About 8-9 years ago I made a thread with this title on the CoH beta forums decrying the lack of secret identities, travel powers at creation, capes, etc. I was subsequently smacked down by MacAllen and got my first of many CoH forum bans. Still, I've been complaining ever since. I certainly wasn't the loudest or most prolific doomcrier, even if I was one of the earliest.
Still, I played the game at launch, and have returned ever since. Sometime just in time to complain - about ED, about the CoV, about the market, about in-game ads, about pretty much everything. Nonetheless, I continues to play, and pay. I canceled for cong dtretches of time, but I always came back.
Don't get me wrong, I still think you're all a bunch of sycophantic fanboys that refused to recognize problems and call for them to be fixed while they still could be...and too many of you spent way too much time insisting everything was fine with the game when clearly it wasn't.
Still, the game got a lot right and I never wanted it to actually shut down, and it was always nice to come back to. I never deleted any items, and kept a stockpile of good names in reserve (Sorry to anyone that wanted to be Captain Praetoria on any populated server) because I always knew that the need to be a superhero would hit me eventually and I'd want to come back.
So anyhow, adios to the dev team and the fanbase. Hopefully you'll find better success in your next MMO.
