Freeforms on new silvers might be a problem (we will see after the gear, tier powers and SS changes are finalized) 'cause it is overwhelming, it was back when I started and we had fewer powers back then. As jax stated people could go for what looks cool or what they want over what works and make a poor job with their toons, thus having to retcon, guess what silvers don't get at 40 besides the extra slot? Some might rage quit after that. I'm not overly concerned with making the best/optimized Freeform build that I can, that actually makes me feel like I'm working or competing instead of playing, the reason I love freeforms is that they actually let me create the hero I want to play. I don't have to be a big DPS or as some people end up with, a glass cannon, I can make a survivable DPS with the powerset that fits the concept of the character I wanted to make/play. But more importantly, a build that fits that game style. That's a hell of a point there joh, though I have to add that a newly subbed player would be in the same shoes as well, freeform could be over whelming for anyone trying on its own for the first time, but most people, I figure, just go and start grabbing builds and work with them before they feel confy enough to make their own unless they are hardcore.

I'm not really sure if I want this to happen or not, but if it does happen I will buy it just because I have been curious about it. Either way, I still plan on getting an LTS once I can afford it.

TBH I've never really seen the point in LTS'. Unless it was at launch or something. I don't really know, because you can never tell how long the game's going to run for.

Yes, originally LTS was offered during the open beta and was cheaper than the current offer, which was re-introduced somewhere around FFA launch.

More options are always good. It's like a LTS lite. If anything it'll sell a lot of retcon/name change tokens...
Still, depending on how long do you expect to stick around maybe paying for a couple of months sub may be a better way to go.

Is there any more news on this? If so, I'm saving my Questionite.

Source: forums.champions-online.com/showthread.php?t=143540FF Silver slots are in the "In Design Discussion" In Design Discussion! These items in design discussion are for features that are being considered for an upcoming update. The next step for these topics is to have them added to the schedule. Some of these are smaller, quicker tasks while others are a lot larger and require more to design and implement. This isn't something they are going to add overnight, and they have to come to an understanding that by adding this feature, they may lose some subscriptions because of this (some will cancel sub and buy a free form slot, for various reasons and motivations).

A FF slot would have to be ridiculously expensive, Considering you're basically giving away "Gold Lite."

I am actually ok if it is just one freeform slot per silver account which only unlocks a pre-existing freeform character. That way they take less value away from subscription, also making a previous subscription a prerequisite but also allows those who turned silver to continue playing their character.
I myself have a character I will like to continue playing whenever I let my subscription lapse, and I don't think I'm not the only one.

Yeah if you are just buying a FF slot as a pose to the right to make FF characters on your account, I can see the whole Silver vs Gold debate staying even;
Silvers might have access to FF, but its through a pay per slot format, while golds always have a potentially unlimited number of slots with free retcons @ 40, vet rewards, bag slots etc etc that silvers can't even come close to competing with.

The so called 'morons' are paying players or subscribers who pump CPs into the exchange for free players to grind and exchange their Questionite for these slots. The exchange itself is the mechanism where free and paying customers each can get what they want out of it and to keep revenue pouring in, not the slots.
