Thanks for posting this - I think the same way and also feel like ranting.

I have liked playing around with making my own AE missions, etc and teaming with sg mates for theirs. But the overwhelming farming mentality of the game has kind of made the excitement of AE wear off for me.

Also, my main is a 50 fire/kin that I've played for 2 years that I enjoy all teaming with and did not make specifically to farm with like so many did. Now every time I log in, I get so many tells with "Join 54 boss farm" and an immediate invite that I promptly decline. It's worse than the tells I'd get from PI farmers before MA hit. I too have been ending up just doing ITF often.

I made my first new toon today and entered Atlas like I usually did in the past (but this is the first time I've gone there since i14 because I always kept to IP or PI for making my missions) and all there was was constant broadcasting from level 30+ for AE teams...so I'm not really sure anymore where a level 2 can go for teaming and said as much in broadcast and was immediately insulted by a few people.

I'm hoping i15 and Rogue will make this fun for me again.

I don't feel like reading through the many pages in this topic to see if this is mentioned (highly doubt it) but...

Flared pants are missing from under the "Pants" category for females. It is still under "Tight Pants" but you cannot choose your boots with that one. And "tight leather pants" no longer exist; only "motorcycle leathers" do.

And because tight leather pants and flared pants no longer exist, we have to pay 200k influence (as a level 50) on top of whatever cost the thing we wanted to change in a costume is because the pants are being reset to whatever default and is acting as if you changed them on purpose?

This is QUITE upsetting.

Otherwise, much appreciation for the higher functionality coming from this issue.
