I dont enjoy PvP so i must PAY REAL MONEY to avoid it.
the phrase "BITE MEH!" comes to mind.
Yeah to lock NONPVPERS out of an expansion that they paid for... Do you realize that NONPVPERS pay for this game as well? Do you realize NONPVPERS were stuck with aliumz weapons because the expansion they BOUGHT did not give a viable way for NONPVPERS to gain enough VP to ever purchase an OFAB weap? Did you ever think it might have been a tad unfair to make me wait for THE NEXT EXPANSION to get an upgraded weapon? Cmon...

Two comments, overall I think this is very nice:
1) Buyable levels. I agree 100% with what someone earlier in the thread posted. Buyable levels are much more palatable to me if there are forced breaks where the person actually goes out and learns their profession for 5-10 levels.
2) Buyable VP. I would much rather see a rework of OFAB and Tier armor, so that Tier armor is the best for PvM and OFAB is the best for PvP. Then PvM folks wouldn't be forced into PvP, and I think the buyable VP is much more palatable.

they couldve made buying vp and tokens something to do with ingame money through some underground/illegal smuggler thing/quest. buying these things for money is just dumb.
on one hand, im liking the new changes they are doing to AO mainly because it makes the game less of a grind which will make new players stay longer.
on the other hand, they are making the game too easy and casual for my tastes.
I hope the special edition ofab helmet and rings will be yes-drop so i can buy them with all the VP i have on my endgame chars for my alts.
Buyable VP?? Yes kill Battlestations even futher than at the moment...
Buyable levels??? Not even bothering to comment on this one....
Buyable tokens ???? If you want to make the game easymode (not that it has ANY challenge atm anyway...) why won't you just add option to buy 220 endgame setuped character?

But that is not FC. From FC all you get is the basic stripped 50/100/150/199 toon. And please this is not game breaking as in this very thread it is clearly stated that you can be 200 in 3 days from power leveling.
So the difference is that someone sat AFK for 3 days vice just buying it. In both cases they have the chance to be utter noobs at the chosen class.
Now I do like the idea of an instance 150/199 MP for nano buffage. In fact I would pay to have my buffing toons instantly. Just enough gear to cast the buffs and then they can sit in the backyard forever. Yep beats the crap of spamming shopping and OOC for buffs. So FC will make some money off me just for the buff toons alone.

Tip #743: As noted in Tip #244, tea bags have an infinite variety of uses. However, there's always one jerk who will want to give you crap over drinking tea. Particularly if in a new town, use this as an opportunity to assert yourself. Any drunken idiot can win a bar fight. It takes a real man to win a bar fight while enjoying a cup of Earl Grey.
I'm sure someone's probably mentioned this already, but I think this would be a great idea IF it is included as a Veteran Point purchase. Vet Points are the real measure of how long someone has been subscribed and playing, and those are the folks who should be given more leeway in time spent grinding to a given level. I'm okay with offering it as a $ service, but it really should be acquirable through VetPts as well.
(yes, this is me speaking as someone who has played since launch, but doesn't have a 220 character yet and will not likely in any forseeable future due to time constraints, so I won't get to utilize these boosts either way)
