I gotta admit, the first thing that came to mind was the zone Buff/ DeBuffs from the PvP zone missions.

Having "Competitive" as the option in-between Co-operative Teaming and Direct PvP? Absolutely.
The idea has a lot of possibilities and since there is not DIRECT PvP, it could be implemented without having to fiddle around with the PvP rules and possibly doing more damage.

Alpha Team, Omega Team, Shmega Team.
In character most of my characters, both Hero and Villain would enter the fray.

A couple of the villains would weigh their options first, then decide that fighting the Rikti was necessary for their goals, but none of them would back down from a fight.
Well, on second thought:
Cinae Exodus (Fire/Kin-Ruptor) would fight the Rikti, buy stay on Earth. Her goal is to return to the Past once she has gained power enough to stop Zoria from starting the Circle of Thorns.
Lt. Ferber (Bots/FF MM) would fight the Rikti, but stay on Earth, as he wants to return to the Future, and he can't do that if he is in another universe, and Rikti have destroyed the Earth, thus making human colonization of Mars in the 2500's impossible.
Kobold Kommando (Nin/Nin Stalker) would be the one character who would not stand up to the Rikti. Kobolds aren't known for "Bold", they're known for "Sneaky". Also, see: Filthy, Cowardly and Back-Stabbing.

I just posted a post that quoted your post.
Then I selected "Edit" to edit my post. Below the text box was the option to delete my post.

I deleted it, then posted this post instead.



Edit: I just checked on a thread that I started yesterday. I could still edit my post, but could not delete the first post in the thread. Possibly because the thread is "anchored" by the first post?
You can edit the living tar out of the first post if you feel that you handled things poorly, but if you were quoted, then all you can do is retract your incorrect or inappropriate staments and continue the conversation in a more positive manner.

Edit: Pointed out a typo that has since been fixed.

I'm one of those folks who is NOT a fan of double XP weekends, but I guess I'm in the minority over that. Doubling the rate at which new enhancement slots are generated without doubling the drop rate of recipes or enhancements to fill those slots? Even with doubling the Inf dropped directly by kills you still cause a jump in prices.

I'd rather see a double Drop-rate weekend. Once the Markets are fixed, let's flood them with products, to test the fix!

Heck, my April Fool's prank would be a Double Damage Weekend. Double all damage, both by PCs and NPCs. Remove the Anti-Oneshotting rule and the "Always 1hp or more after falling damage" rule.
Tanks would play like Scrappers, Scrappers would play like Blappers, Blappers would almost explode upon login. Servers might be able to handle it, but the hospitals would be strained.

Anyway, now Globals are down. Between Globals and the Market, I'm inconvienienced, but I played before either were around, and so I remind myself that both are optional and both can be worked around. And it's not like globals haven't proven to be fragile anyway, having broken multiple times in the past.

I'm sure that a staged walkthrough would be possible.
Would be maybe ten minutes with most of the employees getting an opportunity to say "Hi Guys!" at the camera. They would get a warning beforehand to not have anything revealing future projects tacked up while the camera walks around.
And if one of them says anything witty (or even remotely so) it becomes a permanent forum meme.
