So we could add yet another thing to the list of IOs, accolades, and incarnate powers a character must earn before feeling "complete"?
That said, there actually was talk from the devs recently of giving us 3 more slots (by giving 3 slots instead of 2 at 25, 27, and 29, I believe), although it caused a lot of severe bugs and so they've had to revise their plans for it indefinitely.
I'd prefer they not be earned from a trial, though.
I was saying trials just to cover all bases, would rather them be rewarded through a my challenging TF/SF.
I wouldn't be upset if it never happened because charatcters are already pretty ridiculous with IO's and Incarnates. I've just been waiting for it, since before Incarnates were announced. I may even be as bold as to say before IO's came out.
By my, I mean More. very bad typo.
If there were ever more enhancement slots added (and on that subject I think there are equally many pros and cons to it) I wouldn't want it to be tied to the incarnate system or requiring a trial/league. With that said I think the number of slots that we have right now is good, and adding more would just take away the fun of designing a minmax build.
ya, adding Slot rewards would take away from the thinking before you place your slots. I guess there is a reason im not an Admin 
As someone mentioned above, they tried adding additional slots back when Issue 19 or 20 was in beta. They recently said that they are *still* finding things that it broke, months later. Which means two things: 1. They are still looking at it. 2. I wouldn't count on it ever happening.

I pretty much thought the whole reason for the Alpha Incarnate slot was to serve as a extra virtual Enhancement slot for all of our powers. In effect when you have an Alpha slotted you get a 7th slot for all of your powers. In light of the fact that they've had so much trouble adding -actual- slots to our characters I doubt we will ever get anything more than this. *shrugs*

The attempt at adding three more slots wasn't until the Freedom beta, so it and the Alpha slot probably aren't connected.

I'm willing to bet they've been toying around with trying to add more slots to our characters far longer than just during the CoH:Freedom beta. Afterall people have been suggesting this for many years now. The Freedom beta was likely just the first time we heard about a serious attempt at it. For all we know the Alpha slot became what it is today because they more or less gave up trying for extra slots the -first- time around several years ago.|

In any event my suspicion that the Alpha slot will remain the "closest alternative" to extra slots will likely stand for the time being given the problems they encountered, regardless of when they encountered them.

Personally I think it would be great if at level 50 you got 5 enhancement slots.
Although they've never commented on it, I think part of the problem with the extra slots was where they tried putting them in.
having 5 at 50 would let you 6 slot your level 49 power pick if you wanted to, it would let you round out some of those powers you didn't get to 6 slot, and it would make 50 stand out.
Theoretically more slots at level 50 shouldn't involve the same problems that adding at 25,27,29 would but of course that's speculative on my part and the SCR applies.
As long as they don't had "slot experience" to unlock slot that you would equip with slot recipes made with slot salvage.
If they could make extra slots work they'd just sell them on the Market.

Well, that's the thing. They want to sell them on the Market. I forget which dev said it when, but he said they'd have had slots for sale already if they could get them working.

That's cool. At least the lure of profits from the Market will continue to give them motivation to keep working on it. If it wasn't for that the Devs might otherwise give up on hard things like that completely.

I think it will happen. Synapse made it very clear that he wants] to give us the extra slots, and that he would continue working towards doing so. At this point it is just a matter of time.

I've been hoping that they add some sort of Trial/TF/SF that rewards Enhancement Slots for a few years now. Any one else been wanting this?
