Power Customization is ruining the game!

I'm a casual player, and a casual poster as well. By the time I get to one of the "X feature is ruining the game threads" It's already 7 or 8 pages deep and there's really no sense in posting because only the fanatics and trolls are still reading/posting. So I've decided to get ahead of the game.

Power Customization is ruining the game!

Now that you can customize powers, people are rolling a bunch of alts, playing powersets they never played because of thematic reasons. All of these alts are boss farming in AE gaining more inf than I can gain as a casual player, and driving up market prices by IO'ing all of their new found powers!

And because they are all farming I have no one to TF with. Not because I would TF with them, but because all of the other like minded individuals who would normally TF with me are too busy being lame on the forums and still posting after 7 or 8 pages.

Not only that, but yellow Fortituted and Pink fire are clashing with my outfit! Don't the Dev's know that I've only got 5 costume slots and I've already put my costumes together based on the existing power set color pallete? What were they thinking?

What I think would fix this, is to put a cap on the selling/buying price at the market. 2 Billion Inf would be fair for everyone and then no one can sell anything for over that cap. Eventually everything will be the same price and then I can complain that a level 15 accuracy IO costs the same as an Armageddon.

If you don't agree with me, you're wrong.

TL;DR version: Issue2 ruined the game because it eventually led to Issue 16 and we should all go back to I1 and have fun again, the hard way, like God Intended when he invented COH.

P.S. IBTI

No, no, no.

The DEVs ruined the game by making it in the first place.

C'mon, get your facts right.

I believe Douglas Adams said it best:

In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

@Saint,

I think that is probably the most appropriate quote ever directed towards COH.

Power customization has mentally scarred all of my characters. People won't stop making alts that can hurl poop-colored energy blasts and claiming they'll throw feces at me if I don't give them my lunch money.

You wanna what is ruining the game?

Graphics. That's right!

Whatever happened to text-based games? Huh?

All these fancy new 3D stuff are ruining the game! In my days, we had fun typing out commands to do in game in a crappy DOS interface.

You guys are cheating! You're taking the easier route by looking at graphics! You have no imagination!

You're all exploiters and cheaters!

I will stand up for justice! TAKE GRAPHICS OUT OF COH!

CoH is a game about heroes! Not tight leather!

+rep to you for the Douglas Adams quote. Hitchhiker's was a great book, and that quote was one of my favorites.

Ummm... careful, Bright_Shadow, you're showing your age again (and sounding like a, ahem, certain disagreeable person on another thread that we both posted in, even though it's pretty clear that you're kidding).

But! But! I made a funny!

I'm not denying that you were funny, I'm just saying that...

Hey...

Why does that sound like the arguments you hear on all the "AE sux" threads?

People need to play their own game and leave me alone. Are you the color police now? Are you going to report me for choosing colors that cause epileptic seizures? When you start paying my $15 a month you can tell me what colors my powers can be. If the devs didn't want me to have green fire-breath, brown energy blasts, and yellow ice patches, they wouldn't have put those colors in the game!
