I think it's the opposite. When a set has a self-revive, being defeated is no longer a fail-state, but just a natural part of combat. Think of it this way: if a set has a self-heal, does that mean the set doesn't provide enough defense or resistance to keep you alive? No, of course not. A self-revive is just the logical conclusion of that method of mitigation.

I made a mission like that in AE back before shutdown. IIRC the concept was the Clockwork were attacking in order to steal cosplayers' costumes to make stronger clockwork, apparently not realizing that most costumes are made out of things like foam and light plastics, as opposed to the cutting-edge alloys and metamaterials used in proper superhero attire. It was mostly an excuse to put in a bunch of hostages dressed like characters from other media. The arena lobby would've been a great map to set it on. I had to settle for a typical warehouse, and claim that the main convention hall had emptied out by the time of your arrival and everyone left was in the back hallways.

The game is absolutely suffused with FREEM these days. Ever gotten hit by a Rikti Pylon during a Hard Mode Lady Grey TF? The best way to kill a joke is to overuse it, and I'm sad to say Homecoming has done so to FREEM, imo

A badge for not killing civilians? Do you want any other prizes for basic decency, while we’re at it? https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency

Stocks

Okay, so basically there'd be an NPC or game window or something that's like The Stock Market, and it'd say "Would you like to play the Stock Market" or something to that effect and when you click the option to do so a portion of your inf is deducted from your total

You sit in a prison of your own design, trapped by toggles you didn't need

I didn’t say anything about that

I think it might be kinda neat if there was an in-game stock market where players could drop a bunch of inf, just for fun.

Oh you might be surprised how often changing nothing is very much an option.

You can, every Halloween costume is available from vendors in Vault Reserves for Prismatic Aether.

Getting all T4s is already way too easy. The balance of the 45+ game is completely screwed as it is.

Latin words? I say, don't be a dilettante, go for full-blown Enochian.

So, I do like this idea. But are you sure you want to wait until the end of the trial to find out if you completed the challenges?
