I'd say it makes more sense to express concern with a potential upcoming feature before it's actually implemented and released than to wait until it's done and shipped and you're stuck with it.

For a community based around a discussion board, there sure is a lot of resistance to actual discussion.

100% Agreed.

However there is a distinct difference between expressing concerns about potential implementation, and claiming that something is terrible before you actually know much at all about it.

Pointing out the difference, and pointing out the fact that there is no way you could actually know how it will be implemented isn't exactly my definition of stifling discussion.

Sure, that would be better, but it would still suck, because it would mean the only way to reliably keep items is by buying them. It turns the drop system into a demo for the store.

Who cares if the drop system becomes a demo for the store?

Ever heard the phrase "don't look a gift-horse in the mouth"?

How people can so consistently and aggressively complain about free stuff is beyond me.

It's not baseless there is precedent for this in CoH: online. I don't really understand how anyone can think this would be a fantastic addition to the game when what is described in UCS file is identical to how it worked in CoH: online.

For some reason, you think that because they both have the word "durability" that they are destined to be identical systems, and proceed to shit-talk Relic as much as you can.

For all we know they very well may be the same system, but please realize that they are just as likely to be very different.

Put your pitchforks away, now is not the time for them.

as a consumer do you think that buying an item from the store that has charges to it that degrade every time you use it, which you top up by spending more money so you can continue to use that item is appealing to you?

Personally I don't find it appealing and I think it's a terrible idea. When you overtly try to wrangle as much money as possible from your player base you put people off.

As an internet-poster do you think that making virtually baseless claims about a companies future business model is applealing to you?

Personally, I don't find it appealing and I think it's a terrible idea. When you overtly try to use your extrapolated theories to shit on a company that is trying to make a profit by apparently claiming to be able to predict the future. You put people off.

It's just a terrible business strategy honestly. And if commanders are included in the list of items that degrade then it would have real gameplay ramifications. You can be critical of things and discuss those things without whining you know. Much better than sweeping them under the rug and pretending they don't exist.

First, a few lines of code isn't anywhere close to enough information for you to claim that you have even a remote idea of what Relic plans to do. Please understand that any claims here are wild speculation at best.

Second, microtransactions have proven to be the exact opposite of a "terrible business strategy". I hope you are aware that the most played game on steam (by a wide margin) is a F2P game, rife with microtransactions.

I think we get that. The problem is that we paid for items and we don't want them to just disappear after we paid for them because we didn't have enough moneys to keep them fixed.

That would be ridiculous, you have exactly zero reasons to believe that they will take your paid commanders away from you. I hereby offer you the official maskedmonkey2 golden guarantee that this will not happen. If Relic comes and takes away your paid commanders, I will personally paypal you what you paid for them.

People need to relax, for all we know, this could be a fantastic addition to the game.

It doesn't really matter to me how the draw is done. I was thinking that (theoretically) to get the most "correct" result, we should rank and power protect. This table is what I came up with based on 1v1 ranks.

It appears that most bears are too busy hunting with other bears to get many 1v1's done, and to be honest I don't think it is actually reflective of skill.

In any case, here it is.

Name	1v1 Rank	Allies or Axis
Aerohank	22	AL
swiffy	593	AL
Australian Magic	749	AL
Kovutalli	753	AX
Laz'	888	AL
