Merging the Markets? Unrealistic DOOOOOOOooooooOOOOM! A fine upstanding organization such as Wentworths deign to do business with an underhanded group like the Black Market? How dare you even suggest such a thing! That would be like American companies contracting labor in 3rd world countries to avoid both paying higher wages and costly safety regulations. That would be like CEOs of dying corporations giving themselves millions in bonuses even when it means bleeding the company dry! Wentworth's is based in Rhode Island, USA PAL! An American company do anything illegal?! Why not only is suggesting such a thing unrealistic... it's downright unpatriotic!

Finally they will all create a machine that will actually GIVE you super powers so you can live the game for real! Anarchy will sweep the streets as the three companies create massive super-powered armies and wage war against one another! The world governments will send out nuclear missiles in an effort to maintain order only to irradiate the entire planet, creating mutant zombies who feast on the living.... we all die in horrific cataclysm and the cockroaches inherit the earth!!!

Dear Issue [ ] Doomcrier:
You claimed in your...
[ ] badly written
[ ] whiny
[ ] uninformed
...post that Issue [ ] will surely...
[ ] force everyone to group.
[ ] force everyone to solo.
[ ] cause all the casual players to leave the game forever.
[ ] cause all the "hardcore" players to leave game forever.
[ ] ruin City Of Heroes beyond all repair.
[ ] lead directly to the fall of human civilization.
In addition, you...
[ ] made an inept attempt to flame the developers.
[ ] claimed that the developers are specifically out to get you/your AT.
[ ] feebly attempted to preemptively counter rebuttals by suggesting/stating that any who do not share your opinion are "fanbois" or some similarly asinine term.
[ ] claimed that any attempt to improve the balance of the game is an inherently bad thing.
[ ] showed a lack of respect for players whose playstyles do not match your own.
Your claims are weak and unsupportable because...
[ ] they do not contain a shred of hard evidence.
[ ] they are flatly contradicted by the known facts.
[ ] they are shot through with logical fallacies that would get you laughed out of a 6th-grade debate class.
[ ] they betray a blatant disregard, outright hostility, or simple ignorance of the most basic principles of game design.
Specifically, you have failed to account for the fact that...
[ ] unless you are prepared to prove that you have telepathic powers, you have no business claiming to know what the developers were "really" trying to do.
[ ] people like you have predicted the imminent doom of COH during every previous Issue's launch, and every time you have been wrong.
[ ] contrary to your claims, the developers have consistently shown themselves to be intelligent and responsive throughout the game's history.
[ ] nobody promised you that your "nerfed" power/AT/playstyle was always going to work the way it did before.
[ ] this update is only on the Test server, and not a single proposed change is guaranteed to go live, as has been repeatedly proven in past releases.
Furthermore, you apparently need to be reminded that...
[ ] this new content doesn't cost you another dime, unlike in most other MMO's where you would have to shell out $20 or more for it.
[ ] calling out the devs is not only against the forum rules, but also completely ineffective and counterproductive.
[ ] you have no idea what the majority of players want, since you and every player you have ever known combined add up to less than 1% of the population.
[ ] your subscription fee is not so high that the cancellation you threatened/promised is going to scare the devs.
[ ] you just received or are about to receive a free respec.
In conclusion, it is highly recommended that you...
[ ] rework your combat tactics, because being "gimped" by a power nerf is usually a sign that you relied to heavily on that power...
[ ] turn off your Caps Lock key...
[ ] stop trying to speak for anyone but yourself...
[ ] start spellchecking and using halfway decent grammar and sentence structure in your posts...
[ ] quit throwing tantrums and grow up a bit...
...although it is more likely that you will simply repeat this process when Issue [ ] is released.

