Premium Players get less than expected!

A horrible way to make cash is turning new players away at the door because of all of the harsh restrictions. I'm not saying that will happen, but its a definite possibility.
The guy I quoted had it right. Give just the right amount and the players will pay. They should tone down the restrictions a bit to make the game more appealing.

New players aren't being restricted, returning players who don't want to pay are.

This might sound selfish, but I have no problem with returning players not having access to Incarnate content- I've already had an issue with a lot of current players not knowing how to run trials, I would hate to see the floodgate open to even more people who have no idea what they're doing. Sorry, but I already got all of the "Wow this is cool!" out of me; I'm doing them for the rewards now.
That being said, I have no gripes with Premium players (Edit: Who have purchased GR) having access to the alpha slot and as it was the only one available during GR, I can see the point in them being allowed access to it.

Uh, when I purchased GR, it granted me access to the Incarnate System. Maybe that means I'm a n00b and therefore my opinion is invalid, but for those of you who don't think that the amount of time you've spent playing the game can either validate or invalidate your past purchases, no, you did not fix anything.
It was a prerequisite. So was your computer, your Internet connection, and your CoH subscription.

It was some how more annoying when I had her on ignore, they really need to change the ignore feature so you can't see that an ignored player has posted at all.

Soit's aprantly okay for them to delay something they've already sold you from the sale, and you to not have actually purchased it when they return it?

Well, I think the point is more that Aneko is unaware that very recently, we had to buy GR in order to access the Alpha Slot. This was not during any sort of beta, this was on the live servers... The driving force behind me buying GR was so that I could work on getting alpha abilities for my first level 50 character.
Exactly.
