The change to boosts is fine, and the apology for not communicating it and the rationale in advance is appreciated. HOWEVER, the last 2 PVE events have been impossible because the huge number of super high leveled enemies cannot be beaten without the same boosts that you're trying to reduce. You can't have it both ways. If boosts are being made more expensive, there have to be fewer missions with maxed out enemies. Not zero, but far less. Otherwise, the fun is gone. Agreed, and the last two PVE events have definitely been substandard. We've put changes into play in the Heroic event to fix things up a bit, but it's unfortunately not something we can do retroactively without an actual reset. And given that a number of players are able to progress at a decent rate it'd be unfair to a portion of our player-base to do so. What we can do is use the improved methods in the next PVE events and look into a re-run of Heroic Chapter 4 with a better start.

Lightning Rounds are also a great source of weekly Iso. None of those have changed in their forms. We've also been rolling out PVE Events at an increased rate compared to a couple months back which all have the same Iso rewards (100/200 per first time mission completion, 100/500/Standard Token rewards). Our users are gaining more Iso per capita than they were this time last month, much less this time October.

This current PvE would do well with a +20% Dark Avengers boost. My H.A.M.M.E.R. stockpile is full as i'm sure others are as well. Any thoughts?

I think the mission rewards for the main brackets (Heroic Oscorp, TaT) should reset once every 3 days. If you do it every day you'll have people complaining that they got to do every missions 15 times a day to ensure they got all the rewards too, so might as well just save the trouble there.

I understand it must be hard to get to such "lowly" mid-levelers with all the boohooing of hi levelers and their 230 woes.

It's manually disabled in all Tournaments. Somehow it is appearing for some users. We will track down this bug and fix it. As for claims of broken PVP and PVE, I've commented in other threads on other issues. This topic is about the Skip Tax, so I am talking about that here.

When levels mean everything, it's going to be a point of contention when you can't level up. That being said, there is still no reason to NOT put in your fully leveled covers, and honestly, if you do much to the contrary, you've got a bad strategy. If everyone had all maxed out covers, it would be the same as nobody having maxed out covers, as everyone would be "equal" and diversity would be nonexistant. Why put in Hawkeye ever, when you have 4* and 3* maxed covers?
