Not quite true. It's that much for all 30, but it's only $5 for that chance of 1 skin. Perhaps semantics, but at least get it right. :)

The fight difficulty was fine... Either have a couple interrupts, or movement skills to get out of range of the health drain. Every class has that or a combination of them. If you are having issues here, wait until the last battle mission... I will be waiting for your new thread.

The sense of entitlement is real. It's a free gift. Complaining about free items makes it look like you are ungrateful. You seem to have forgotten all the other items you received. Not only do you get a free wardrobe unlock, but you get a new backpack skin unlock, two choices of a unique 5-year anniversary weapon skin, a new title, and a 2-week lounge pass. And that's the Account gift! Each character that is 5-years old, including those mule characters that are never played, gets the 5x Teleport, 50 level boost scroll, 2 birthday boosters, free karma, and the Exuberant Dye pack, that contains rare dyes worth 100's of gold on the TP. Complaining about a dye unlock worth 19 silver when you are getting hundreds of gold worth of gifts and other convenience items PER CHARACTER is ungrateful.

It used to back when the game came out, at some point it got changed, though i cant remember the reason for it. That's, ironically, because a number of leaders ended up enjoying their power too much. Besides trolling and power trips, there were also some common problems associated with the old model - the main one was that party often had to quit and restart if something happened to the party leader (and in some cases even a simple dc could kick everyone from the instance).To add on to this, it also made it a lot easier for the party leader to arbitrarily kick someone they did not like, wanted to replace with a friend/guildmate, or they simply thought were not skilled enough. By making it more of a democracy, it decreased a lot of party griefing/abuse. It still exists, but a lot less now.

I would also ask for something to distinguish the commander. I know that targeting the comm is a thing, but on the occasion I pop a tag, I like to target enemy players, siege, etc. for my squad to focus.
