You know I agree w/ you sweetie. I've been posting in I15 feedback threads about how underwhelming the new issue is. Pounding on the same target for over an hour is the opposite of fun.
Reichsman=extreme tedium+frustration
I've heard the hero side one is worse, although that's hard to imagine. I'm not inclined to do either one at this point.
Its too bad we can't discuss other games here. There's one in particular, w/out a monthly subscription, that could teach the devs a lot about storytelling. How to build suspense, create a sense of accomplishment for the players, and really scare you w/ a large-scale threat.
My boredom threshold is a lil higher than yours, or is that lower (I always get that confused). At times I play this game like the old arcade games. Pop in your quarter and play the same content over and over. Once in a while something interesting happens. But that's becoming more rare.
So I have hopes for Going Rogue, but I'm not gonna get too excited. We've been disappointed before.
umm im a 30 month vet who really never touched red side till now. i got a lot of learning to do. if your ever up for doing oddball mishes or tasks (TFs no one likes but you or GMs or whatever) im down. im the guy on hero side who thinks the sewer trial is one of the best arcs ever lol.
so while we wait for new content you could rehash your favorite content with me. i could use the help finding the good stuff red side. i can bring cupcakes and koolaid!

well i can say the exact opposite. ive only played the hero side and cant imagine the red side being worse lol. that TF brought absolutely nothing new to the table in any way.
i really hope everyones thought about the MA just being the devs way of passing off the buck to us is completely wrong. it feels true though i have to admit.
Make it ice cream instead of koolaid and you're on! What do you have on the redside so far?

I can't find the quote atm (serch-fu failing), but Posi did say that the devs will no longer be writing story arcs. That does sound like passing the buck to us.
It will be all SFs/TFs from now on. And from what we've seen w the I15 ones, that's not encouraging.

