Regarding Respec (reseting current build)

This is true. The implementation in question is more likely designed to provide (a) An easier way for new, inexperienced people to get into the game and (b) a carrot for more experienced F2Pers to upgrade and remove that barrier and build any way they like.

Umm, okay.

The respec not allowing you to pick completely different powersets on the same character is working exactly how it is supposed to.

I'm not entirely sure why you're so bent out of shape that respecs don't do something they were never meant to do in the first place. Respecs are intended to let you fix a mistake you made choosing powers or slotting them, or change things around when a power is changed.

If you are a Zombies/Dark mastermind, you will ALWAYS be a Zombies/Dark mastermind, there is no way in the game to change that unless you delete and reroll your character. You cannot change a Zombies/Dark mastermind into a Bots/Traps mastermind, and probably never will be able to.

You also seem to have no clue at all how the auction house actually works. People are not refusing to sell you anything, in fact they have no way of knowing that you are even bidding. If you bid 100,000 on something that routinely sells for 300,000,000, you are probably never going to get it, even if someone offers one for 100,000. That is because the highest bid always gets the item, regardless of how much it is for sale for. So, if someone offers an item for 100,000, and you bid 100,000, you will get it unless someone bids higher. If they are selling for 300,000,000 it is pretty much guaranteed that someone IS going to bid higher than you.

And the prices you're seeing aren't what people have them for sale for, they are what someone has ALREADY paid for them. You don't get to see what someone is selling stuff for, and if you're selling, you don't get to see what people are bidding.

This was probably a completely wasted post, since you seem more interested in complaining about it than actually getting help, but at least I tried.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I was guessing what he was saying. By the gist of the rest of the thread I think I had it right, but it's hard to tell for sure.

I'm still considering it. I don't particularly care for auras and the only cloak that I might use with my current characters is the Impervium Mantle (I'm not sure if I'd prefer it to their current capes or not). It is cool but I'm not sure if it's worth ti to me.

In regards to his ability to express himself, I chose to give him the benefit of doubt and assume that English isn't his first language and that he may have trouble using it.

Kudos on your sisters skill at picking up a third language. She sounds like a very bright young lady.

While that may be true, it doesn't excuse him threatening to make Aett "eat his words".

It also doesn't excuse his getting bent out of shape and declaring that, since respecs don't do what he thinks they should, they are useless.

Sketchy English or not, there is an attitude in those posts that is completely uncalled for.

Understandable. One of the other things I like about the pack is that all the items are available at level 1. Sometimes I find it annoying having to wait (even tho it isn't very long) to get to 20 for capes, 30 for auras, and 35 for costumes linked to rewards. I like to have my concepts complete when I leave the character creation.

That behavior came later in the thread. My decision about his grasp of the language came while I was reading his initial post. Reading his other responses gave me other opinions but they didn't affect my choice not to act like a grammar nazi.
