That's fine with me. If their friends are kind enough to play a bad arc over and over to make it HoF then more power to them. Most likely we won't see bad arcs in the HoF, but we might see arcs that people like well enough to play over and over.

I mean that's how I think it should be, not how it works.

If they are betraying? Not sure. Betrayal implies that they are supposed to fight.

Replace the secondaries with modified support sets.

Poison, trick arrow, traps, dark miasma, radiation, kinetics - for starters.

Make Hide an inherent power instead of wasting a power from the secondary on it.

I didn't send in a bug report about it because I believe that the old behaviour was the bug. I did save the arcs and if I can get them to work the way I want later on I'll republish.

"Open up" the next 20 or so levels? You think they have content for level 70 just sitting around on a server waiting for some kind of switch to be thrown?

If the current system is getting worked on some more, it won't be the current system but it won't be shelved. How hard is this to grasp?

You'll probably find out at the same time everyone else does, in i19 open beta.

I like it when my rep drops, it means that I'm doing something right.

I don't know what channel you're talking about but if it was the MA Arc Finder channel then I don't think there is such a policy. The channel is public so nobody can be banned anyway. As far as I know.

I don't really care about the extra slot (ok, I do), but HoF is a badge of honor. If I got an arc in the hall of fame it would mean that my hard work mattered.

If they would sell me more slots I would happily pay and keep churning out arcs that nobody will see or play until they turn off the servers, but for some reason they won't sell me more.

When I say that, and when other blasters I've teamed with say that, what we're really saying is "I'm nuking the next mob - it will be gone in two seconds and you can move on to the next".

We're not saying "Wait, look, look guys, this - this is gonna be awesome! Just wait a bit longer guys, I've got this cool power, but it takes a bit to set up juuust right. Ok, I've got everyone smoked, I'm invisible, let's do this.... soon. Now, watch this guys this is so cool, it's just awesome. Look, I'm in the middle of the mob, they can't even see me! I'm gonna put this bomb right here... oops, I guess it got interrupted for some reason. Better lay down more smoke. Now where was I. Oh yeah, hey guys where are you all goin? I'm not done here yet! Guys?"

In the first case it's a courtesy. It means that the rest of the team doesn't have to start selecting targets or wasting inspirations. In the second case it's ridiculous.

It was a sarcastic suggestion to show how you make a real inf sink, instead of what he suggested. The idea would be that instead of letting people sell their garbage to the vendors, they would have to pay the vendors to take it away. That would actually destroy Inf instead of creating more of it, like what Coolio suggested. I was making fun of his suggestion and making a (bad, supposedly humorous) suggestion of my own.

Not an inf sink. It actually creates more inf.

Not an inf sink. No inf is destroyed.

It would result in more garbage on the market that nobody wants. There was probably a reason it was vendored in the first place.

But the 250 Trap of the Hunter recipes that dropped between your recipe bag filling up and before that elusive purple would also end up on the market. Where they would sit forever. If you're scared of missing out on purples while you farm, delete a few garbage recipes now and then and you won't have to worry.

Nothing you've mentioned here has been an "inf sink". Maybe if people had to pay a fine for dumping their garbage on vendors you would have a point. Let's do that instead. Make it impossible to delete salvage and recipes. Only vendors can delete them for you but you must pay 250 inf for common salvage, 1000 for uncommon and 5000 for rare to make them take your stuff. Same with recipes. If you use the market however, it's virtually free: only a 10% fee!

If you delete enough stuff at vendors you will get so called Recycling badges, and if you get all of them you get an accolade which lets you delete your stuff yourself without going to a vendor. It will still cost the same amount of Inf to delete them, however.

THAT is an inf sink, and a great motivator for people to use the market.

Do you just mean any regular mission that can be played over and over for normal rewards, or does "good" mean some sort of exploit?

On an unrelated topic: is it possible to report players on the forums for asking about exploits, so they can be banned if they take advantage of them?
