Wait, what??? 
I haven't seen any mention of a CCG within the Power Packs (I also haven't had a chance to read every thread and there is a lot of new news popping up today). Can you please link to something or tell us where you heard about this?
Sounds interesting to say the least!

The OP is slightly confused and so are you. He's referring to the Super Packs.|

OP, maybe you should try becoming more familiar with an upcoming feature before making suggestions, it's not anything like what you've put forward.
The Super Packs are only available on the Paragon Market. It contains 5 "cards" (no, it's not actually a CCG, just styled after one), containing items of varying rarities (one of which is a guaranteed "rare"). Contained within the packs are a number of consumables (unslotters, XP boosters, team insps, etc.), as well as a pieces of a costume set exclusive to the packs, and the much-anticipated Archetype IOs. You can get duplicates of everything except the costume pieces, and the Archetype IOs will be sellable Wentworth's/Black Market/whatever the hell Praetoria's trading thing is called.
Many are understandably not happy with the prospect of items being made exclusive to a pack that must be purchased with real money. Making the ATIOs tradeable mitigates that a bit, but you know they're gonna end up as expensive as purples/PvP IOs, and the costume pieces would still be 100% exclusive. The packs aren't tradeable, and I'm not even sure they'll actually exist as an item unto themselves that could somehow be represented as a thing to be traded. It sounded like all you're buying is a random roll for 5 items. So no, there's nothing to collect here, unless you are Paragon Studios and the thing you want to collect is money.

I keep hoping that one day I'll be the only source for base salvage. I will have finally cornered a market!
Then
Step 3) Profit
...What's a CCG?

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

The thing is, while they don't offer badges as an item in the store, Positron's statement is not entirely accurate. What used to be Veteran Badges are now Paragon Rewards badges, which you now earn by spending money on a subscription OR by buying Paragon Points. |

IF they had kept those badges as "Veteran" badges and based them solely on subscription time, and nothing more, then the statement would have been more accurate. For the record, I completely agree with keeping badges OUT of the store directly.

Aren't there badges associated with the various Paragon Reward tiers? Can't one buy one's self up the Tier ladder by purchasing enough points and getting the associated tokens? |

First off i am a collector of many things already ingame with the range of temp powers all the way to the old base salvage [some of which im determined to get no matter what the price], so when i heard there was a CCG coming into the game i was quite excited to say the least.
Now as i understand it, some people arent happy with the fact that they are available purely as part of the new super booster packs. So here is my pre beta feedback of the CCG!
- Able to sell/buy on WentWorths. This should be a given imo, there is plenty of money inside the games community at the moment and any chance of creating an influence sink should be snatched at imo. Obviously some cards will sell for next to nothing while others for far too much but that will lead me onto my other suggestions.
- Continue having the cards as part of the super boosters but also have them as their own pack with a larger majority of cards within them.
- For the signature character cards, have them remain as part of the booster packs however they should also drop if you defeat that character. Some of the more commonly run TFs like ITF/Positrons will get their card value in WW down quite quickly, however it could also persuade more people to run the rarely run taskforces such as Shadow Shard to get a rularuu card since they will be rare on the market and more than likely sell for a lot.
- Have badges for collecting X amount of them.
Of course my entire suggestion is based on the chance that they can be traded on the market, personally i think the above is a good idea for the CCG!@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
