There was a lot of needless redundancy, like individual powers for different classes (or different levels of a class) that had virtually the same effects. There were also a lot of extra mechanics and resources to do specifically one thing, like milestones and Action Points. Healing surges were underutilised as a built-in resource management tool for players powers and abilities. If I were redesigning the system, I would sell heroic tier as the base sytem and each tier after as an expansion. Most campaigns never get past level 10, so why sell the whole game to everyone that goes beyond that? Focus on the heroic tier for your entry level and casual players. That's nearly everyone. Then, for the long-term, dedicated crowd and advanced players, sell the next bundles for Paragon and Epic level play. Each one builds on the previous set.One of these days I'm just gonna spill the beans on all the redesign ideas I've been working in my head for the last couple decades.</blockquote>
