It's called 'balancing'. They DO let people play the game how they want, and they make sure that the next person can do so JUST as much without making the first person feel underpowered. They do this just fine, not that you'd know anything about anything about it.

One they wouldn't so me any favors anyway. They lost cuppa she was good one. BaBs seems good to. Others i care less.
Anything they do you find good so why try and please your group of people. You dont disagree with anything they say.
100,000+ wow where you get that BS LOL. B/c i recall several post being deleted on the thread about AE nerf. And only leaving the ones that agreed pretty much. Wouldnt be that many pages if everyone agreed.
Never played there toon but fought them many times in missions. Even added them as help in AE mishs before. and what do you know. 500 times better.
Well hey what ever i dont care no more. done on forums today b/c you dont understand b/c you dont play the game. Have good day.

Some of us like lower population servers.
Some of us deliberately play on lower population servers.
That's how some of us want to play. Less lag, less broadcast spam.
If you're concerned with letting people play how they want to play, then don't try to change the servers.
If you want a high population.. you can have that!
If you want a low population.. you can have that!
Attempts to "help" or "fix" low pop servers are just a way to reduce our options.

We are punished b/c i am on guardian

Cut out all the stuff in the middle, and the truth comes out.
Want to keep Guardianites from feeling punished? Transfer Brewha to Freedom.
And for the record, I play on every server - yes, including Guardian - and have no problems finding or making teams.
[ QUOTE ]
Help lower population server. Make it where lower your population the higher the xp and money. So maybe servers will balance out. We pay money and we are punished
[/ QUOTE ]
I don't agree with the whining, but I do agree with the idea. I think server populations need to be balanced a bit, and a minor boost to experience/infamy rewards to servers based upon their population would certainly serve to spread people out more.
It's not 'punishing' freedom and virtue people, since they are still getting what they always had.
whta part didn't you read about how inconsistant the data would be to even try to think of this idea? there is no way the Dev's would ever do this. in any way shape or form. there is no punishment being doled out at all. you chose your server and if you can't find teams or can't make them yourself then TRANSFER to another server.

im going to pull your head out of your rear for a minuet and shove your foot in your mouth for you brew. the devs toons that you play against in missions or in the AE are ramped up. go to test and try to arena one and youll see that there really is no difference between their toons and ours. they test the game the same way we do, play the game the same way we do, hell, they even team with us on test. now i'm going to pull your foot out so i can put your head back where i found it..... in your rear end.
Not to mention it's a 'solution' to a nonexistent problem. Just because you're not bombarded with blind invites upon login doesn't mean teams are impossible to find. With a bit of effort, teams can be fruitfully formed on any server. It takes a bit more effort on servers with lower population, but not nearly so much more than Dev intervention is called for.

I forgot how mentally stimulating these topics are, comparable to being waterboarded in Guantanamo.
Ah, who doesn't love a good brewha thread? I think that this one was one of my favorites. Not THE favorite... I think the favorite was when he argued about free speech, and stuff. THAT was golden.
Take just one of your 50s, and pay the $10 to transfer to Freedom.
At 95 hours per week that character will have accumulated over 100 million inf (assuming its a bad soloer and you dont team). Take a decent soloer and you would be loooking at over 200 million inf as a pot.
Oh and thats in SG mode, so you would have at least half a million to a million prestige to make a starter base. (5-10k prestige/hour is not hard to do running missions)
Thats your new base of operations. Problem done and dusted for good.
Alternatively start a newbie, and in the 95 hours level 'normally, you shouldn't be far off 50 with the same prestige. You would have less inf to hand unless you lucked out into a big worthwhile drop.
1 week, and you never have to complain again. Well until Freedom is locked during the next event anyway...

I probably would if I knew who he is there. I have never seen this style/level of chat on Guardian, so he either speaks more coherently in-game or is silent.

[/ QUOTE ]
You do not represent a "silent majority" in any way, shape, or form. If you really represented a large cross-section of the playerbase, we'd have a much higher attrition rate due to accidental self-inflicted keyboard injuries.
Like it or not, the forums and the people who post on them ARE a good representative cross-section of the playerbase at large. And as Sigium points out, they have the added bonuses of being willing and able to clearly articulate their concerns to the other players and developers as well as being the ones who typically spend the most money buying all of the bells and whistles for their accounts. If your idea gains absolutely no traction with the forumites, chances are it has little chance of influencing the developers' decisions. This is especially true since our current lead developer wants to foster an attitude of "give the players what they want" rather than one of "here's my vision and you'll like it".
You only represent yourself, and given your hypocricy and your horrible grammar, you barely do that much. Stop claiming you secretly represent all of us. It's an insult.

