So you want to suggest something that already exists as a vet reward to be nuked, turned into a paid for option so that anyone could get it at anytime, and then block all those that don't have the 60 month badge from getting it unless they buy it.
After a bunch of people already got it for "free" with their 60 month badge.
How about no.
Edit: Now if you want to suggest a "super in shape" paid for pack that lets us skip boxing/kick and still get tough/weave, I'm all for that.
Be well, people of CoH.
What's the question?
*looks at OPs forum reg date*
Oh.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Instead of just "Travel Power Pack"...
"Power Pool Power Pack".

Do you have the 60 month vet reward? If not a good replacement would be the ability to block a non-60+ month person who has bought the pack from being able to use it.

They would deserve it though. Since this would basically make something, that they spent 60 Months "working towards", potentially available to even new players.

I never said/typed that.
I was simply suggesting...not crying doom.

I guess when it comes down to it, though, even for something as simple as a travel power--I think things that confer an in-game advantage should be earned instead of bought.

How do I feel about it?
If you want to spend money:
For $9.99, you can get the natural pack with ninja run.
For $5.99, you can get a jet pack.
If you don't:
For free, you can get several in game. (5-10 safeguard, 10-15 safeguard/mayhem, goldbricker, zulu, grandville...)
And/Or you can stay a paid subscriber for 60 months.
All of the above (well, except the 60 month) will let you avoid burning a pick on a travel power if you so choose.
So... no, thanks.

You inferred from my one post that I was acting like 60-monthers would feel cheated.
I infer from your suggestion that you need your suggestion enacted to play.
If you don't then the devs don't need to waste any time or resources on your suggestion, do they?

Either you let the 60 month keep this ability, AND add to it, or you remove it (but grandfather the existing 60 month vets in). So either you kinda overpower a vet reward as well as have people complain that 60+month are getting something for free that they are being "forced" to pay for, or people complain about how the "original" 60+ month vets get a $10 pack for free, while even the vets after them get to keep it.

The current 60 Month Vets would be happy.
Everyone else would be happy.*
Devs would be happy...more money.
*However, I could see some current non-60 month vet players being upset about the fact that they have spent potentially 59 months "working towards" this reward...only to be told that they have to buy it now.
But thats the reason I ask the question of what would be a equally good 60 Month Vet Reward.

I wouldn't feel cheated either. I'd benefit on 2/3 of my accounts. But I scoff at the people who get their undies in a bunch over any of the vet rewards and think they ought to be able to buy them. Like my children whining about anything I tell them I had to walk to school in snow up to my waist even in the summer uphill both ways.

By those standard...we don't need anymore content for this game. Since we don't need more content to actually play the game, the devs don't need to waste any time or resources on it, do they?

Why compare me to children?
If you think it's a bad idea...ok, fine...but I am far from whining.

OR you could play the game until you get to the 60 month vet reward just like everyone else has had to.|

However since you seem to have a penchant of taking quotes out of context and constructing strawmen to suit your needs I'm not certain anything else you post is worth my time to read or respond to.

So it's not hard at all for me to imagine playing this game the same way I always have.
How is it difficult for "everyone else?"

Then you further infer insults. If I am going to insult someone I will just come out and write it (usually within the allowed boundaries of the forum rules though sometimes not and Niv or Mod08 give me a talking to).
You read into my posts just as you read into the vet rewards things that are simply not there.
What you are writing about that one vet reward has been brought up on many of them: 12 months, 24 months, 33 months, ...
The song remains the same and it wasn't that interesting of a tune any of those other times either.

I have to personally experience different levels of play. The people without the vet rewards yet really don't know what they are missing so their pain is much less than mine.
