Yeah, well proper weapon handling has never been a concern when it comes to powerset design in this game.

This is an issue in FF14 as well. Doesn't matter how many times community leaders tell folks to let sprouts watch their cutscenes (there's a lot of important story stuff in there), there's always that one jackoff who insists on pulling the boss immediately. Granted, FF14 has a lot more folks who will simply stand back and let those jackoffs get splattered by said boss, but there's still enough folks who don't learn the lesson for the dev team to flag some cutscenes as unskippable to stop it happening in major story dungeons.

Plan?

For the most part if I don't like something, I don't run it (PVP, Eden and Sewer Trials). That said, I echo the bit about the rather obnoxious patron arcs; doing them for the 99th time doesn't make them any less annoying. Accolade buffs are something I usually pick up organically as I happen to stumble across groups doing the relevant content or not at all, with only the Atlas Medallion being worth going out of my way for. Wouldn't be onerous at all if it weren't for that damn escort mission. There's no such thing as a fun or rewarding escort mission.

Given the OP's posting pattern seems bent on picking up where Diantane left off with the blockheaded delusions and misinformation, I doubt it.

That would be a hard no. Speaking from experience, maxed resists do very little against buffed Recluse.

Which does nothing at all to help MMs in the other 95% of the game.

That said, the fact that they share infrastructure effectively allows them to share the bills. This means CO can turn a profit off even the most minimal revenue stream because STO prints money simply by virtue of being attached to a nigh-unkillable IP.

Seems we're on a tangent here.

Until you put enough of them in one place that it became obtuse.

*generic deformed villain group here*: I'd say these guys have been beat with the ugly stick, but that might actually improve things.

Does it still count as lurking if I actually post?

Probably, yes. CoH has faced legal problems from Marvel before over this, and that was when it had the resources of an actual company to defend itself (and Marvel didn't have Disney's resources to squash people with).

If my enemy's anemones are the enemies of my anemone's enemies, then my anemone's enemies are my enemy's anemones.
