Uhm Mids Hero Creator wasn't created by NCSoft/Paragon Studios so odds are unlikely they will devote time and resources to this. You might want to suggest this to the people at the Titan Network because I believe Mids is a player created program.

In order for this idea to possibly work, one of the things that would have to happen is Paragon Studios would have to give Titan Network access to the back end of their game in order to make sure the interface works properly.
I shouldn't have to explain why that is HIGHLY unlikely to happen.

/unsigned just on principle of PayToWin. We're already pretty close, no point in stepping the gap.
I was doing some playthroughs of City of Heroes. Now they will serve as memories of a better time ...

They could also buy the program from it's creator. Not likely to happen, but they did go to a third party vendor to get that god awful market feature.|

But then that brings up another question. Since they didn't create the Market feature themselves, do they have the legal right to make changes to the market programming in order to add such a feature as the OP is suggesting?
Only way I could see this happening is if the devs created their own versions of both the Mids and the Market and replaced what they currently have with the new product.
If they were somehow able to integrate Mids and City of (As in, loading your build onto a character so it automatically picks powers etc.) then that would be great. Unlikely to happen, but great nevertheless.

THE BUILD MARKET
What if there was an interface you could go into to slot your toon with SBEs (store bought enhancements).I realize this wouldn't be good for everyone, but hear me out.
You make a build on Mids hero creator. You respec and choose the powers and slots you need. Then you slot all the enhancements you have, but realize your dream build needs a lot more. You then click the BUILD MARKET button. It's like the Pargon Market button. It takes you to an interface that is a lot like Mids. The powers and slots are locked. Your current enhancements are all plugged in. Maybe it will show stats (but not really needed).
From here you have every IO,HO,SO....ext. As you plug in the things you want/need for that dream build a running total of pargon points shows up in the top corner of the screen.
So you add LotG sets. a purple set, and a Gladiator Proc. The total in pargon point will tell you how much it costs.
When you checkout all the IOs are all ready slotted. This would save time for the buying, claiming, and slotting. Also, it would make sense to add a discount to this system. Sure a purple set (on sale) is 1000. So lets say you want 5 purple sets. Make it discount in some way like: 1000 points - full price The next 1000 points - 25% off next -50% off.
This would encourage the use of the system and will be a cash cow for the game. I rarely buy SBEs, but if I could get a good(better) deal on them I would buy them.
Also adding a SAVE build feature, or a wishlist would be great. VIP players who get "free" points could slowly add the IOs they need as they earn points.
Now this whole idea was a random thought and I know it could be explored and made even better.
