I'm not saying that is going to be the case because I, like everyone else have no idea at the pace new content will be added to the store.
What I am saying, is we need to wait and see - blindly saying eventually we can get it all for free if we are patient enough is not necessarily true and should not be advertised as such.

Says, among many things, "New arcs once a month". I'm not sure exactly what is and is not included in the meaning of the word 'arcs', but if they are producing stuff faster than 'waiting for it' accumulates points to get it, then one still 'falls behind'. Further and further behind as time passes. That is the main point I was attempting to make. It may even be a tirivial/moot point to many.

I can see a possibility of 'needing' to spend one's PP on an excess of game components*, and thus the person who plays "all powersets across all archetypes" becoming less tenable than it is now. Which means that it could encourage people to "specialize" within the powersets/archetypes they do have access to.

Well you see, the computer system for the FBSA is really old cannot handle a hero with multiple, significantly different power combinations and similarly cannot handle multiple heroes with the same name (it also can't handle four digit dates and so any heroes who registered in the year 2000 or later have a registration date of 19XX displayed on thier profile). As such heroes who have the ability to drastically alter their powers (for whatever reason) are legally required to register separate identities for each distinct power combination who are then considered different entities from a legal point of view.

This caused a major legal problem when one hero tried to sue his insurance company for damages after his primary suit of power armor was destroyed in a fight while he was using his secondary suit. He argued that since the two suits were separate legal entities the primary suit was technically owned by an innocent bystander and as such his accidental property damage insurance should cover his costs in replacing the primary suit.

In any case they've considered replacing the system but the only output drive on the old system uses 5.25" floppy disks and the entire supply of those in Paragon City (owned by a historic computer museum) was recently stolen in a surprise raid by the Nemesis Army.

I would bet that a lot of people would pay a lot for this, I know I would like to have at least two of my characters change primary and secondary power sets.
