I think that CoH in particular is just a really bad fit for this. There's essentially no overlap between people who want the game to "push you to be careful" and people who want the rest of what CoH is trying to offer.

i'm pretty sure there's no such mechanism, and would be really surprised by one, because... why would anyone implement that? defining "if there's a bidding war" seems like a lot of work, and... what problem would this be solving?

i'm not seeing how they're disrupting me. like, i've just never actually had any of this affect me.

okay i think i'm missing a thing as a person who is not doing this, why do i care whether someone is doing this? like, if they're enjoying it, and it doesn't hurt me, why should i care? i guess there's two questions: what rule, exactly, are they breaking? why do i care? because sometimes a rule is a little approximate and bans more things than we actually care about, and in other cases it just isn't enforced, and actually... that seems fine to me? my friend, people are at this moment being killed. if you want me to think that someone, somewhere, should so much as push a button in order to solve your problem, first you will need to sell me on the idea that it is a problem which needs to be solved.

I don't even know why that's bad...

OP reads like you think the people runing petless masterminds are under the mistaken impression that they've picked a maximally-efficient build and they're bad at it.

I think I never felt like I was grinding in rift, if I just went through doing stories and following loose ends I ended up at level cap.

I don't think "levelling" has to imply "grinding". If levelling is all quests and adventures and plots, it's great. If I'm spending a ton of time grinding, it's boring.

it's not "too technical", it's just not particularly sensical or useful. it reads like an abstract theoretical list of things people might check for in video games written by someone unfamiliar with this game or its current state of development.

I hope not, because I even wrote a guide on how!

you can make it other people's problem to deal with your actions, but if you do, they will probably dislike you and avoid you, and that's sort of normal. this is why we learn social skills and try to be somewhat accommodating, so other people will like us more.

As a programmer/techie in general, I'm pretty much just used to "you don't need to know how the furries run everything, but they do", so I just assume it's a typo and is actually the Well of the Furries and then whatever it does is pretty sensible.

So the calendar feature of the website has been disabled. I know this because most days if I come here I get a bright orange THE CALENDAR FEATURE OF THIS WEBSITE HAS BEEN DISABLED banner that tells me that the calendar feature of the website has been disabled, because the calendar feature of the website has been disabled. The calendar feature of the website has been disabled. After a while it doesn't even sound like words anymore, it's just a rhythm that underlies the forums. The calendar feature of the website has been disabled. I didn't even know it existed, so I probably didn't need to know it was disabled, but I certainly don't need to be told this often. Please can it go away.

You're allowed to play until level 49 and stop there, too, so that's a lot more combinations that someone might have.

i mentioned this to friends who were around back in the day and they pointed out there's also a 1-shot prevention mechanic in the game.
