I haven't seen any mention of it in WDA, but are we getting the correction to Ranger/Paladin SP. There was a data error in the new system where level 4 is only granting 2 SP instead of 5 SP. Minor point, but still needs correction.
(Yes, its been bugged. And, yes, Eladrin is aware of the problem).

I don't see any mention of fixing Empower enhancement line which was supposed to be in 4.2

The current enhancements for empower do not give the discount they should.

Is this fixed in 4.2?

No, but a new metamagic system is coming in Mod5.

Has there been any consideration given to improving the founder items? Founders received a necklace of natural armor +1 and a helm of lesser false life. These items were great back then but they don't do anything now. I would like to see a sysyem that allows for upgrading them. What I am thinking is an automatic update as your character reaches a new level of experience or favor.

Despite being a pre-launch person and having both of these, I'm strongly opposed to improving them in any way. We shouldn't be further punishing people simply because they came to the game a bit later. Any additional benefits should be entirely independent of these beta/founder benefits. Long Term Subscriber benefits = good. Additional rewards for being an early adopter for the game = bad.
