This; it is why I have played for 20-ish years and it is what keeps me here. For some unknown reason once I'd discovered P.U.G.s I was instantly addicted to CoH all of those years ago and I learned the game through that and, 20 years later I'm still learning.
The star system us great for identifying 'sore-players' and avoiding them. I have no problem with a leader forming a team to their own requirements, what irks me is being ignored for no reason whatsoever so upon that happening I g/ignore those who do that.
Apart from that the game and the player base keeps on improving under the custodianship of our mature player base.
