There..fixed..after all..heroes got their powers 'free' for how long?
Or you know stop being silly and just give both sides access to all Epic Pools with no Arc requirement. And even unlock LRSF from the badge requirement if people feel strongly about it.

Maybe it is silly, but it does not stop me being 100% correct. Redsiders had years of doing the arc for powers. If it balances things to no longer require anyone to do arcs, then it would be just as balanced if bluesiders had to do missions as well. Or if they HAD to finish Maria to unlock the stf/mltf.

Just about EVERY single rsf I have done, since that stupid requirement came along, has had some form of discussion and panic about if we have someone who can start it. SO yeah..I do feel strongly about that
one.

To clarify..I love the patron arcs. The idea of doing the tasks to get the powers is great, and makes sense. Not everyone wants to be FORCED too though.

Really? Just about every LRSF I've done has had this discussion:

Roderick has joined the team.
[Team]Roderick: Hi guys.
[Team]Roderick: Do you have the SF unlocked? I can take the star if you need me to.
[Team]Leader: Nah, we're cool. Thanks.

Edit: "Since that stupid requirement came along"? I thought that the requirement had been there since the SF was introduced?

No, the requirement was not there the whole time. I remember doing it back with lvl 54 Heroes, and we would do 2-4 per night, and NEVER had to worry about being able to start.
