This is a poor idea because it makes people lazy and laziness is the last thing we need in CoX. Remember AE farms? Yeah.

Seriously? You think the zones will be empty because the player majority will be crowded around in stores updating their SOs in a faster fashion?

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.

I understand where you're coming from, but keep in mind, we're talking about an OPTION. If you don't have enough influence to do a blanket upgrade, it's not like you can't still use the store. If you want to change out single enhancements one at a time, you still have that capability. No one's suggesting taking away what you can do now, only adding an option.

I'd still be in favor of an "Upgrade All" scenario. Maybe instead it's an option of "Upgrade All SOs", then "DOs" and then "TOs." I'd certainly be in favor of a system that allows you to purchase straight into the enhancement screen. If it was similar to how you can choose the level of the enhancement (like the Merit Vendor), that would be even better. Let's say someone wants to lock their toon at 40, it would be nice if they could buy level 43 enhancements from the store.

I believe what he is trying to say is that given the chance players will take the path of least resistance. Furthermore when players do take the easy route and it backfires on them rarely do they take responsibilty for their actions. Far too often they blame the game or the devs for something they could have avoided had they taken the time to RTFM. They can use their internet navigation skills to find the forums to whine, *****, moan, and complain but the idea of using those same skills to find, download, and read the free online manual . . .

Well that's just too much to expect of someone.

Not to mention, if done right, you could 'upgrade all', undo upgrades, redo upgrades and tweek individual slots. And when you're satisfied with where everything is, you go to the bottom of the menu and click 'Buy' to finalize everything.

I wouldn't mind a feature that automagicaly upgraded all your expired Non IOs to even level versions at a slightly increased price.
