time where "just run to a store" isn't a suitable solution.

    I had feelings on the matter: The idea that current players are ENTITLED to the names on idle accounts. It might be a cool thing for them to free them up, but the attitude that Paragon is somehow wronging us by not doing so is utter absurdity. Like I said, an overblown sense of entitlement.
