Gah! Why is everyone crying about VEAT/HEATS getting lowered? Seriously?
Hi Vexxabpphantom, how's ya?
*grabs a coffee, rolls a cigarette and sits down on the couch with his feet on the table*
People are complaining because they're no longer an achievement or accomplishment. You can hit 20 in a few hours. You can't gauge a potential PUGer by noticing that they're on an *EAT and thinking "Oh, they should know what they're doing." Then again, AE PLing took most of the "Booyah!" feeling out of getting an *EAT anyway.

People aren't happy unless they are complaining. I remember a ton of complaints when they gave people who only had either CoV or CoH access to both sides.
Personally 20 is long enough so a new player has to learn a bit of how to play, but not so long that you could go years due to altits and not be able to make a *EAT.

Having looked at the Powersets for them, I really don't see the fuss. I wont be making any, for the simple reason, I have too many toons already (2 Redside and around 4 Blueside - not many by most standards I know)and want to get a select few of them up to 50 at some point in my life. Not for the 'I got to fifty now I get goodies' but because that's all the achievement I'd need. Maybe I just take a more casual approach to this game, dont get me wrong I love it and would play all day everyday if I could, but when things like this happen, I couldn't give a monkeys left nad! Even if I had worked for a fifty to get the chance to roll a Warshade and they announced it on the day I stepped into game with her, I would laugh for a long time and get over it completely.

Morning Vexxa et al 
Sorries, walked into the office this morning to a campus wide black-out. Just got ye old computer back up.
Kinda nice to get to work and have literally nothing to do but take an hour and a half nap... lol
*squirms her way in and over to the coffee pot*
Ugh. I've felt better. How's everyone doing today?
SG Mate: Cien, what the hell is this Rookery thing?

SG Mate: Yeah, but what IS it?

People just want to complain sometimes I suppose. I find it hilarious when people refer to something in a video game as an 'accomplishment' of somekind. It's a GAME.

It's at least as valid as referring to things in real life as acomplishments. Retirement? Pre-requisite is to get a job and not die. Not a lot of effort there. Same goes for 'living to a ripe old age'. Don't die.|

A real acomplishment irl would be to get a high profile, high paying job WAY out of your reach and skill sets, and for which you have no aptitude, knowledge or hope of success. Actually that just makes you a politician.

As valid as real life? Really? So... playing a game and getting badges is up there with graduating college? Buying a house? Getting married? You need to read the dictionary for definition of the word accomplishment.
How about finishing a marathon? Writing a book? Helping a stranger?
Everyone of those is far more important than sitting on your butt playing a video game while waiting for a hot pocket to finish cooking in the microwave. Games are like movies, they are entertainment. There is no gain in them, it's relaxation not work.
An accomplishment takes effort. Getting a badge or getting a 50 is no more an accomplishment than watching a movie.

Greetings and salutations everyone. Well, the roads are clear. The hardest part of my commute this morning was digging out. Good thing my son helped me. (he did most of the shoveling, actually) I trust we're all having a good day today?
