Blog Commenting, the C-Store, SG HQ's, and Superheroes

Ok, this stuff might have been posted elsewhere but it deserves another mention if that's the case.

1. Why can't I post comments on the "blog" sections of the website?
I'm a LTS player and always logged in to the website. I'm starting to think my feedback, as a player, on blogged issues is not wanted.

2. Will Become devices found in lockboxes ever be added to the C-Store?
Please offer items like Become devices that "come" in lockboxes as separate items in the C-Store. I want the items, not a chance of items. It's like telling the grocery store I want green beans and getting a can with no label that almost always has corn. (No offense to corn lovers, just an example.)

3. Has there been recent information about adding Super Group "housing"/HQ's, aka Champions' HQ type social zones?
STO has done a rather reasonable job at added them for player groups. I'm just thinking some reciprocal work could be done.

4. Is there a timeline on when the focus of the game development will be back on superheroes, for example new powers?
I know this sounds like a sarcastic question, but I am being serious. Honestly the focus has been on starshi....I mean vehicles. (Sorry thought it was STO for a moment. Also that last part I was being partly sarcastic.)

Constructive answers and/or links to these questions is appreciated.

    1- Because they know we'll blow the lid off the garbage they keep shoveling at us.

    2- No, because people keep gambling for them and they are successful.

    3- Ha.

    4- You mean superhero vehicles. Don't lose focus here.

    When you said "superhero vehicles" I thought of invisible jets and batmobiles, not the mech stuff there is now. LOL

    Just bumping my thread to see if there is anyone able to legitimately answer the questions posted.

    Cybersoldier pretty much nailed it. Substantial development has ground to a halt in this game.
    The only thing we will see in the future is lockboxes, lockboxes and more lockboxes.

    My answers to your questions:

    1. Because it's an oversight on the dev's part which will never be fixed, because website features have an ever lower priority than fixing in-game bugs.

    2. I HIGHLY doubt it. They can make more money off of them through lockboxes.

    3. It has been discussed in the past, but at this point it would require a good chunk of developer time and resources which Cryptic is unwilling to spend.

    4. They will continue to milk vehicles for as long as they can make money off of them, which will probably be until the game shuts down. Don't hold your hopes up for superhero related stuff.

    I can legitimately guarantee you're more likely to get 100 vehicles by opening 100 lockboxes that you are to get an actual reply from Cryptic. Aside from that:

    1. Really? You're on the forums, so one would have assumed you must've noticed your feedback, as a player, is not wanted back in, hmm, about 2010.

    2. Why? The carny con business model is working and your feedback, as a player, is not wanted (unless mayhaps if you're a lockbox cheerleader).

    3. No. It's been specifically ignored in the latest Ask Cryptic, most likely because if they had officially stated they're not really working on it people would've given them feedback, as players, which is not wanted.

    4. Real Superheroes Fly Blackbi... Batwi... Flying Vehicles. And Cryptic could focus on those if you, a player, stopped giving feedback that is not wanted.

    I haven't been active in the forums much at all since beta. Just every so often.

    By the way, I'm still hoping against all odds I'm wrong... but I didn't get those 100 vehicles yet.
