... or are you referring to people who put in embarassingly low bids for things I value more highly?

I honestly can't remember a cutscene task force recently where someone wasn't spamming the channels. It's like a hundred brat kids are telling you the same stupid knock-knock joke over and over and over. It's not cute. It's not funny. It's not clever. It's not original. Trust me, you are not the one gem of a cutscene spam comic in the midst of all of the spam dregs. And yes, I've seen entire spam conversations. And yes, I've seen people in cutscenes doing elaborately planned out "skits," complete with emotes and everything. If that's not impressive to me, trust me, you sure as hell aren't.

Personally, I'd love it if they completely silenced all team, broadcast, and local chat for however long the cutscenes last, it irritates me that much. I know they won't do it, because it falls into the realm of not really causing any harm, but it annoys me enough that I'd still like it nonetheless.

Cutscene spam was clever exactly one time.

/my humble opinion, I realize I'm probably in a minority.

I would think anyone who claims to care about the longevity of this game would understand why the devs had to put an end to people like me who made farms that turned AE into a shooting gallery.

I would hope for the long term benefit of the MA system people would be understanding of the temporary solution even if it hampers their ability to create original content.

I don't think it would be in anyone's best interest to roll AE back to a shooting gallery so some folks can fully express themselves by creating a mission with multiple hostage allies that would most likely not get played by more than 500 people.

Limiting your creativity in the short term to benefit MA in the long term seems like a very easy call to me.

But what do I know, I'm n00b.

I've only had an account for 21 months now.

Unintended irony is the best kind.

Look, I have a high regard for the developers generally. This game will always be the one I come back to. I eventually came back even after the even grosser disappointments of i5 and i6.

I want AE to be a smashing success. As I've said before, AE has done wonders to sustain my interest in the game. I enjoy the creative outlet, I enjoy having missions available that actually contain new elements ... and I enjoy the XP, and the tickets that allow me to sidestep WW/BM for salvage and recipes, because that's a mini-game I don't enjoy nearly as much.

I probably am done with writing for AE, though; my next arc will be my last for the foreseeable future, and I probably will take down the ones that are made wastes of time by the patch if this drags on like the other one has. Yes, this makes me sad and angry. I'm no longer willing to put in the time to create arcs only to see them so casually stepped on.

If we want AE to remain viable as an alternative way to play the game, the writing community needs to unite in defense of our mutual interests. Telling people that it's nothing to get upset about is not helping what ought to be our common cause.

I haven't noticed any huge difference tbh since before the nerf apart from a delicious absence of farmers spamming their undesirable wares in Atlas AE.

Perhapse if we did what was meant to be done rather then what ever we felt like this would work...nah!...insanity!

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Words to live by.

Seems many are going to do this.

Seems many think that what I found Ideal to be completely a waste of time. Slot lvl 25 to 35 frakenslotting...forever...never going higher, because its cheap. The supply just isnt there, red side of course. The proposed fix would fix it, quickly.

But junk to you will get deleted...yeah thats thinking past your own nose...

from them. Inflating the market is just one way of enticing people to but from them.
If you choose to be naive about it that is fine. If you really want to get people to drink in your drinking game, how about adding this to your game: Everytime you talk about something you know nothing about, people take a drink. that way you will assure that people playing your game will indeed get drunk.

Then thought it would be a bad point for all exactly the same bonuses. I was trying to have a direct and cogent contribution to the discussion of adding more purples. A conversation that I support taking place and hope to see progress on implementing in game some day.

Yet, I was chastised when I wasn't the only one with my opinions. Looking back I see a note on how anyone can use hecatomb in brawl, now a conversation on whether sleep purple set is useful... I was certainly more on topic. I am just confused I guess.

Thats crazy. I think there needs to be an extreme limit per item in WW that you can sell things for. Now I'm not talking where you can sell a purple for 10-20 mil or even 50 mil, but to price something at 400-900 mil or over a bil for 1 recipe...that needs to stop.