Dear Over Bored and Concerned Player,
Congratulations on receiving your 45th veteran badge. All of us here want to wish you the sincerest and warmest of congratulations. You have truly reached a milestone in and of itself. You are eternal. Of all things you will forever be remembered, never forgotten once for your achievements in this MMO. It saddens us to learn that you have deleted several toons. We are concerned that you did not continue to work your way through the countless and repetitive missions to make them level 50. I would suggest you reconsidering your avenue with regards to your SG. You might find larger groups out there that might not have so many alts. It would be in your best interest as well to post more often on these forums. Get to know your community. Become a true hero.
We undersatnd your frustration with the gaming mechanics and engine of the game. We assure you that it is all working as intended.
Everyone goes through boredom in and of itself in any game. We would suggest that leaving for other games is not an option. This game is full of hope. Every issue brings with it, flavour, content and badges. Who doesn't love a good new shiny shiny to wear. We love to hear from our playerbase and find that they are including their significant others and family members. The family that plays the game together stays together. The mission architect engine is vast and full of wonderful fullfilling content. A sense of pride is gained when you enter the building, til you decide to take an hour or so break and come back. AE is the future. AE is the future. AE is the future. But let's move on.
Going Rogue is the epitome of our pursuits. We know you will enjoy hopping back and forth from evil to good to good to evil to evil good to good evil to lawful chaotic neutral and back again. We apologize for Ouroboros and Cimerora. These zones were meant for comic relief. A rehashing of the game so to speak. A way to redo the game again and again. Cimerora merely wanted to gain you some insight into the movie 300. We hope this helped with your history lesson.
Unfortunately, because the game is working as intended, we are unable to fulfil your one and only reasonable request of upping the level cap. Many people would truly be annoyed should we do that. All of their efforts to Purple their toons out would be for not. We will continue to debate this in our next meeting.
We feel you should truly try the epic AT. It truly is EPIC (exceptionally pathetic in content).
Thank you for your concerns,
Happy Hunting!
Your Dev Team
(( HA HA - I agree with you. Sigh!))
@Tax E - RIP CoH 2012
something smells fishy about your post taxi...
I know not what you are talking about sir. 
@Tax E - RIP CoH 2012
Think it was the Tuna you had for lunch Ms. Tax
thats what that smell is
Very funny. Nicely done.
Wish they had a player rep at those dev meetings.
Then again, the playerbase disagrees on so much, which point of view would he or she represent?
Btw, "working as intended" sounds like a phrase Orwell could've used in 1984.
Wait! What?! I'm at work. Is i16 live???
Surprise!
YaY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can I come home NOW?? I suddenly feel sooooo sick! 
(sits back down on the cold stone floor... scribbles a quick note...)
Dear Devs,
Thanks!!
(hmm... which secondary would work best with TA? And who needs furniture?! )
OMG! I need to see The Facemaker, ASAP! (sprints to the CAP teleporter...)
Ask and ye shall receive!
Now don't go abusing that power young lady.
Why the hell did I think it was live? Grrr 
*sighs* Still waiting....
Ok, maybe I took off for a little bit. I tried Aion. I love it but it has all these clones running around. You can tell which class a player is by their clothes. Maybe it gets better as you level? More options, crafted stuff, better armor drops? Or something?
I tried Champions Online. One word for it...eww! Is that a word? Ok, in all fairness I only played it one night so the jury is still out but I'm thinking their minds are made up.
*grabs a stick and pokes CoX* You alive??!!
Aion is pretty, but so far seems like a clone of other fantasy games. And they think flight (limited by a timer) is an innovation. We've had that for 5 years here. Weird claim on their part, esp. since it's an NCsoft game.
I wish Champs looked better. There's no problem w/ wanting to look like comics. But they went too far w/ the nostalgia. Comics have come a long way since the Marvel 60s they seem to be imitating.
It does represent a fresh start though. Just look at how clogged these boards have become w/ arguments about drop rates, invention IOs, the market and AE. It's become tiresome. Like spinning your wheels in mud.
Maybe a break til Going Rogue would help.
I been playing AoC for the past 3 months. I was going to start that at release but I like to wait till things are worked out before jumping in like I did with this game. I still play this game, but not much at all really anymore. Once a week for an hour or so is about it. I guess I will more when I16 goes live, maybe. But for now, I am REALLY liking AoC, that game is awesome.
(wanders aimlessly around the SG base kicks a helmet some SG mate dropped on the floor sweeps up the mess left at the crafting table picks up an enhancement a numina! figures the same old end/rech tosses it in the fire the fire I built from all those AE drafts OMG I am so bored maybe I should write that letter sits on the cold stone floor note to self: buy furniture for the base...)
) So I asked him, wouldnt you like to bring those 50s to lvl 55 or 60 instead of just making another 50?? And while Im at this
what is up with these so-called Epic ATs?? Excuse me but... EPIC Surpassing the usual or ordinary, particularly in scope or size. Heroic and impressive in quality. Right
missed on that one too.
Dear Devs,
The other day I received my 45th veteran badge. I have a few lvl 50s. I have deleted countless toons ranging in lvls from 2 38. And I have a stack of toons ranging from 4 47... a couple stalkers, a brute and the rest are either cors or doms. I belong to a small SG. There are a handful of active people with gazillion alts. I post in these forums but as you can see, not often. Heres the thing
Ive gone through periods of frustration with this game the slooooow zoning, crashes, lags, etc. Thats when I first started playing. But hmm Im seeing it again NOW! What the hell?!
Ive gone through periods of utter boredom with the game. So much so Ive left it to play other games, however, Ive always returned to CoV. But now Im at a point where I think the game is hopeless. With each issue I expect to see something new and exciting. I told my bf that AE was just their way of getting us to do their work. He laughed but seems to agree with me now. AE has produced a few entertaining missions and arcs, farms galore, and carbon copies of existing content. Its also produced lvl 50 toons who dont even know how to exit a mission! OMG...WTH?! It makes me want to TP their [censored] into a lava pit. The funniest part is that they are probably naïve enough to let me do it! muahahahaa
Ok I digress I got excited when I heard about the new expansion Going Rogue. But now Im a little concerned. Will there actually be anything to be excited about? I was so disappointed in the new zones, Ouroboros and Cimerora. They are both like dead end streets. Now, Ouro is just a transfer station from one zone to another. And Cimerora is just the ITF zone. The only challenge is how much faster you can complete it than the last time you did it. Will the new expansion provide us with more than dead end streets?
Please give us something truly new to do. What about giving us new content to bring our lvl 50 toons to lvl 55 or even 60! You dont even have to add new powers. Just throw in a few more slots. My bf has twice as many 50s as I do. (Only because he doesnt suffer from altitis
