Sure this won't really take anything away from them, but it doesn't really help those that can't, it just gives them less buttons to mash.
So... you're complaining that a change being made will make "bad" Kins better, while making things easier for "good" Kins? Mmkay.

No. That is not what I said. This change won't make bad kins any better, and it won't make good kins any better either, the good kins will just be outputting more.

Honestly, I see maintaining SB as a basic Kin competency. There's very little skill involved in making your way down the list and pushing a button every 2 minutes. It's just time-consuming. It's what you do with the rest of the time that makes an excellent Kin, IMO.

This change makes maintaining SB so much easier, allowing more time for the awesome Kinning. Sure, it might not make much difference to bad Kins other than making them somewhat more competent about maintaining SB, but I don't see how that males it a bad change.

I was always pretty good about keeping a team SB'd while on my kin, I gave special attention to applying it first on the list to someone who complained about getting it..

Now what are the odds even after i20.5 someone playing a kin fails to keep a team SB'b. High, I think.

As was noted as far back as issue 2, as best as I can remember, keeping SB and ID on a full team would use %54 of your time, nothing has changed in kinetics except the buff/debuff scaling difference for defenders and controllers/corruptors. Ok, there have been some minor adjustments. I cannot wait for this to go live.

Is there a copy tool for the beta servers?

Same as before, but with an added choice.

'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

The new trial was going to be on the Beta server, which the copy tool still calls Going Rogue.
