Oh, that's perfect! I've been digging through MA, hunting for a starting Hellions arc for my Magical characters. I'll play it and rate it next chance I get (which should be this weekend). No guarantees I'll like it, of course, but if I don't, I'll at least tell you why.|

I really need to start hanging out on the MA forum more.
The concept is sounds, but the implimentation would need to be greatly modified. I think to start, this could work if you linked some of the characters on your own account together. That is Hero A can appear in Villain B's missions and vice versa. From here, open it up to characters on your Friends list and then open it to the Global Friends list.
At the same time, it would be nice to flag some characters as Allies as well, and have them show up in certain mssions as well. I think something like this could add to things like the Eden Trial where you actually rescue one of your own characters.
I'd also like to see what Positron's 'Nemesis' concept could add to the game.

Heh, I had planned to do more of the starter origins one, but I ran into AE problems with Rick Davies one. Wish we had the tools the Devs have, would make life a lot easier...|

A good number of players in the game go out of their way to create names with double meanings; copy existing trademarked or copyrighted characters; or just plain by-pass the word filter.
The only way NCSoft would be able to avoid the inevitable lawsuit would literally require having to hire somebody's whose only job would be to sit at a computer and make sure that every name and costume used by such a system met with the content guidelines of officially produced content. NCSoft would be ultimately responsible for any infractions making it through into the game.
To go ahead and shut down another avenue of idea, AE is not an excuse to do this either. The developers can flat out stick a player created content sticker on AE and if anybody threatens a lawsuit, point to that boilerplate sticker saying an actual player did the infraction, it was not developer created or endorsed.
Such protections would not apply, in any way, shape, or form, if the development staff were to call up the data-base on players directly for content outside of AE.
