    +1. It's like the war on drugs. Trying to fight the dealers isn't going to do much when the users are the ones who will go to any length to get a fix.

The question is less whether they can detect it, and more whether they want to take action to stop it at that particular moment. In my personal opinion, they need to be more proactive, but I'm not the one that would have to monitor those statistics and then make daily decisions on what sort of actions to take. Keep in mind the devs do not, as a rule, have 100% control over the live game. Customer service does, through the CSAs and GMs and service operators. A lot can get confused in translation between dvs and customer service.
    I remember reading an interview or a redname post stating that they had the ability to monitor such things because of the possibility of abuse. Never seen it being used or referenced to ever again, so either it never made it to live or they've chosen not to use it or can't.

    They should just have an internal marking system that will note how many times a particular toon is repeating the same mission over and over again in MA. Once it reaches a certain threshold it gets flagged for review and automatically starts lowering the xp gained (by that toon) from the critters in that mish to a lower value until it gets unflagged.

    Especially if the cops are asking.

    I guess he wanted to bump the thread but didn't want to break the rules? Or is this a thread bump and am I breaking the rules?

    I don't agree that this is always the case, or even most of the cases. If you are talking about basic by rote play, I'd suppose it is the safest route, but not faster, not by a long shot.

    The basic evidence can be seen in the overall times of ITF...I would highly doubt that you'd be able to get a sub 20 minute run using herding techniques versus steamroll.

    You know?...

    You're a little late but I will accept your salutation nonetheless.

    Hmm...how often does it happen when it does? Does it bite you during the same play session after a while, or does it only happen when you launch the game?

    Pets that respond to attack in BG mode are still giving the MM a BG buff (ie. the damage is still split).

    Yellow titles given out on test don't transfer onto live without more work.

    Not that I can give out any yellow titles.

    Um...I really don't know, but you have to access Justice to be able to compete. :P

    Part of the excitement was that it was an open auction. You could never be sure if someone was going to jump in and put down the hammer of inf.

    Why can't I afford to get my unnecessary artwork done with no effort?

    Technically the art is real life loot and you can't trade inf for that. Understandable, but sad.

    No issues with either one, so I'm not sure why anyone else is having any issues.

    Testing was done on a 2008 Mac Pro 10.6.5 with a 5870. Only thing I noticed was the cursor was the Mac cursor in full screen but changed to the CoH cursor (albeit colour inverted) when swapping to windowed, but that is likely the change to something else since removing the data folder still made the Mac cursor behaviour stay.
