Outside of reducing AP costs, it seems like you are talking about something that could be done by raising the level cap over 550. I, like I think the huge majority of players in 5* land,have left most characters pretty baby champed. If I really wanted my Silver Surfer, Jessica Jones or Iceman to do that much more for me, I have 90-100 champ levels that I could pursue before any system that you are proposing.

KGB said: I still believe the game would be better off if it started retiring some older 5*.Other older 5* can just be retired (Surfer, Phoenix, Iron Man, Goblin etc) and eventually replaced with new 5* characters (ideally tied to movies but doesn't have to be).KGB
ThaRoadWarrior said: The only way that would be acceptable is if there was a resource refund as they dropped out of usability. And it would need to be 1:1, or have them turn into claimable favorite shards equal to their level or something like that. I'd for sure quit if my 5* roster started dropping off into the aether with no compensation.
Bad said: SSBB, logan, banner, strange,BW, jean grey, silver surfer, green goblin, have 40k health. SSBB, strange, BW and SS have powers of 14 AP, so a reduction of 2 AP wouldnt matter for them. So what would be a playable character?Perhaps you will agree, to nowadays standars:‐must have 60k health minimum-must have maximum 10AP cost-must damage minimum 15k per 7 AP if there is no other effect.

I'd for sure quit if my 5* roster started dropping off into the aether with no compensation. For sure they'd need to offer a buy back at the time of retirement. Say what they did with Gambit when he got nerfed (I can't recall the exact buy back details now, was it 1 random classic 5* per 2 covers?).You wouldn't be forced to sell and you could continue to use the older character if you didn't sell (just like you can with 1* Yelena). They could even allow players to sharget them if they wanted to continue developing them. It's just that they would no longer be in tokens/vaults/new 5* release stores or featured in PvE (or PvP if we ever get 5* PvP) so they wouldn't disappear off your roster.KGB
