Couple of odd questions from a premium

Superior ATOs are account bound. But... in order to make a ATO superior you have to have it slotted and then catalyze it (Catalyzing is done in the enhancement screen...like combining enhancements).
So in other words you could not use a brute to catalyze a Corruptor ATO.
As far as I know when you go from VIP to Freedom... you have to unlock all your toons again - so you can re-choose which toons you want unlocked.
No clue about Alignment Merits.
As far as itrials go...on Freedom they are basically ran non-stop in Pocket D. The trial success rate is quite high on most trials. The last trial I failed was a few weeks ago and that was a Mag when it first came out.

Thanks for the quick answers. Everything sounds good for the most part, though would be nice if ATOs were easier to pass between chars on the same account...
Anyway, I remembered the question I had that I couldn't think of last night, and this one is a little heavier on the mechanics side...
For the most part I understand how Procs Per Minute work as opposed to the old chance system (since I understand everything will switch over in I24). What I couldn't find right away is how PPM works with rain/toggle powers. I assume its still only a chance every 10seconds like the old system, but when figuring out the rate, does it use the slotted recharge of the power, the timing between the ticks, or 10 seconds? If it uses the recharge of the base power, it seems like something like tornado/bonfire (with the new kd proc) and the Posi energy damage proc or something would be up near the 90% cap every 10sec since the recharge on the main power (even slotted) is still gonna be 30ish seconds.
I want to say the 10secs is the recharge rate.

"3) If I do stay premium, but use some of my stockpiled points to by SSA 1 pt 1, can I still get alignment merits (and cash them in)? seems like it might be a worthwhile investment since I have a ton of points left, and a good number of chars that can run that in no time flat."
Aslong as you have access to the alignment system you can earn alignment merits.
Alignment system is accessed as a VIP, an account with the Going Rogue expansion applied, or bought from the paragon market.
Was a subscriber for a long time (long enough that I still have IO access as a premium) and just recently came back as a premium (though I will prob go VIP again in a bit, once i have more time)
Got a couple of questions about some of things i missed and about the premium->VIP->potential premium again transitions. I tend to ramble a bit when Im tired, so sorry about the long questions.
1) Catalysts and ATO enhancements: I understand that catalysts just come from super packs or incarnate enemies, and that they aren't tradable. I understand that regular ATOs are trade/sellable, but the superiors are not sellable. Are the superior ATOs account bound or char bound? Just trying to figure out if I do go VIP if I need to get the catalyst on the char I want to have a superior IO on, or if I can farm them and make the Superiors with my farmer, then pass them around.
2) With the slots I have bought and such I have 14 slots on freedom while premium. In addition to having the option to unlock any of my old chars it also gave me the option of using them to create new chars. I made a couple of new chars to reserve names for water blast (got Rapid Flow and Water Main on Freedom). That means I now have more characters than allowable slots, even if I go back to VIP. I assume when I go back to VIP I will be given more unlock tokens up to the amount I should have as a VIP and I will have to leave 2 chars locked. If my VIP lapses and I go back to premium, will it lock everything and give me 14 tokens again (allowing me to change which chars are unlocked)?
3) If I do stay premium, but use some of my stockpiled points to by SSA 1 pt 1, can I still get alignment merits (and cash them in)? seems like it might be a worthwhile investment since I have a ton of points left, and a good number of chars that can run that in no time flat.
4) If I do go VIP again, are any of the incarnate trials hard to get going? I know I ahve seen some adds for BAF and the New one still. When my account first lapsed it was right after the Campus one and the MoM one came out, and I never got a successful run on either before I lapsed (though I have made it to the last phase of both before), so I would probably like to do them at some time. I have "Master of'd" underground and keyes, so I don't care so much if those are still rare (Though I was one of those "crazy" people that really enjoyed Keyes, and it was joke after the nerf).
I probably have a few more I might ask later, but like I said I'm tired and not thinking straight lol.
