START Vendors offer 5 free enhancements at the start, bonus attack powers, skipping the need for earned levels to have some additional firepower at level 1. And for some influence you can get both an individual and team mission teleporter that skips you right to the door of an instanced mission, buffs to your attack, defense, and survivability, and even more attack and travel powers. Some people choose not to use any of the START vendor optional stuff, or maybe just a little bit. It doesn't hurt the game for anyone else how they choose to use or not use the options.
Null the Gull lets you skip past the need to run alignment missions to switch alignments, and doing so immediately gives you access to the alignment power of the alignment you choose rather than having to wait 7 days. But people still run alignment missions despite the shortcut being there.
There already exists ways to skip through aspects of the game, ignoring what used to be considered necessary time sinks. And since we're talking about base storage and changes to the game, let's talk about prestige being turned off so that anyone can create a supergroup and build a base for each character they create, as big as they want with every amenity available at zero cost... at level 1. Again, people can create as much storage space as they want and it hasn't stopped the game economy from working.
You are perfectly entitled to not want to see options added, but don't make up reasons for not wanting it that are obviously false. I mean, if you want to, I guess go ahead, but I'll happily point out the fallacy rather than just "agree to disagree." I mean, since when are you Mr. Agree to Disagree anyhow? I've seen you like a dog with a bone vehemently naysaying some people's ideas because you don't like the idea of it, and you refuse to just let those arguments sit with a simple agree to disagree. So come on, give me better arguments than the game economy will suffer or just admit you're making up excuses because you don't want the change.
