*sigh*
Y'know what? Fuck it. I no longer even give a damn. I already let my VIP lapse - mostly as an experiment to see how exactly things get impacted. My Veteran status is such that I still get most of what I've earned except for the incarnate stuff. (The IO set bonuses still work for me without me having to pay for them, etc.)
It irks me somewhat that I don't get my incarnate stuff too... But... fuck it. I've come to realize that this incarnate stuff has added something to this game I never really wanted. A grind that amounts to WORK. Reminds me of all the unpleasant GEAR-related issues that plague the end-game of WoW. As in - you have to devote a significant part of your life to achieving anything with it.
In the past I've been pissed off about this sort of thing. But now... meh. I'm not even going to bother. I've essentially moved on. Champions Online is a lot more fun for me than City of Heroes at this point. I re-upped my sub in Star Trek Online to give that a try again and have noticed lots of improvements there that make it a fun game. I might even try the new Star Wars MMO when it comes out.
I can still get on City of Heroes for the social and RP element now if I want to. But I just really no longer give a flying fuck about their end game content anymore. It's too much work. You guys go on with it.
And yeah, that means I'm no longer going to be an active leader of the Legendary. You can demote Lora'Lai if you need to. I've done everything I can with the base. But the devs don't give a DAMN about fixing all the myriad things that are wrong with that system. And with the latest bugs, it pissed me off to the point of swearing off from base editing entirely. It makes me too mad to do anything with it. And if something is actively pissing me off whenever I even TOUCH it, then I really can't be bothered with it. I already have minor blood pressure issues in real life. No need to add to them over a game.
Cyberman 8 and Kara Skye and my other 50s are essentially semi-retired as of now. Hell - I'm semi-retired from this game now. The incarnate crap (and the base issues) is just one more reminder of why.
(Important Edit: Not to say I won't come back. This is not a rage-quit forever thing. But I've been fighting off a case of Serious Burnout with this game for about 3 months now. And this doesn't help. I think I just need some time away for a bit. I've had to do that before. But maybe because the burnout came at the WRONG time and I fought against it for too long... Yeah. A case more extreme than others I've had before.)
