I was doing some playthroughs of City of Heroes. Now they will serve as memories of a better time ...

You are a real gem, Dug.

Of course. NCSoft is a business and has a lot of expenses so if they don't get income then they will go bankrupt. Therefore logically EVERYTHING that they sell has the goal of stopping them from going Bankrupt.

And it worked because I know 2 SGmates have returned (I assume VIP status but maybe not?) only because of Water Blast.

Bad form not to link to the original

It's even worse form because 1) he's hotlinking the image from the site instead of hosting it elsewhere and 2) xkcd is not that funny.

So, Dug, yes, I see the back-handed point you're making. But, it turns out that you're back-handing Paragon Studios while making some sly commentary on the forum community, and as amusing as it is, I don't think it's constructive at all.

Dug is good for these kinds of threads every other day or so. Some better than others.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Well, in that case...|

Dug's posts have that effect on me as well. i usually click each thread with a little bit of a sigh and the expectation that i will feel a mild urge to facepalm and a less mild sense of disappointment when i read what's actually written. Sometimes they're halfway good, so i read anyway, even if it's just for the replies.|
