I14, The Good, The Bad, And The UGLY
Good ^_^:
* With the new story Arc system, COH stands out boldly from other MMOs, it is truly a wonderful thing that players now can create there own missions and there own stories
* With i14 i can now sell my salvage and recipes for a lot more, making me just a bit more money then i already have.
* With i14 i wont need two accounts, always good to save money
Bad o.o...mew
* Outside of any area without a AE building, the game isn't a MMO, well maybe the O part but not the MM.
* Finding a normal team or a TF is like finding a purple recipe drop
* CoH has a really good storyline and offers very "awesome" missions, but who cares when there's one more free spot on AE farm....
* There are a lot of dead zones now, its like entering a MMO made "twilight zone" when everyone's dead but you. Only thing its missing is some guy smoking a cigarette and a flying door in otter space.
* With i14 the game isn't fun anymore (in my opinion) and i don't see a reason to continue to pay for something that isn't enjoyable.
The UGLY >:3 RAWR!
* Explaining to a 50 how to get to PI
* Most 50s don't know there own build.
* Most 50s don't know there's a world outside the AE building.
* If this continues most likely users will leave CoH by the masses the moment another big MMO comes out.

I agree with every one of these points. It's increasingly difficult to find a decent team, even in AE for a farm. No one knows how to play the toons they're leveling. People are running 8-man lvl 54 boss farm missions with a team full of toons under level 10, and then they wonder why they keep dying.
I like to play blasters, in fact, I love to play blasters. My toons don't stray too far from the blaster AT, so I never run into much of a problem when trying out a new build. But at the same time, it's hard for someone like me who primarily plays one AT to deal with the moron-athon of people who don't know how to play their toon. I like to play and level and team with other ATs to make leveling more efficient. I hate that I can't find a team outside of an AE farm. I'm tired of the farming.
Above and beyond any of these things though, the worst part of I14 is the fact that I get disconnected every 10-15 minutes because the server (Freedom) is so lagged up. If there's any one thing that will keep me from renewing my subscrip in June, that'll be it. I'd love to be able to move all my toons to a less populous server that has less lag and less d/c, but I refuse to pay for it.
