The one you edited in? Listen, if you need to look up a word, you probably shouldn't be willing to die on that hill of its definition or usage because I promise it only makes you look silly. My attempt to make peace via DM was thwarted! Anyway, back to OP. There's no problem with the system. The problem is that the sellers right now sell at 5 inf instead of offering at, say 600k. The solution is to go out and farm rares, however you see fit.

And you chose to hang your hat on the third definition termed obsolete. Biostem, I get it you have a beef with me, but just stick to your knitting.

That is *literally* the only definition after the year 1746. According to the OED. Are you Kang? Are you in the wrong timeline?

Um, usury is by definition a crime. It is *literally* defined as charging a rate of interest that is *illegally* too high. How high is "too high" is up to the courts, but I think it's currently in the 25-30% range.

You kid, but this is something I am proposing in real life. It's not going well. Usury is a crime, but tripling the rent you charge isn't...

Ooh, I like this. Will level 8 Warriors have Pendulum?

Right. But we are not on pay to play LIVE and the devs here halted cutting e merit drops in AE *because* people claimed they needed to farm AE in order to get incarnates. I'm not wed to this idea, but it seems to me to be a way to remove a rationale for AFK farming without hurting anyone.

Why isn't that in the notes then?

Like Spinning Strike.

IIRC part of the kerfuffle last issue was "We have to be able to farm E merits for incarnates!!!!" so they kept them in AE farms. IDK, if you don't need to farm them, then maybe we can go back to removing e merits from AE or even entirely.

I understand your concern, but this isn't a Fortune 500 company with shareholders. This is a pickup basketball game, or a weekly poker game. No one is beholden to anyone, and saying, "You know, we wanted to try this, couldn't make it work, my bad," isn't gonna hurt anyone.

Clearly they would suck faster.

Well, part of the argument for allowing emp merits to drop in AE farms was that people *needed* that in order to get their incarnate powers. If you cut the need for emp merits, you cut the need to afk AE farm for them. Just trying to throw ideas out there.

I can tell you exactly what's going on in rare salvage, and it has nothing to do with a shadowy cabal manipulating prices. Well mostly nothing. Brainstorms are great, but there are way too few of them dropping and trading compared to rares.

Ah, I finally saw it on their sixth reply to the post. EDIT: sixth reply after the gaslighting. Seventh reply in total.

Since no one asked me again, I'm going to say that @Ukase initial assumption was probably a pretty good assumption. There *is* a clear trend of moderators selectively moderating threads. That's your right. This is your version of the game. Now as more information came forward, Ukase apologized. I'm still keeping my eyes open for @Number Six's apology for their reply, listed above. Telling people that assuming that moderators are doing things similar to what they have recently done is "why we can't have nice things" is gaslighting and deflecting blame for non-inclusive behavior to others. Frankly, I'd love it if we all could say, "I see why you think that. Let me try to do better next time." Because if this IS only us, then we need to make it all us and not us v. not us. My two inf.

Just spitballing here. Right now, if you want to try something out in incarnate land, you either go on Test or you accumulate incarnate stuff like threads or empyrean merits. if you allowed respecs of incarnates (like refunding 60 threads for turning in a T1 power, or 100 for a T2), then no one would need to farm for incarnate components.

I’d like to ask the forum managers specifically, why was this thread moved to Suggestions rather than General?

Oh snap! My mistake, it was Bridget Fonda.

It's actually entirely the point.

I spent a bit more time on Beta, and I stand by my previous post entirely. However, you had not mentioned that Pendulum took a damage hit as it moved to T5 for scrappers -- you might want to add that to the notes. Swoop, Cleave, Whirling Axe/Axe Cyclone all maintain the same damage levels. Even with the lower damage that it was when it was T9 it is way too overpowered in comparison to every other melee power I can think of to be available at level 8, in my not-so-humble opinion. Its closest analogue now is Spinning Strike, which is a T7 for Street Justice which in and of itself is a very strong T7.

If William Holden had played the lead in On Golden Pond before he passed away, would he have been better than Peter Fonda? Snarky? Your thoughts?

I've been waiting for the motivation to try this out. I always assumed for absolutely no good reason that the Control Hybrid damage to controlled enemies only worked on control than came directly from control powers that you cast, but looking at City of Data (all hail Uberguy) it looks like it works on any control from any source, including procs, incarnates, other players, small beagles, wherever. Learned something new!

Take it up with Hasbro, bro! They own Wizards of the Coast and they are the ones publishing pamphlets with this information. Light your pitchforks and sharpen your torches!