Signs to the public that you are having issues with population of your players and you are in trouble keeping paying players in game. It's like putting a sign outside your house saying I never lock my door and please rob me. Not a good idea. I played DAOC when they come up with the idea of go to lvl 20. Hurt the game in the long run. I left the game after this. Three months later, I'm here.

Your right i don't. But i speak about what i see and KNOW!. I had 95hrs this last week.See you don't get it do you.Everyone i talk to say they don't use the forums. Only a few say they do. Thru they day i had to tell people about posi messege. O and the MA nerf i watch are population drop from 300+ to close to 120. When there pockets get lighter next month i hope they say maybe forumers really dont know this game. I play this game prob more then most people out there. And i know what i see and hear. And trust me on this. Forumers are the silent few. But hey when they release another pack here soon you know why. There pockets got lighter. So since i seen are pop drop by half and it went from being ez to build a SF to darn near imposs.. I think we deserve help for are pop.
O and one last thing. I still have yet to figure out why you guys still can't just go. " I " and i do mean you need to emphasis on " I ". Why don't you put " I don't agree with this tread, I think its a bad idea ". Instead of putting " This is a bad idea for the game [ ridicule person] [ridicule idea] [2 hr speech why its bad] ". Aint your game ether. And you don't speak for people ether. You just dont want something you hate in game. So you run people off forums that do use it. Diff between me and you is common sense. You got none

brewha, I'm going to explain this to you in full knowledge that you're both a forum troll, and an imbecile. With full knowledge that I'm trying to explain something to this.
This is not your game. It is not tailored to fit your needs. It would be better off if you left, never looked back, and nestled yourself in the den of any other MMO's forums, where people can understand the mindless drivel that you incessantly call your 'posts'. I can imagine that every time one of your fingers hits a key, your keyboard further contemplates suicide in the form of an all-out meltdown, and it shows every time your cursor, which I'm assuming is guided by an intoxicated hand, hits the 'Submit' button.
This game is not meant to be liked by you. There is not a brewha server. What CoX has is a working system that YOU not only don't like, but refuse to put up any valid arguments towards fixing what is not broken.
Now go ahead and disregard all of this, say something characteristically stupid.

Hmmm should i do like forum ppl a report you for calling me a troll are should i be smart enough unlike you to relized people are entitled to opinions. See if i call you guys what you are then your report it. B/c you cant deal with truth and cry. MASS MAJORITY DO NOT USE FORUMS! I come on here and speak the truth of what people really think that play the game. B/c they don't forum. I come and post b/c a dev might read one of my post and say not a bad idea. I care less what you guys say. But others dont come here b/c no matter how good of idea it is. You get ones to patrol the forums finding ideas the dont like and blaze em. and have there buddys and other accounts blaze them on forums to. So it looks bad when it is good
[/ QUOTE ]
You are an idiot. You can happily report this entire post for that previous sentence.
People who go on the forums? Guess how they get access to the forums? Now, this is gonna blow your mind... Ready?
They subscribe to, and PLAY the game!
There isn't some impossible 'gap' between the forums and the game. In fact, the developers have been working hard to close that gap, with constant links to Developer announcements on not only CoH announcements, but on the Updater announcements. Crazy, I know, right?
And, guess what else? The developers aren't Gods. They're people like you, myself, and every other person in this forum that posts, with the addition of greater insight to the game, and it's mechanics.
Your suggestions aren't issues of game mechanics, they're issues of COMMON SENSE, which you've failed to portray, despite all of this time you claim to spend on the game with a stoned look on your face, and eyes that are maybe 3 minutes away from being glazed over.
You need to breach the gap of COMMON SENSE before you get into MECHANICS.
The developers do NOT think of 'Can we do it?' before they think of 'Should we do it?' That much I know for a fact. Because that's how common sense works.

LOL you might want to tell the Devs that then. B/c they act like the gods of it. Not letting people play the game how they want. Making there toons 500 times better then are.
