I'll admit, im fairly obsessive about getting badges for my character, but damn
all you get is a badge, a useless special effect, and a cape...and unless you're into retro style heros, I think the capes are lame.
I wish some of these companies WOULD have the balls to say, "ok yeah, if you buy our special edition, you get some sort of buff/improvement. doesn't even have to be a big one.
yeah I know everyone would come running and screaming into the message boards crying about how unfair it is....but so what...it would at least make the collector's edition worth considering....maybe. in the end, what's the diff, people complain about PL'ing, people complain about KS'ing when its not an issue in CoH...it never really stops...so why should it be a big deal, you have to pay to play anyway...so paying a little bit more should yield some sort of improvement.
just me ranting I guess.
