Some very interesting ideas in here and they thev been said before. I do like the idea of rag being switched with Cerebus though.

But there is an solution already in place to help with timing issues. Its the fact that servers are on different time zones. Having played beta you knew what server time events like Cerebus was. Now maybe there is no server time zone that makes these events fall in place for you at a good time. Then the simple answer is to add another time zone possibly. Lots of players play on servers that are not in the same time zone as where they live for this very reason.

AND YES I 100% AGREE THE NEW REP REQUIREMENST ARE TOO HIGH AND MOVING THE HEROES UP 2 RANKS INSTEAD OF ADDING 4 NEW HEROES IN IS JUST PURE LAZINESS BY THE PROGRAMERS
