To anybody who thinks the solution to farming is nerfing AE.. you're wrong.
AE pumps more supply into the market than it does actual INF.
And whoever says goldfarmers use AE? They use actual dev created farm missions for purples, and play the market. They don't even necessarily care about GENERATING goods to the market, just getting what's available to sell. Any rate, the potential to make cash is far and above outside of AE.
Anyway it's nice to get some honesty from the devs for once. They don't want us to use AE for farming. Thanks for coming out and saying it!
Edit: Also, there's no way this was anything but an attempt to slow down leveling. The addition of MORE mission instances to the server over a short period of time isn't going to be increasing performance. -
As for farmers pumpin infamy into the market i am sure they do some but yet all the rolls i get that i do not use goes on market for a cheap price. My salvage i get goes on marke for cost of 111 infamy. I do agree that Farmin AE does help stock up the Market supply to help the prices stay sorta low. If AE would be taken out i bet anything Market price would sky rocket cuz alot of the market stuff comes from AE

Quote:You have a point but yet at the sametime, when mothership raids go on and you have a 30-40 man league running with all the Rikti or all the trial leagues and etc goin on in a full server. I would think a X8 fire ambush farm is petty to that and everyone is knocking down the AE farmin and pushin the blame on just the AE or so it seems, but it is not the only factor in the matter of oodle of CPU time.Originally Posted by Rodion
We don't know exactly how the server is written, but assuming the code is reasonably well optimized, mobs in another part of the mission that aren't yet on the aggro list won't require any processing and won't even be examined most of the time. Therefore, people running regular missions won't use a whole lot of CPU. But fire farms with x8 spawns and multiple ambushes will be using oodles of CPU time.

Quote:But that is the thing with me and my point.. I do not care about makin the infamy/tickets.. I rather have the XP so i can play my toon at lvl 50 so i can enjoy everything in the game. Alot of people sitting back getting upset over people wanting to PL there toons but its there choice really. As if it is your choice to play the arch or stay at low lvls. For Example: The players that do only PvP in the game. They pay to PvP not play at lvl 10-20 for days. They make their toons to get them to 50 asap to build them and get them into battle, and they do that because it is their choice to do so. As of the Market being brought up as well. The market prices suck but yet why not do away with the market and everything is bought from a vendor? In that case everyone would be paying same price for it and also has the same opportunity to have a uber toon.Originally Posted by Giant2005
Previously I ran one mish to get 1500 tickets and 100% xp, now I have to run two mishes for 100% xp but I get 3000 tickets for my efforts. The Devs have doubled the ticket gains.

Quote:How u figure farmers are pumpin the infamy into the system? There are many ways to make money in the game and way better ways to make that money over AE farmin. Yes AE farm is a good way to make money, but beings they making the money doesn't mean they are pumpin it into the market. If you are blaming farming on the high costs at market better pay more attention in the game because there is more to that than just farming. I am sure the RMTers just didn't get the money from the AE.. Such thing as called PvP IO farmin as well which has been proven to bring dbl the amount of money as AE farms..Originally Posted by Eva Destruction
If you use the market, farming does affect you. AE farmers are pumping inf into the system at an exorbitant rate. Unless you somehow manage to play in a vacuum, any action large numbers of other players take affects you

Quote:So why not go way back and get rid of the old AE arcs. They seem to do a good job and nerfing/deleting the good ones that people run so why not get rid of the old ones to free up space. I see all hatin on AE for farming but yet nothing being said about the ones who rather buy there infamy from the chinese or whoever it comes from. At least the people running AE is working for what they have and want. I myself will be leaving the game because the AE farming for tickets to craft because previously stated 350K for a common salvage is abserd. Prestiege to get base up and goin for others to enjoy. Not many people enjoy spending months and months on a toon that is not 50. Like i said before its like goin to the ones that RP or do Mission Arch or anything else they enjoy doin in the game and saying hey this is no longer allowed.Originally Posted by Giant2005
Why is it that people call "Farmer Doom" after every little change made?
Aren't you getting bored of that yet?
The only difference this makes is the fact farms take half as long for half the rewards. That equates to a net loss of no time and no xp, what it does do differently is it doubles your ticket gains when powerlevelling which is obviously a very favourable result.
The main drawback from this change is the fact a lot of the creators of the old farms no longer play the game, those farms are now useless and are going to bog up AE needlessly and I for one am sick of the story writer's crying over AE being bogged up like that. Even with the extra tickets generated, the change isn't worth more tears from them.
Also, the extra server strain from loading double the maps could prove to be problematic. Only time will tell. -
Quote:So what if i use the AE to farm! What is it any of your business or concern? My farming does not effect your toons or anyone else's toon. In Fact! Last i checked i do pay to play this game. Beings i pay to play this game if i want to sit in the AE and lvl my toons fast i should be able to. That is like someone going into Virtue and looking at all the RPrs and saying well we know you pay to do this but its not allowed anymore and same goes for the PvPrs, and PvE people, or for another example what about the ones that sit in RWZ day after day and farm for Astral Merits and EMP merits. Nothing is said or being done about that, but yet they do pay with there own money out of there own pocket to do that. If that is what they want to do with the time they paid for on the game then they should be allowed to. So in other words if i want to sit in the AE and farm for Tickets,Prestiege,XP, or money. Why is it such a harm to do so because after all like i have pointed out. "Its our own money paying to do so"Originally Posted by Lady_of_Ysgard
Ha-ha!
Seriously, did anyone NOT see this coming? Been needed for a long time now what with the proliferation of X/Regen custom enemy groups that everyone and their brother seems to make for their farm 'arcs.'
Maybe this will be the straw that breaks the camel's back and alert these people to the fact that the AE is not and NEVER WAS INTENDED AS a farming tool?
We can dream... -

I wa sjust wondering with all the troubles and i have been waiting all day to be able to play the game. Finally servers are back up and i am able to login and when i pick my server it tells me i am restricted to playing because you all want to go through my toons. Well all that is fine but since i have not been able to play for most of this day, does that mean i will have an extra day or so credited to my account?
