You cant make everyone happy... so dont even try...
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

You sir, with all due respect are insane.

Um. Have you done the Incarnate arc? If not, how do you know you wont enjoy it? Simply because there's more than one mission involved?

As far as craziest complaint... okay. Yeah. This is up there in probably one of the all-time craziest complaints EVER. |

Cleb, I think I have some GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD advice for you.
It's a bit tricky, but I think you'll follow...
Since you won't do this arc to get incarnate content (I understand), there is no incarnate content for you.
If you'd like to try some new content that you can do straight out of the box...
Speak with Ramiel in Ouroboros. He has some new content that might be fun!!

Pac-Man could have been such a fun game, if it wasn't for all that bothersome dot-eating.

The cape and aura arcs are like 2 missions each and take about 5 mins to complete if you just run thru em. If they just gave us everything without having to do anything for it the game would get boring fast and no one would play.

Maybe I'm alone here, but I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE having to do missions to unlock content. It's probably the biggest complaint I have with the game. Capes, Auras, ITF, even Patron powers. It is so irritating to have to do a certain arc just to be able to go do some thing fun/interesting. I have like four level 50s who can't access capes just it's such a pain to unlock them. I've been told it's a short arc, but I really don't care...Having to do it on every toon I want Incarnate access on would be so tedious. I didn't think it would be easy or quick to be able to become Incarnate, but having to do a story arc is just annoying. I don't expect to use the Incarnate system at all. |

While I can see that the amount of snark is reaching critical mass, and will soon explode in some sort of Sarcasmagasm, I must agree that Cleb, you are just wanting to hate for the sake of hate. Whatever.
If you plan on going thru life being morally opposed to doing things you have to do to get things you want to get, GLHF. (The term, nearly always applied in cases MUCH more extreme than this, is "Paying your Dues." You may or may not be familiar.)
Let's analyze a few basic games we all might be familiar with, which would fail under your rubric of not having to do stuff less than directly related to the thing you are trying to actually get:
Football. You have to advance the ball 10 yards to get within 4 tries, which then allows you to repeat the same process, in order to eventually score a touchdown. FAIL.
Baseball. You are required <GASP!> to go to first base BEFORE <REGASP!> going to 2nd base, then third, then home to score a run. FAIL.
Hopscotch**: You must step on the first square (eek!) then the second, each with the same foot, then simultaneously (OMG!) with both feet on the 3rd and 4th squares, continuing in a likewise manner until reaching the final square...<snip> FAIL.
Running. You must place your left foot on the ground, then the right foot in front,
(these may be interchanged at will), increasing the speed therewith, advancing forward. (apologies to any disabled people who may have those cool tech devices that let you run without one or both said feet.) FAIL.
Which of these games, if any, do you have a problem with?
Does this argument make any sense, that paying a small price for a big benefit is relatively harmless and a reasonable request to make of a player? Can you think of any other video games that require similar things? Pong, for instance? How about every adventure game ever written? Am I taking Crazy Pills???
** - please note, I am very unskilled at this particular game, and apologize to any professional Hopscotchers/Hopsceetch/Hopscootcherie for any errors in expressing its basic strategy and tactics.

Hmm... Maybe they should set up NPCs that allow you to type in passwords to unlock content. How about this. Go to the character selection screen, pick a character that hasn't unlocked anything, and press up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Eenter.

You can do content unlocking the Incarnate Arc.
You can then do content IN the Incarnate Arc.
Both are content.
