You seem to have ignored the word "if" in that post you responded to. It is an important word and should never be ignored. Looking at what you are saying, it seems the person you actually disagree with is Kitsune9tails.

Anyone interested in making a FotM can make one and level to 50 in a day. Yet, I still see plenty of variety. The cost of alting for anyone who is not a devoted badger is nonexistent.

Also, I don't think I have ever grouped with a SS/FA - they farm, so who gives a rat's *** if all the farmers are the same? If I have, then it was certainly only one, because I notice when I get two same-ish characters in a group.

The only way this makes any sense is if you are personally afraid that you wouldn't be able to resist the temptation to change powersets. If that's the case, then the solution is to just not do it.

You're listing a weakness that only happens if you personally have a lack of willpower.

This is such a stupid thing to say. Best case scenario, it takes me a half hour to get a LotG. Come to me on any given day and make the the offer - "You can pay $1.50 to buy a half hour of extra time to do things you want instead of working", and I'll jump at it every time.

Last year, the company I work for was having a temporary cashflow problem. To remedy it, they offered unpaid vacation time to people to save money. There was a line of people begging for the opportunity. And trust me, that rate of exchange was not nearly as generous as $3/hour. Some of those people were paying 10X that much for more free time.

Well, for the 1-50, they already offer that - it's called AE access. You get it with your subscription fee. I would have no greater problem with it if they sold it outright.

The inf I would have a problem with, but only because adding more inf to the game drives inflation. Unlike the buying 50 thing, selling inf would affect my game.

At worst it would cheapen the choices others make. Again, how does that affect you.

How would this affect you?

My current intent is to slot them until 32 or 47 and then switch them out for the normal version. I do respecs at those levels anyway and can pull out 2 sets of these with a respec. Then I can hand these down to my next character for the joy of leveling. A few sets of KCs turned my dark/regen brute into god mode.

I mean, I have 2 LotG +7.5s waiting in base storage, but at bare minimum, I have 15 levels to go before anyone can use them. Best case scenario, and those LotGs last me for 25 levels AND I can take my time and switch them out as I get the replacements in game.

I can earn a buck fifty much easier and faster than any of those things you listed.

My guess is they didn't sell to well, given they were the same price they are offering the LotG and Kinetics for this time. I'm hoping that these sell well enough to set a new price point, which would hopefully reduce the price of those sets. If they got the yellow sets down to 100-120 for a set, I'd buy a few, but 400 hits me at a close enough point for the high end rares.

No, you're blabbering nonsense.

ToD and Mako's.

If they are contributing to the out of game economy, then there is no loss from them not contributing to the in-game economy.

Do you not see the contradiction in your statement. "There are as many who prefer the league path" but "it will be the read less traveled".

Don't joke, that power has killed me more than any other particular power in this game.

Why do I care what kind of jewelry some overpaid thugs get to wear?

Joe must have gone to school and got a better job than you.

Well, since not many would, shouldn't it be more difficult to form teams? Isn't a less popular feature supposed to be used less?

Then why make the league trials at all? Presumably there is someone who wants them and would choose to do them even if the rewards were equal.

It would still have all those limitations. The way to remove those limitations is to make it cheap enough to have summoned at all times.

Look at the sig summons and keep everything the same. 4 minute summons sold in packs of 5. That sounds like a time limited power to me. Why would designing a character as "Manticore's little brother" better enable me to have him out all the time?

Shouldn't the people "needed to form leagues" be a pretty similar set to "the people who enjoy playing in leagues"?

If those aren't virtually identical groups, then there exists a problem.

is =/= ought

What does that change?

With the same frequency that I buy Signature Summons - so never.

Almost never do I need a very temporary boost in power that I can anticipate beforehand. I only use lore pets on BAF, and I don't even have to pay for them.

I don't even understand this one. What is the value of that? Is there something I'm missing? Is this some kind of inside reference I am not party to?

The people who enjoy 20 man cluster ***** would do it because they enjoy it. For the rest of us, there wouldn't be much reason - as it should be.
