The short answer is that the Devs don't want us using SO's right at level 22. It's supposed to be, and was, that way in CoH during the first 6 months that game was out.

Does this just seem off to anyone else? Its either the rewarding, or the prices, but DOs and SOs are nigh impossible to come by in CoV.
On my 22 Robo/Trap MM, I could afford 5 SOs... Leading up to that point, I had only bought about 4 DOs at 12, and 5 DOs at 18, while selling every single time I got filled,a nd living on my weak Training enhancement drops.
If they want the drops to mean something, perhaps they need to recode the dropping system. Make sure you're rewarded enhancemetns of your Origin at least 50% of the time, and perhaps a sliding system as you advance in level...
Tranings are 100% of the drops until level 14 or so. Then its Trainging 75%, DO 25% until level 20, and then the roles reverse. After 25, we get DOs 60%, SOs 20%, and TOs 20%. After 30, it becomes SOs 60%, DOs 30%, and TOs 10% (Althought DO and TO drops are not generally necessary post-30, I don't see them getting rid of them).
Any thoughts?
Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.
