However, I have noticed that no one is complaining about the ticket drop rates having changed. Since tickets substitute for other drops like recipe drops, this could be a clue as to where a possible bug may be lurking.

If the hypothetical bug affects regular missions but not MA ticket drops, that factoid should limit the search parameters in some respect.

Has anyone tested Developer's Choice missions specifically? That's a hybrid animal that could be different enough to offer some insight.

(Sorry to offer advice and not help, but I simply don't have the time right now.)

I wanted to send you goodies, but I understand you have discouraged that behavior, and so I am relegated to this: mere words.

I appreciate how much you guys listen. You spend a lot of time here on the forums, and endure a lot of abuse from people who have no idea what they're talking about, all in an effort to hear what we are saying. And while we all know how fruitless it is to try to please everybody, it is quite apparent that you do care what we think – which seems common sense as we are your paying customers, but I have infrequently experienced this from other vendors. Not only do you solicit player feedback, you act upon it. You guys have implemented changes based on player input, you try to keep us in the loop as much as possible regarding the thought processes behind the end results, you make yourselves available to the player-base on a scale I have never observed elsewhere. Of course I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, but I want to let it be known just how much your herculean effort is appreciated.

I truly love this game. I've spent hundreds, or perhaps thousands of hours logged in, and when I was (for whatever reason) unable to log in, I've spent additional hours with City-related activities: build planning, forum-reading, art. There are so many reasons I love City; it appeals to many distinct sides of my personality. And that in and of itself is a reason to love this game: There are innumerable ways to have fun, different goals to strive for, distractions to amuse. I feel like the game is a Tweaker's Paradise, though I must admit I may simply be biased. In any case, you have given as much control of as many aspects as possible to the players, and you continue to invent new ways to give us more choices, whether with customization, proliferation, content, or features.

Also a heartfelt “Thanks!” to everyone else who keeps the game running smoothly (or our reasonable approximation thereof). Moderators, customer service, even the admins and office workers (if Paragon Studios has such), everyone involved in keeping the whole thing going. And to all of the subscribers, whether we agree on The Issues or not, because it is our combined support that keeps the servers on; I couldn't do it alone. (Though I'd try!)

Thank you for this game.

Most Sincerely,
Kelly L Creighton, aka @kwsapphire

If that wasn't the case, there would be more missions that have only Bosses in the non-AE content, and in fact there are some that people farm.

If you CAN'T take on 300 bosses in the non-AE content, then maybe it was the AE all along, and those bosses aren't really as tough as "real" bosses. Risk versus reward, easier foes should give less XP.

If it was the challenge, and you liked that, that's fine, but risk versus reward. Many players can't possibly defeat foes like that. So if you were at the same risk as those players, you wouldn't be able to defeat them either. You are able to defeat them, ergo your risk is less. Your "hard work" is no harder than someone else defeating a challenge they find equally difficult.

The question is, should you get extra XP, for slotting IOs, and creating custom critters, and finding, well, "tactical advantages"? My question is, if you work so hard to create these incredible builds, farm for huge amounts of influence, and only end up making yourself bored because the game becomes too easy, why don't you just start over and not use any IOs? Why don't you play something gimped, like a petless Mastermind? A challenge is a challenge, whether you're facing 300 bosses, or 3 minions. Is it knowing that there's nothing in the game that can compete with you, unless you make it yourself?
