If this is back to popping up a window every time, it is lame

Just letting you know.

Okay.

That cannot work.

...How is a low level AV really going to be *that* exploitable? I mean really. This is lame.

One less reason to actually play the content of the game and just go farm your heart out.

Edit: Just tried a variety of missions. The Origin of Power Arc gives no XP for the fed ex missions. The hero Cape mission gives no XP for fed ex missions. Streethunts from Borea give no mission complete XP. This is total bunk.

I played the first two of these arcs all the way through. It was fun enough. I got to pick on Hellions in the first one which is always a good time. The second one gave me a horrible oranbega map with a glowie hunt in that 500 foot tall room with the central rock column, not so enjoyable. The third arc I stopped playing when I got a map of Banished Pantheon and mission objectives that looked like another way of saying "Kill All." I might give it another try when I'm not so tired of being lower level and have the patience to fight Storm Summoning enemies without all of my kewl powerz available.

...I thought I was the only person who felt that way!

In b4 either "They wouldn't mind" or "We don't want player type X anyway"

I joined when zone PVP was still kinda new and shiny and even back then I wondered why the devs didn't just have one PVP zone that anyone could get into instead of segregating us into four different zones. I can kind of see why they did what they did, each zone has a slightly different meta-game and to some extent they play differently because of the level caps, but making it harder for people who want to punch other people to find each other never made a lot of sense to me.

Probably.

If I were trying to make a mission like that, this is what I'd probably do:

1) Pick an indoor map.
2) Put an ally that betrays at the beginning, with the enemy group set to "Single" so they spawn alone and get rescued when you get near.
3) Put the glowie you need to lead him to at the rear of the map.
(Alternate) Put the ally and said glowie in the rear of the map for a shorter walk, and possibly better writing (and I guess 2 and 3 need to be reversed since the glowie should exist before you can tell the ally to betray at it)
4) Populate map with other glowies to click with awesome clues
5) Fill all the map spawns with otherwise non-hostile characters
6) Profit!

It's not exactly what you want, but it should work well enough.

Ganking noobs is an exploit?

They probably liked it then.

Weirdest comment I ever had was from right after the MA came out. I got a comment that I couldn't parse. I got other people to try to parse it, and three or four days later my subconcious had finally figured it out. He'd taken a level 50 and a level (something low) in a mission and was killing level (something low) enemies with his un-exemped level 50 and complaining about the lack of XP. I was kind of dumbstruck for a little bit, because that was the last thing I would ever have expected to get downrated for. So chalk this one up as my only experience with an AE baby.

Oh, here it is, I did save it afterall:

None, it was a total rip off.
