I wish this game wasn't such an 'icepick through my skull' level of pain solo.. I'd probably still be playing if I could have progressed at all by myself.

If it was decided to give us prestige items, they would probably want to give us less than the above numbers since obviously we can still be doing other things at the same time we are waiting for the deed to complete, so maybe the equivalent of 500 prestige would be good.
Generic house coins would be, in essence, against the spirit of the House Coin system. However, a bauble or other prestige item may not be a bad idea. We'll look into it for the future. I like this idea.
I won't comment on that idea (it's not a bad one though).
But I do want to talk a little bit about how you get gear. It is deliberately designed to give you items that you likely wouldn't use. The concept behind it is to increase the social aspect of the Sphere by having you, the player, needing other players to complete your desired gear. While you may have an extra Academic item, the guy with the extra Domestic gear NEEDS an Academic item, and thus there is a built-in incentive to trade items. The Auction House is the friend of the Diplomat.
That being said, we haven't done as good a job on this as we had hoped, and are tweaking things to address this.
And how long after that to fix the names of the items and the other bugs we've seen with T4? *snicker*
No harm meant...even with the bugs I loved my Kojani fashionable t4!
...except maybe those robes...Robes are for pansies.
Yeah, yeah. It's a known copy/paste bug in our dev tool, and I fall for it every time. There are less different types of T5 clothing going in, so I will take the time to ensure that the Idara outfit doesn't have the Kasey Umbertroe description on it. :P

Supposedly this got panned really hard at a film festival a while back, and has been heavily recut since. Pretty much every critic said it was sophmore director syndrome.
