The game has not changed one bit... Only the players have made there choice to play how they want, and once again were given a easy way to do this.
I dont belive for a min tha the original intent of AE was to PL but i am happy there is a way to use it in this fashion as well. I for one am happy to see teh Dev team sticking to their promise of "you can build it and run it how you want" and you know waht WE ARE!.
The overwhelming lack of interesting content in most of teh pve of this game has driven plp to make it to 50 in the shortest time period possible, i hope mostly to engage in the only true end game PvP.
I for one have bin able to try out new power combos that i would never have tried out for fear of investing tons of time that i dont have ( i work 58+ hours a week) into a build only to find out it sucks, now i can get to lvl 28 in a few hours and test out a build and see if i like it or will delete it.
MA and AE are not the evil things here nor are teh plp who like to farm, and yes some plp liek to jsut make money and farm, its your game play how you want but dont for a minute think of complaing about "oh i cant find a team, Damn you AE" cause that just means you are not looking in teh right places.
Or even dare i say it BUILD A MA mishion and set out to find a group of plp that want a challange and will rise to meet what ever you can throw their way.
