I think the clutter is an ongoing interface problem and these threads are just a topical place to complain about it. Having it come up in a related official thread every week is marginally more likely to attract dev attention than posting in the suggestions forum while not requiring people to think of a solution before saying there is a problem.

It's a rez! It's like they *know* I'm going to charge in to a spawn set for 8 and accidentally, say, toggle Snow Storm after Heat Loss instead of Blizzard...
Not that I'd ever do that...
... like I did last night...

.... thanks for the rez, I can always use another. >.<
Underwhelming, but appreciated" sums up my feelings for this week's offering.
Still hate the visit Winscott mission- make it dropable, have it give actual exp or remove it altogether. PS- Down knows who you are.

Don't like it, don't claim it. |
Mystic just post your opinion and just move on, the nerd fan-boi's are gonna kiss PS back side no matter what they do.
Freedom Fridays is just a bunch of junk I already have and will be glad when the day comes I can delete it from my e-mail folder.
This is my opinion.

I use these. I like this. Thanks!
Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.
For all of you apparently to slow for sarcasm....It was a joke you know something to laugh at not a complaint.....maybe some of you need unplug cause you seem to miss what human interaction looks like. I would have thought the big LOL would have been a clue.

To me, this is how feedback should be presented. An opinion backed by reasoning. Not just "this is lame, and I won't use it, and we should get better stuff."|

Character Items is almost completely unusable though. I'll likely never use any of my team/dual inspirations or temp powers because they're items I can't remember the names of half way down a 58 line alphabetical list in a 4.5 line tall window that doesn't resize. |
It's concise, to the point and respectful.
The "character" item window definitely needs a revamp of sorts. Especially with the Super Packs. There is just so much stuff listed and with the window not resizable, it can be difficult to find things - especially on the fly.

Pretty clever of me, eh?

Here's to more Free Stuff, even small Free Stuff!

- Mahatma Gandhi
Still CoHzy after all these years...
While probably not the most useful item to put up, it certainly does no affect the way I play this game. I will claim it, as I am sure at some point I could certainly use it on a lowbie.
It's perfectly fine to have an opinion. No one is saying anyone's opinion is wrong. It's simply that some opinions make one seem like entitled whiners wanting 'better' free stuff. When, you know, it's free.
OH SNAP, FREE COSTUME PIECE THIS WEEK. (It's new, to boot!)
Official proof that no, the freebie won't always be a consumable.
Oh... what's that? It's for females only?
Seriously, WHAT THE PANCAKE, DEVS!?! (╯°Д°）╯︵ ┻━┻

I'm not complaining about the hat (I like free stuff, after all, and non-consumable free stuff is even better!) but wasn't the reason that we couldn't get the tall Circle of Thorns mage hat due to clipping? Granted I haven't seen this in game yet, only in the icon, but it looks pretty tall.
EDIT: Seen in game now. It is, indeed, pretty tall. And pretty sweet, too.

They never gave us a reason, but I am about 90% sure they didn't give us "the other half" of the Circle of Thorns gear because it's not modeled to fit female characters.|

(To be fair, they aren't designed for huge models, either, but which of those two fan bases do you think would be the one to raise the biggest stink?)

Princess hat?
I bet Im never going to use that costume piece but hey its free and its new.
Thanks!

I'm not sure how to reply to this. I take offense at them furthering their costume gender bias, and you imply that I must not know that "princess" means "girl?" Really? Really, GG?|

You can go suck an egg, as our new Drudge friends might say.

It's a rather nice move to give a free costume piece. 
This does make me think about how I do so want the CoT hat though...
