Pfffft hahahaha.
Ohhh god no.
There are people who have played since beta and don't have a 50 because they are the lovely hybrid of casual and alt lovers.

this kind of change could ultimately fix many negative aspects of AE.

Negative aspects? I thought you said there was nothing wrong with it?

[/ QUOTE ]You do realize that people were writing stories for the game since before AE was released? Some people enjoy creating missions!
Just like there's some people that think all people exactly the same as them, with no deviation in their interests. Everything must be tailored to them, or The Man!!!! is screwing you over.

I mainly used the HEAT/VEAT example because it is the first account-wide 'flag' that I thought of. Account-wide access that unlocks at a say level 30 or at the 3 month Veteran badge would also suffice.
The point I wanted to convey is to give brand new players time to learn the game before giving a level 1 player access to critter behaviour that they normally would never have to deal with until they are more experienced.

Oh and out of curiosity, which 60 month badge holders out there don't have a lvl 50?

Which is NOT what the devs want.
Sorry, but in closed and open they specifically stated they want folks to play in AE from lvl 1-50, irrelevant if there are custom critters or not, since YOU CHOOSE which missions you want to do. you can 100% avoid ALL custom critters, so that part of the argument is irrelevant b.s. sorry.

Yes, really. It is an incredibly powerful tool that players can use to show off their creativity with critter creation, story writing and plot development. I love finding gems from Stories & Lore It really is an amazing addition to CoX.
Then there is the matter of how AE was implemented. A quote that fits in service type industries and certainly fits here is "You can't please all of the people all of the time". Yet there is still that necessary balance of giving the current playerbase enough to keep them 'happy' and giving brand new players reason to join CoX while not overwhelming them.
Yes there will always be more and more information for players to 'digest' as new issues keep getting released. However new players aren't immediately affected/overloaded by that until it becomes level appropriate or unless they seek that information it out on their own. Enemies start simple and become more complex and harder to beat. Travel starts out being mostly safer city zones, and progressively becomes more dangerous. Enhancements start out very simple and relatively cheap, and more quickly become much more complicated, not to mention expensive. Then there is AE which tends to be the equivalent giving a child an automobile to drive before they've learned to ride the bicycle.
HEAT and VEAT creation options are given to players once they achieve their first level 50 character. Could the same condition not also be required to play AE TF's or use AE in general? There is already a level requirement in place for non-AE TF's, so the precedence already exists. Yes this would be a [u]huge[u] alteration, but this kind of change could ultimately fix many of the negative byproducts of AE.
Please discuss.
