I hate what super boosters have done to the community

I've recognized that the Q&A was hardly a promise, but it was still disappointing. At first when they disappeared from beta, I thought it may be from copyright issues. It was surprising to see them in a paid back afterwards, especially when David at the time was saying Paragon Studios was getting players the stuff "they've been asking for." In retrospect, that statement was probably meant as down the line and not "with this upcoming pack!"

truthfully, I have no problem with the Super Boosters.

For some of the more complex sets, I'm okay with it.

However, what disappoints me with them, is it seems to me, that we're not getting enough of the more simpler/generic costumes ideas implemented, for one reason or another, and part seems to be "oh we have this cool fancy idea" that in the end, is harder to match up with anything but the rest of the set.

One of my suggestions for Organic Armor, was to have a non-scaley version, that could keep the glow parts, but the "tight" parts could mesh more with the Tight/Shiney Tight bottoms.

So it would look less like skin, and more like part of the outfit.

Also, Disco (with skin option for females) having it's bikini part of the Disco option, turned into a Bikini option that blends into the Tight Top (or the various with skin options), would be great, and while I could be wrong, would seem to be an easy add in.

Ie...I want the Bikini bottom, with the leg coverings, without being a full skin covering (part of the leg with show).

Or Padded Gloves (and even Fingerless gloves), that has a tight option that covers the forearms, so the sleeves of Tight Top or Belly Tee Long (and other such pieces) don't stop at the elbows.

And a sleeveless Trench coat option, that will allow me to use other gloves (like Banded Gloves option) would be nice.

Basically, I want to see some more generic options thrown in every now and again while I continue to buy these costume boosters combos.

There should be a super booster that corrects all the incorrect power icons.

I'll get anything they put out

I've only read the first couple of pages but...I'm kind of astonished how much entitlement people have now.

Realistically, the devs don't have to give you *squat* for free! You pay the 15$/month for access to the game, the game's upkeep and whatever customer support they decide to throw your way.

All the stuff they offer for free is there purely to retain customers. New powersets/ATs? That's to give you more to play so you stay.

Costumes and Customizations? To put themselves a cut above the other games, so this one looks more appealing.

Emotes? So you have more fun and enjoy the game.

Vet Rewards? Just a little something to give you incentive to stay subscribed.

Free issue updates? So you come back to see the new shinies.

Honestly, they can take all their free updates and add-ons and shove them into an expansion pack every 1.5-2 years that you pay +60$ for. What could you do about it? Stop playing, is probably all.

That the devs decide to offer boosters for small sums of money should be viewed like mini-customized expansions. You get to choose the stuff in your expansion pack or what you wouldn't use. What's the big deal? You're still getting your free stuff.

You may have interpreted the player mindset incorrectly, cuz I doubt anyone truly wants to pay more for their game.

I think what's happening is, instead of saying "yeah, great idea, you should post that in Suggestions!" (where it will die a horrible, miserable death BTW) Players are saying "Yeah, it could be a super booster!"

In other words, they're saying your idea is so good, they'd pay money for it. The ultimate compliment, not an actual desire to pay.

Make sense?

I have all boosters except Party pack, of course...
The things that annoys me about pack are:
Lately it seems like they are lowering the quality & quantity... Examples are the mutant pack and the party pack.
Some costume sets are too specific, like witch. It should be something basic so you can mix and match better. I hate not having the magic hood with a basic thin line, like the high collars have. I hate being forced to use the thick ornated strip. Same for witch gloves. Years demanding opera gloves and new high boots and now, instead a basic version we get that metallic wingy piece attached to them. If we cant have both detailed and basic version, at least give us the basic one!

This is a really interesting topic to me. I was totally shocked when I found out that paid-for things gave real in-game advantages -- I came to this game used to a firm policy that there would be no mechanical advantage to any optional/paid stuff. Here, you pay for character slots, you pay for special powers, and so on.

But honestly, by month 3 or so of some character slots, they're cheaper than paying for multiple accounts was.

I guess I'm still torn on the issue. I sort of dislike the idea that people with more money get advantages. However, the advantages seem to be pretty much cosmetic/convenience; there's not much of a difference in real in-mission capabilities, mostly just in how much time you spend between missions. And I guess I can live with that.

The "right" business model for MMOs is not something we can necessarily find or define; it comes down to "pay for what you want to pay for". I'm okay with paying for booster packs, at least sometimes, so I pay for them. If none of us paid for them, there wouldn't be more than the first one.

I'm not sure that's totally legal