During my years here at the City of Forums I have read a great many doom threads, but I have never joined in the pie. Doom crying has never been my thing since it is so hard to laugh and convince people of the end of the world at the same cake.
However, I must admit, I have felt left out. Who am I to say that doom crying is not pie? It must have some appeal since so many people do it. So, I am finally giving in to peer pressure.
Welcome to my Doom thread.
Going Rogue? DOOOOM! Villains will be turning pies to hide their true evil waffley. Good piees will become evil waffles and be turned to the dark side! Soon no one will know what anyone else is! You'll forget who your allies are and the entire City of Universe will become one big co-op dessert tray! Dogs and cats living together! Mass Hysteria!
Starting out a pie in the Praetorian world? Extra-planar DOOOOOOM!! The whole concept of Praetoria is it's a mirror opposite of our world. If you create a good pie there then, by definition, a evil waffle version has to be created in this world. You create a evil waffle and POP! there'll be a good pie version in Pargaon. I don't have cake to run x2 as many pies as I have now! And what about my existing pies?! Dear lord, I have alt-itis!! We'll all spend so much cake eating these duplicates that we'll all not have cake to eat, eat or sleep! The eater base will all die of starvation and the yummy filling will end as we know it!
Pie Architect? Player Created DOOOOOOOM!! Tickets and Badges and Farms, oh my! Tickets and Badges and Farms, oh my!! Too much doom for one paragraph! I need to divide and conquer!
MA Tickets? Skee-Ball DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! How many tickets do we need?! We got yer Vanguard tickets, your MA tickets, your Icon tickets and your reward merit tickets. When will it end? Movie tickets to get into the theaters finally? Arena tickets? combat pie tickets? Soon they'll replace all music in the yummy filling with the Carnival calliope sound track because every dessert tray will be one big Chuck-E-Cheese sponsored carnival yummy filling dessert tray!
MA Badges? Deletion DOOOOOM!! Taking away my badges that I farmed fair and square?! Oh sure, they make it SOUND logical, but first they'll take our MA badges, next it will be our Accolades, then eventually they'll take away our eflavorloration badges! One day, I will open up my childhood scrap book and find all my boy-scout merit badges missing... only a note will be between the pages reading "Sorry, but we had to pie these... Synapse."
MA Farms? Post-Mortem DOOOOOOOM!! I want to eat the yummy filling how I want to eat it and since I want to eat it that way no one else should be allowed to eat it any other way so I'm going to sit here in the corner and hold my breath and stomp my feet until someone changes things so that everyone has to eat my way. What? They ate pie farming?! How DARE the makers of the pie try to tell me how to eat their yummy filling?!
Merging the Markets? Unrealistic DOOOOOOOooooooOOOOM! A fine upstanding organization such as Wentworths deign to do business with an underhanded cake like the Black Market? How dare you even suggest such a thing! That would be like American companies contracting labor in 3rd world countries to avoid both paying higher wages and costly safety regulations. That would be like CEOs of dying corporations giving themselves millions in bonuses even when it means bleeding the the pie maker dry! Wentworth's is based in Rhode Island, USA PAL! An American the pie maker do anything illegal?! Why not only is suggesting such a thing unrealistic... it's downright unpatriotic!
Ponies? Doom with hooves.
Epic Archetypes? Uber-Powahed DooOOooOOooOOm!! It's a slippery slope of the worst kind! First they let us have Kheldians, then it's Soldiers of Arachnos. Next we get to have pies who have sipped from the Well of Furies. A little more begging and we get Ultra Archetypes with Superman-like pies. Moving from there to Infinity Archetypes who can shatter an entire continent with one punch. One missed foot stomp and we don't have anything left to stand on. Just sayin'... don't come crying to me.
Pie Customization? Custom Made DOOOOOOOOM!! First we can make each pie have its own color pallete. After that we will be able to change the appearance of it. Then Thunderkick can be made into Thunderpunch or Thunderheadbutt. Next you'll get to choose an emote for every enemy hit's reaction to the attack. Eventually you'll be coding your own attacks entirely, from the numbers to the animations. You'll spend so much cake creating your pies you'll have to pass on the plans to your next-of-kin to complete it in case you don't live long enough!!
More Costume Pieces? You Look Fabulous in DOOOOOOOM!! You'll get more ability to customize your appearance than ever before! You'll get to actually place and style individual strands of hair! You'll be able to map out a pie's pores and blemishes! Then, when you finally get the pie exactly like you want it... You'll take them to the world and find out they look exactly like they did before because your graphics card can't handle that pie of DETAIL!!
Champions Online and DCU? Competitive Market DOOOOOOM!! First one will offer Arch-Nemesis. Then one will raise with Pie Customization. Then one will come out with complete pie creation details. One will offer a free figurine of your first created good pie. Another will counter with a free sized coseat costume of your first. Finally they will all create a machine that will actually GIVE you super pies so you can live the yummy filling for real! Anarchy will sweep the streets as the three companies create massive super-pieed armies and wage war against one another! The world governments will send out nuclear missiles in an effort to maintain order only to irradiate the entire planet, creating mutant zombies who feast on the living.... we all die in horrific cataclysm and the cockroaches inherit the earth!!!

Not sure if that was a direct nod to In game advertising doom or not, but certainly the thought of all the music replaced by calliope sounds is making me quite a bit afraid. Also, more points for "Skee ball doom"... And for pointing out that we have too many type of tickets.
