I find it funny that some people are comparing an MMOG to an FPS. Almost all FPS games are MADE to be modded by the community. Almost all FPS games, you don't continue to pay for, and almost all FPS games you don't play on the developers' servers. The world of MMOG's is vastly different. I have to wonder how many people posting in this thread have CoH as their first MMOG.
As far as I know, most of the successful MMOG's, or exploit free ones, never allow client modification, so I'm actually very surprised that so many of you are actually surprised by this decision. I don't want this game to turn into a damn Asheron's Call having just as many bots as there are players.
As for people quitting over this, I those are either empty threats(which isn't very threateninig anyway), or those people are WAY too easily irritable. I've been playing since beta and I've heard the Fortitude, and Integration sounds, and I too hate navigating Perez Park, but jesus, I'm not going to let minor annoyances like that turn me away from an awesome and unique game. Turn down your SFX volume if it bothers you that much.
One last thing. Stop slamming CuppaJo. The policy was already made since before she got here. She's just being the first one to actually enforce it, so let's not slam her for doing her job. Why would anyone expect an MMO company to let players talk about how to do things that are against the ToS aggreement on their own boards?
