The HUGE difference in application between something like this, and a chopper is BLADES. There are areas of tight quarters that having several hundred pounds of whirling death being too close by isn't a safe option. Now, I'm not saying these are safer than a chopper, but I AM saying that getting this in close to people or delicate property IS a shitload safer than dealing with a large bladed chopper.

Just my .02 worth...

It's about time that MJ was legalized. I hope you all realize that by legalizing this, not only are you allowing the medical use of MJ, but saving billions a year (plus who knows how many lives that are taken every year due to this "war on drugs") in enforcement dollars, and time. Also, look up how many uses there were for MJ before it was deemed illegal. Clothing, fibers for a plethora of items, oil that could be burned or use as a high quality lubricant for mechanical devices, literally hundreds of uses. Also, say it was suddenly treated (legally speaking) the same as tobacco. Taxed, regulated, etc. If you think the government make a ton of cash on cigarette taxes, you ain't seen shit yet when MJ starts bringing in the tax dollars. Not saying this will fix the economy by any means, but it WILL save us billions a year, and more than likely generate at least SOME more jobs in a few industries. /rant

Uh... endgame? In CoH? Really now... I've been playing for years now, and never heard of an "endgame" portion... you just keep going. When you hit 50, now you have Incarnate Shards to give you that little "+1" next to your level, and getting said shards HAS to be done via Task Forces, at least to get you "qualified" for the Alpha slotted stuff. The lastest Incarnate stuff is even harder to get.

Actually... you can make a "Scrapper" class hero that uses a sword and shield, or that just forgoes the shield, and yes, you can skimp his outfit, barbarian style, plus the hair, hairband, etc... Just an fyi, not an ad.

Also, not sure how this will work with say a long term player that HAS been paying all along that decides that he's set, but is tired of playing. Are they going to fuck over/nerf his toon? Will it get "converted"? Will he even have ACCESS to the toon? A lot of questions I didn't notice answered so far...

Should have done that in the first place, or just put a Linux distro on it. When I got my wife a small netbook a few years ago, after less than a year, the XP install started to tank, so I put the Remix version of Ubuntu on it (8.x version, I don't remember), and I couldn't get get a non-Linux distro now on her machine now if I paid her. She does a lot of stuff on it that a student would I'm sure, writing, creating recipe databases, etc. She doesn't handle the updates well, (she still trusts ME to be her "tech support" on it) but other than that, she loves it. Speed was the major bonus for her, plus the stability.

Just saying, not looking for flamebait here.
