It was better before, and I quit. Now that I see the changes are coming, I double quit.

As for myself, I honestly felt like they were getting something that I earned. I felt annoyed. Then, I realized that they were getting to experience content they may not see otherwise. And I felt happy for them.

Out of curiosity, OP, did you have ATs for both sides?

I have 50's on both sides of CoX.
I thoroughly approve of more players having access to more options and applaud moving access down to 20.
I do not index my pleasure in my own accomplishments by how hard others have to work to get the same thing, or how exclusive my access to rewards is.
My scrapper doesn't need an AoE. She IS an AoE.

ATs
Costume pieces
I also don't want a TF/SF to be required to unlock anything ever. I am okay with something of non-cosmetic use being unlockable by a TF/SF as long as it can also be unlocked by another means.

As long as it can be soloed, I am okay with it. I've been on too many TFs that fall apart because people start leaving and it is very sad.

That's ok then - because I have a feeling access to Praetoria might need an arc to be completed first

You mean for existing characters, right? Because I recall they said we could start all ATs (not Khelds and VEATs though) in Praetoria but at level 20 we have to split.|

Am I angry/jealous/feeling gypped/think it's a "slap in the face"/etc? Nope. Not in the least. Someone else getting theirs at 20 doesn't diminish the 13 issues/4 1/2+ years I've had to play with my Khelds.

I'm pretty sure ilevel 20 is tied in with GR in some way, possibly for future Praetorian EATs.

I also think Level 30 would be better. It's not as easy as 20 and not as absurdly time consuming as 50.

30 would be nice... or 32 (thats a magical number).
But I still wish there was an Epic Epic AT... that you unlocked when you get one of each epic to 50...
yep...
One PB, one WS, one Soldier and One Widow...

Yes. I can get lost on a straight-line map.
As MB and Scythus have said, 30 would've been better. I actually would've like it to be 35 to fall inline with Cimerora, RWZ Vanguard Merits, and that it adds just a touch of "let's work to a goal."

Ok, I REALLY cannot figure out what you mean here. You seem to be saying that you dislike new issues coming out because they contain new stuff to make the game interesting. I'm trying to wrap my head around how that makes any kind of sense.|

You exit Praetoria at level 20 - possible Praetorian EATs would unlock once you went to Primal Earth - I think there's a reason they made it 20 and not 30 |

What do I think about it?
First of all, I think about the same thing I have thought of in the past 2 dozen threads on roughly the same topic.
Secondly, that thought is "Hurray! My altoholism is being rewarded!" It took me almost three years to get a single alt to 50 heroside. I'm still 4 tough levels away from that point villainside (on a character I started on CoV pre-start weekend, no less).
Yeah, some folks got characters to 50 multiple times while I was playing around with my variety of characters. But I kinda like to think that I learned the game as well as they did (if not better since I was playing a Blaster and a Tanker and a Controller and a Scrapper and a Defender in multiple iterations of each, which is somewhat helpful since a Kheld can fill so many different roles on a team).
So, I'm really pretty happy about their decision all in all.
Altoholic - but a Blaster at Heart!
