Amending Paragon Reward Bonuses for Preems

Finally got around to doing this, as futile as it may seem...

Tier 2 Bonus: Ability to join/invite to Super Groups

if one has the ability to join and invite people, not to mention convert your own Inf to Prestige, they should be allowed to pay base rent too.

Tier 4 Bonus: Full access to the Market
Tier 7 Bonus: Full access to Invention System


These should not be that exclusive, let the Invention System be unlocked at Tier 4 along w/ full access to the Market.

Tier 8 Bonus: Access to Large Inspirations

...wut? you should not be gated from certain inspirations just because you haven't played for 5+ years...

My understanding is that free/premium players cannot interact with the SG registry at all. That means no creating SGs, creating a base for an SG, converting inf to prestige, or paying rent. Did I miss a memo somewhere and free players can convert influence to prestige now?

either you were misinformed or something changed

you're able to interact with the SG Registar, but the Pay SG Rent option is not available in the list for Preems.

As I see it the restriction is another incentive that encourages Prem's to subscribe and prevents them from creating a bunch of solo bases that they can use for storage, and limits the use of other base functions that incur rental fees. They must choose between limited access or recruiting a VIP into the SG.

The devs are dead set against making it easy for us to create solo bases.

Just a tad annoying...I would like to believe that they're holding out till the next quarter to make any changes.

Well (within the last 60 days (on a Ustream I believe)) the devs were asked about adding a feature that will let us send SG invites via email and the response was that if they were to add such a feature we would not be allowed to send SG invites to characters on the same account.

I've pretty much given up hope we'll see anything we've been asking for done with bases.

I disagree. You can use the market to buy more than IOs. In addition to inspirations, you can get HOs easily this way.

The invention system has to be a high tier reward. It's one of the major reasons to maintain a subscription.
