Powersets (and monetizing them)

    Dear Devs,

    Simple suggestion in keeping with DCUO updating how they monetize (recently announced changes about ep40 etc).

    Please consider making ALL powersets free as part of the base game. Instead of monetizing them directly a la carte like how it is currently, build in Styles and styles management into the UI for powersets and release new monetizable styles for the powersets instead.

    examples:
    Sorcery could have a powerset style which skins sorcery to look like Zatanna's vegas act style magic, or Dr Fate's Lord of Order golden egyptian style magic, or , Tala or Klarion's Lord of Chaos dark magic. Fire could have a green flame inspired by Justice League's Fire and so on.

    This will allow a wider variety of players to be able to experience different powersets instead of some sticking with the basic free 6 ones, which in turn prevents burnout and is more likely to retain players, and for players who do choose to stick with the basic vanilla 6 new additional styles for those powersets will give the game another chance to monetize those players using those powersets who would otherwise have nothing to sell them. In addition it opens up more customization options for players which again encourages retention.

    tl;dr make powersets free, build in powerset styles and monetize those instead, make new powerset styles. profit. :)
